The problem, of course, is that reckless riding is frequently not punished. There is, sadly, plenty of blame to go around (sometimes) when someone gets hurt.

I agree to a point, but I think considering what happens to the riders and horses should lead to sterner punishment when warranted. We see that in human sports all the time.
