Meh, no one getting hurt. We already have dancing on ice, with balls, with clubs, with a long ribbon, on roller skates and dancing on bicycles (both bmx and road) as international sports.

Agreed. These people are just trying to have fun and enjoy themselves and you're kind of a fucking asshole if you have a problem with that. It says more about you then it does them.

All fair points, and I'm certainly not hating... It's the cosplay side of things is the part I get a little stuck on. Maybe cause I don't like horses in general.
