Probably owing to the fact that we as humans have a tendency to over train a specific skill or strength whereas an animal has only a couple basic instincts one being "don't die" and the other one being "procreate".

If a horse trained like a kickboxer, it would be a totally different story.

Holy shit I know the ethical problems that would come with this but I would pay a lot of money to watch horse kickboxing

I saw a video of a female horse in heat kill the male that was approaching from behind with a kick straight to the skull. Was really sad to see actually. Maybe best not made into a sport.

Ok but maybe you train them to kick a ball through a field goal instead

That’s the most North Dakota sport I’ve ever heard of!
