And should whips be banned completely?I do gamble on the horses but it would be a difficult to bet on a horse if the jockeys were only riding hands and heels,but what do you think?
 
i think whips are animal cruelty and should probaly be banned
its like someone hitting a human being with whip
and depending on how hard you whip it could scar.
 
no it is not cruel most of the time it is the whips sound that the horse responds to and they don,t really feel that much much with the new padded whips when they are given a slap. And the horses are bred to race Its not cruel
