I too want this post to remain , what i dont want is abuse when i have simply asked two questions (not probed) i have stated quite clearly i do not condone ill treatment of any animal and also while im at it i for one would like to see this whole situation brought out in a court
 
Regarding the website and any other website these people make, is there a way that the people who provide the website for them could be contacted to shut them down? Surely there must be a company who provides the 'space' on the internet for them and they wouldn't want to be associated with this type of person, surely? (I'm clueless about the internet - but that's probably apparent from this post!)

There are hundreds of hosting companies out there - and I'd think you'd have a hard time persuading whichever is hosting theirs to close it down, tbh.

I hope these people decide to leave the horse business completely. Why work with horses if you hate them? Please, if you're reading this, go and do something else with your lives. Horses don't EVER deserve that kind of treatment. Finding it funny makes it even worse. :( :( :(

Popsdosh - this must have been a huge shock and a horrible experience for you. Hope alls well that ends wells and the little horse finds a safe home. I'll PM you about it in a bit.

A public forum where you cant have an opinion without being vilified. Shakes head.

Apparently you were only asking two questions (according to you) so what opinion were you expressing??

I've been following this thread and haven't commented thus far. I just wanted to say well done to everyone and I'm so glad Tic Tok is back in a safe place :D

But you didn’t need to ask the questions. The first to do with why he was there in the first place was answered by the original owner earlier in the thread.
The second wasn’t relevant to the situation, to be honest neither was the first.
While you say that you are not probing there is a time and a place for such question and this is probably not it, as has also been said it isn’t really anyone’s business. It doesn’t matter why the horse was there, he was and was subjected to inexcusable abuse.

I have been keeping an eye on this and am immensely pleased he is home safe,
 
Excessive use of the whip is shocking in all circumstances , however it could be argued on the basis of this video in a court enviroment that it was being used as a corrective aid , unlike our racing friends who whip there horses even when they are doing the right thing and giving everything that have got.

I cant imagine this 51 seconds of video tells us the full story guys , but regardless he went too far.

A court would have a hard time accepting that a whip was being used as a corrective aid when the horse wasn't actually doing anything to need correcting.

And as someone who is involved in law and putting cases before courts, my barrister and I would be pitching our case exactly like that if we had one like this :)

Are you in any way serious??
 
In racing, same as showjumping or any other sport [remember the show jumper last year who basted his horse in his showjumping round after a refusal? Same response to that as this has], there are rules for how many times it actually comes in contact with the horse, if I remember correctly?

I'm not debating the same goes on behind closed doors in other parts of equestrian life, but it's all as bad as each other regardless who's doing it...in this instance, they have just been silly enough to post it publicly on their business account for all to see. The amount of time shown is irrelevant, to me anyway.
I agree, completely too far and shouldn't have been pushed to that to start with, whether it's a 'one off' or not for them. As far as then posting it, with laughter in the background.....Well, I'm dumbfounded by it all frankly.

Interesting reading on my FB with horsey friends who live and stable near by to said video, but I won't post anymore....
 
Has anyone looked at their twitter accounts?

I don't want to post their names in case they are legitimate and un related, but if you are on twitter it may be worth a look?
