    RE: [RC] Break Your Neck Training - Alison Farrin


    Howard, Sylvia did to you EXACTLY what you did to the "horse trainer" lady.  Took your words out of context, made them sound as if you were an awful person for the way you do things and turned you into a monster.  Knowing Sylvia, she was probably trying to make exactly that point, but it went right by you.
     
    FWIW, I read the original lady's post as someone who takes total nut cases and tries to rehab them.  She noted that she set them up in a safe place with heavy duty equipment and let them fight themselves until they either figured it out or died trying.  A horse this unsafe IS only likely to be put down.  She also tried to aid their understanding, by standing safely out of range and tapping them in the butt with a manure fork when they set back as an incentive to move forward.  Think of the manure fork as 1/2 a dozen blunt end spurs, applied in the same manner as a spur.  How is this woman cruel????  She gives the horse every opportunity to figure it out for himself in as safe a situation as she can.  Your words turned her into the monster, not her.

    My goodness, Sylvia, what crawled up your butt and died today?  I question this woman's training methods and now you've decided to label me a horse killer?  Gee, that seems fair.  Don't like the message so let's kill the messenger.
     
    What has happened to you?  First you go after Randy, then Karen, and the "Duck, now me?  Over what?  What, exactly, is your mission in life?  I do believe you're one of the few who has worse people skills than myself.  Good thing we have horses to talk to, huh?  Most people would run away.
     
    I'll tell you what, Sylvia, you bother me so much with your ranting, stone throwing and labeling me a horse killer that, just for you, I think I'll give you an early Christmas Present and sign off Ridecamp for awhile.  With cruel folks like yourself and that "Break Neck" training woman trying to convince us all this is how we deal with problem horses (or, in your case humans) I think I need a break from some of ya'll.
     
    Merry Christmas,
    Howard

    Oh my goodness!!!! I'd have to say I'm with you on this one Howard! Yikes! My
    first instinct was "Is this person for real?" How can this person call
    themselves a 'rescuer'? Rescued from WHAT exactly? Sounds like a great new life


    Oh for Pete's sake.  We're all going with Howard now as the be all and end all in horse training????   This is the same guy who openly admits that he can't rate his horse and doesn't even bother really trying 'cause he LIKES TO GO FAST AND BE SCARED SPITLESS.  Trust me Howard you can kill an Arab just as easy as you can kill a Saddlebred..and giving them a patriotic name doesn't make 'em die any slower.
