Re: [RC] Sticking Em with a horsewhoe nail - Chris PausI'm with you Tracy.. egad! chris --- Tracy Cann <EBBYPONY@xxxxxxx> wrote: What!!??? Did I miss something? What kind of retard would do something like that? I find it hard to believe that a horse could actually learn something productive from being stuck with a nail. Maybe he would learn that he should kill his rider but I'm not sure that would be productive. Really, what would he learn besides "my rider is not to be trusted and can hurt me in really weird ways". I know (or knew) a man who put a shock collar type thing on his horse, one on either side of the horse's neck down low. When the horse would shy one way or not turn fast enough the other he would push a button and the horse would be shocked on that side of the neck. The guy did this with one horse for years and though I don't think the horse learned anything besides his owner was a moron, at least he didn't kill the guy. The next horse the man tried this "training" method on flipped out one day, literally, landed on the guy and killed him. Maybe I'm evil but I think the man got what he deserved. Sorry for the vent. I'm just retraining a horse that someone did stuff like this to and it ticks me off.
