Horse is always right! I chose these words as my motto a long time ago. They belong to Chevalier de Nestier, one of the Old Masters and founders of Haute Ecole. Some things in this world cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. Today we are at a turning point in the relationship between men and horses – we turn away from violence and lie, and look for horse’s well being and freedom. We are charged with a difficult mission. We are responsible for the future of the relationship between men and horses and we are to decide, whether they continue to suffer or we make them happy. Like in a classic screenplay truth and good counter lies and evil. And there is no doubt that the good will prevail. Both friends and enemies feel it. Some are crowing over, others are afraid. And there are those who are enraged and try oppose it vehemently. But in vain... You can feel the changes in the air. And you can’t seek shelter from them behind the closed doors of your stable.

Horse Revolution’s basic concern is to save horses from torments of equestrian sport and races, defend them from sportsmen and non-professional horsemen who use cruel methods in their work with horses. We do not strive for careful transportation of horses to slaughter-houses, as the International League for the Protection of Horses does. We stand against things that are generally accepted and welcome in the modern society. These are races, equestrian sports, use of bits and cruelty to horses. We undeceive people and spell out to them the truth about the violence and harmfulness of the equestrian sport. In the context of human values equestrian sports are fated to failure as any other negative phenomenon. This is an absolutely stupid and extremely cruel entertainment. However people are not thorough blackguards. They just need help to get undeceived and then during competitions they will pay more attention not to the fact of horse’s jumping over the painted sticks, but to the horse’s mouth and eyes, that are full of pain. We took the initiative to help people to know the truth about the equestrian sport. Horses cannot rebel against their enslavement. So we are to help them! There is no doubt people will understand all. It is merely a question of time.
