Seriously? Who leaves horses with people like this?
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

sadly lots of people...inexperienced horse owners who assume that because a guy is well known, or has big pretty full page ads in their breed association magazines, they can trust him.

It's the first I've heard of this story and I live in TX. My God, what a world we live in.

OMG!

I'm going Byzantine here...how about smacking him around the head and eyes with the handle of a whip?
A horse gallops with his lungs
Perseveres with his heart
And wins with his character. --Tesio

"I looked the horse in the eyes, and he began to kick violently," he testified. "He was obviously very disturbed by my presence."


That "trainer" is lucky he won't get the chance to look me in the eye. I get more than "disturbed" when in the presence of horse abusers.
too weird to live...too rare to die
