Re: RC: Horse Abuse

[Nancy DuPont <Htrails@Earthlink.net>]

Anything for the blue! that is what someone said relating to a western
trainer who would go to lengths to win.  Such as hanging the horses neck up
in the air in the stall all night long so the muscles would be so weary in
the morning the horse would keep its head way low as he shuffle-jogged in
the western pleasure class. You know, the judges like those heads WAY DOWN!
One trainer did that and when he took the horse down in the morning, it had
no muscle to hold its neck up and it broke its neck....anything for the
blue.  And--WHO GAVE THE JUDGE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE THIS IS THE WAY A
HORSE SHOULD LOOK IN WESTERN PLEASURE?????
