Becca, welcome to the livery yard mentality of this charming forum. You have behaved with decorum that I would have found hard to do. You asked a perfectly sensible question, and they have all followed each other in their usual pack mentality. Take not a jot of notice and carry on with your...
I am going to go against the grain here Becca, not everyone has the perfect environment according to this forum. Most class us all useless and follow their leader. I can see absolutely no problem at all in educating a 2 year old, a horse that is going to be big. In my opinion I would rather...
Horrific, disgusting but what I can't get my head around is, what was he doing with the cubs? Surely if he had thrown the cub to hounds there would be nothing left of it, the video shows him putting a whole dead cub into the bin. The masters of the SHH should keep a closer eye on their kennels...

Sadly this and more go on there. There have been videos of leg amputations, then they wave the amputated leg in front of the horse and laugh. Disgusting, they then put the poor horse out into the desert because it is in gods hands. Something has got to be done. Oh and they run racing in this...
Poor meat men, they always get a hard time. They deal with the horses that people don't really care about, they provide a service. A service with no strings attached, no false promises, no mention of rescuing, they just sent them to the knackers. If, you care, you will stand by your old, lame...
