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

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.
