Hello Self-Righteous Vigilante!
(This comes as a response to the recent report that Patrik Kittel was threatened over the Blue Tongue video.)
If you haven't noticed, we're trying to have a society here. So that means, contrary to your belief, that you can't go about enforcing your personal laws on other people. If you're going to be angry about the Blue Tongue, then please direct your angst towards the governing body of international dressage competition, the FEI. Leave Patrik Kittel alone. Leave his horses alone.
While you're at it, take some of that angst and apply it to yourself. Learn how to ride. (better) Dissect your faults and see them as others would see them. Chances are that there's someone out there who thinks your riding/horse husbandry suck and if they could they'd take your horses away from you too.
Fight the FEI, fight the rulings. Motivate the FEI to enforce the rules.
Then STFU and ride.
