Sorry. Link won’t work. Video doing the rounds showing meadow stables. Sam. With a horse strapped down in the stable as punishment. Unfortunately I can’t share it
no idea who meadow stables are but that is hideous.
There's multiple pages like that sadly.you don't want to. well known for selling broken horses to unsuspecting novices. Possibly the worst rep for a dealer in the country. They have a fb page, meadow stables, the buyers stories.
Stupid, Stupid woman, does she honestly think that the horse is going to associate this abhorrent treatment with barging a gate or whatever it is meant to have done. The poor boy will have horrendously aching muscles. How can she be so thick and cruel.
I hate to say it but I had a youth training scheme with a top, well though of trainer of show horses. She did this regularly to her show horses to get them to develop top line. I only lasted a week. I hated it and knew it was so wrong but lots of the other grooms just though it was the norm.
How any--one can call her methods 'old school' I really don't know. I certainly wouldn't buy a horse from a trollop with those nails.
in what way? in that it didn't used to happen a lot more, or that it still happens in showing yards now so isn't 'old'?
In that tieing a horse down overnight as a punishment for jumping/barging into the wrong field is not the same as some showing/dressage people using side-reins for an hour or so at a time to develop muscle.
