wow, I love you.
You're just sayin' what everyone's thinkin'.
Seriously though, some of these "training methods" have worried me, but I haven't said anything, because I'm generally not one to start a flame war.
But yeah. wow. a post at a time is bad enough, but when you look at them all together...wow.

*I* am not a trained rider..i work on young horses getting used to beign groomed.. Sometiems they do freka out..that's when you've got to be calm...and soothing..and show them "I'm not a predator..nor is the brush..or the blanket" Not act liek you ARE a predator and keep at it until they get exhausted..I don't think it's fly spray on her face..i think it's sweat...from fear..and she just gave up..

It's not traiing..it's breaking a horses' spirit.

i'm not a great rider adn i say i Train horses..because i do work wiht them young..on teh ground..and make friends and earn trust..on the back of a horse i know how to stay on..point blank..nothing really above that..

But, the bits..the roughness..and teh topes..are all accidents waiting to ahppen.a.nd her horse isn't cut froma wooden fance..that's a horse CAUGHT in barbed wire. We ahd a case with the humane society here liek taht..the horse bled to death. It's not pretty and it scares me wiht teh amoutn of animals..that is there..and i wish she would stop..and fidn a better tutor.

you should go over there and teach that jackass a thing or 2. sounds like you know more about training that he does.

the only thing that really freaks me out is how gross that POA is.

I teared up. The boxer puppies and the poor paint foal got me. "Yea your pictures are awesome I love them post more!" NOT. Do us all a favor and dont ever post another picture. Someone should call animal cruelty

I found the pictures pretty scary - the place where the girl rides looks like a pretty high-class operation.

i know...apparently at least 3 or 4 owners are using him to 'train' their horses...it's appalling how little so many people out there actually know. and as usual, it's the animal that suffers for the owner's ignorance.

Sorry that I can't afford to ride at some stuck up snobby English barn where the horses sleep in stalls bigger than my room.

i don;t think sequined_accent was being sarcastic. i think what she was trying to say is, your barn looks pretty nice and like a big operation, so that makes it even worse that your trainer has such shoddy methods.
