The Horse Crucified and Risen Alexander Nevzorov

Why was the book "The Horse Crucified and Risen" by Alexander Nevzorov burned by the president of the Russian FEI in the presence of hundreds of event visitors and TV crews? This book was a best-seller in Russia, demanding several print runs. It changed the worldview of thousands of people. This is the first book in history to reveal the whole truth about the painful essence of equestrian sport, the true story of the cavalry and the history of those cruel instruments of strict enforcement that people have used for horses over almost thirty centuries, never thinking that there is a completely different way... Alexander Nevzorov, a brilliant thinker and revolutionary, was one of a few people who understood the core of equestrian sport and was not afraid to call things aloud by their names. He was the first and the only one to expose equestrian sport for what it really is: "... Equestrian sport by nature can't be even defined as a sport. Yes, any sport includes records and victories, but these records and victories are gained by one's own sweat and blood, by one's own pains and efforts. And equestrian sport (if we study the issue) represents parasitizing on the physical abilities of another living being which does not want to be engaged in this sport, but is forced to it by pain and beating. So how the hell can we call that a sport?" Alexander Nevzorov is a renowned Russian journalist, film director, politician, scientist, writer and horseman. He is founder of the Horse Revolution and Nevzorov Haute École - the art of horsemanship in its highest form, where he has managed to keep the tradition of Classical School horsemanship without a bit or bridle for collection. He is the author of many films including "The Horse Crucified and Risen" and "NHE Principles", as well as hundreds of articles and many books.
