This man and monsters like him that intentionally inflict pain on a normally obedient and loving animal should never be allowed to own a horse or animal of any kind. Anyone associated with buying or selling this type of horse should be locked up and given a trainer to do to them what they did to these horses with the same frequency of torture. Where do people get this idea that this is acceptable treatment? Do NOT even try to make anyone with 2 brain cells believe that no one in that organization knew what was going on. Now they drum him out of their "highly regarded" business and remove his name from a coveted list. As long as people buy these poor tortured animals this treatment will continue. He has proven this by entering his horses under someone else's name. He continued the torture. He has been caught numerous times and knows it was only going to be a finger shaking and a slap on the wrist. All life to me is valuable whether it be human or animal and has the right to respect. I'm not the judge nor the jury. However, I would love to be karma's right hand woman and dish this crumb his just desserts in giving him what he gave. And he still and will answer to God for his actions.
