[RC] [RC] TWH....are then pinfired? - now Arabs whipped in stalls - Debbie Kirchner

I showed Arabs for YEARS as a Kid, graduated in 76, I NEVER used these
tactics...

but I know it is done, and I HATE it, I was so proud of our horses
that they were not treated this way, at least not at home... I have my
suspicion about the trainers though, now that I am an adult... were
they that way then??? Not sure, I was always told our horses were
treated with dignity and shown naturally, but.... ya never really know
the truth when you are a kid....

I even was present when an Arabian Judge used Ginger on her stallion
to take pictures...

I scolded her, Told her in front of all of her employees, that SHE
SHOULD KNOW BETTER, I was there to help clean up horses for
pictures... I told them not to pay me, I cleaned the Stallion out
after his picture shot, Then left...

I am also appalled by the lenght of toe they have on the Arabs now
too... the fact that the horses were not allowed out of the barn, I
also noticed the tails were THIN, not think and full, they just did
not look healthy from this kind of treatment...

all I can say is, "good grief, what happened to showing the Arab as a
natural horse"????
