I would Just like too make a statement!! There has been a lot of publicity over a argument over another professional in the same Job as me.
Firstly I respect any in the same Job as me or willing to save a horses life!. I am always supporting anyone that is trying too help a horse or save a horses life. I am always there too offer too help if they cannot do it!!
After everyone has had there say??.......I have been brought up too do the best by the horse!! If a vet said too you your horse is in pain?? Would you want too end the suffering or would you let the horse carry on in pain too do a photo shoot??? Put platts in keep the horse alive?? I am so upset how they can dress up such a bad situation?? And not let him go and do the best by him.
Some horses can lock there legs and sleep and some get down and sleep!! So how do you know that poor horse isn’t standing in a field legs locked in pain?? If your are a professional or not we all love horses!!
Would you keep the horse alive in pain?? So please tell me she has made the right decisions on this horse now!! Its the only reason i spoke up because this is not the best for this horse!!. I don’t care about what people think, what i lose, how unprofessional i sound but i will risk it all have my say too do the best by the horse!!
do you see why?? I got upset and had my say?? What person thats loves horses would make the end of a horses life longer too do a photo shoot and keep the horse in pain??
Sorry if I offended anyone in my comments, but when it comes too horses do the best!! By the horse if it means ending the horses life!! Don’t keep the horse alive, put platts make him suffer more for a photo shoot!!
His response on his page is laughable
Not quite what he said originally. Hes deleting comments faster than people can type, but very few people are interested in his rant, so hopefully there's a few horses he wont get his hands on now.
There was a video a while ago of him on a young horse, chestnut if I remember rightly - turning itself inside out on a concrete yard whilst he clung on. That’s not normal horse behaviour and needs investigating rather than some limpet trick rider sticking to it till it gives in.
I do think that there is a place for an old fashioned work rider for naughty horses, and that often horses get into an unhelpful pattern that can quickly be stopped. Sometimes owners have simply trained (unintentionally) these habits in. Up thread I too felt I would give him the benefit of the doubt.
But now? No. Once a horse has been PTS it is sacrosanct that you don't criticise.
Besides, it is nonsensical, the horse was apparently fine for some bish bash bosh, but not fine to be plaited up for a photo? Eh?
I suspect he was not in his best, thinking, frame of mind when he wrote that, but it was unforgivable towards the owner. I think he believes all his own press.
I’ve also posted this screen shot on the other JJ thread. H&H article from 16/4/20. This is the guy.

I will never understand why H&H featured him
What 'in the wrong' shouldn't people be pulled up on?
Given for example Sandra from Whispering Willows has just crawled back out the wood work?
Threads like this make me really sad tbf. Whether someone’s in the wrong or not. I don’t think our lesson from Caroline flack lasted very long at all.
yup, she's been posting on horses for sale posts apparently it got shared to the hho fb page.Oh God, has she?

Normally I would agree with you, but unfortunately this weekend this man has really done himself no favours. Mr Johnson didn’t think about the impact his words could have when he responded to a young girl on FB, who was having a horse put to sleep after discovering it had severe arthritis of its coffin joint, basically telling her she was disgusting for digging too deep to find a problem with it and not just riding it through the pain. The stuff he said about her was frankly vile. The girl in question has posted today that she has had a dreadful year with several losses. What if Mr Johnson’s comments had been the ones to push her over the edge?
According to her page, the horse was terrified of vets so went to SS so she could work with him in order to allow vet examination. I don’t think there is anything wrong with anything she or owner has done.I know that horse (if we are thinking of the same one), the behaviour reverted within days of ‘rehab’ concluding.
As for the SS/JJ debacle... Hideous. The horse shouldn’t have got that far imho, the checks should have been done before even sending it away, the arguing over the then unavoidable but very fair, peaceful and logical ending of its life once you know that’s the only option, is beyond revolting.
Anyone who has lost a horse (or any animal) knows it is a decision not taken lightly.
