I personally witnessed so much abuse of TWH and saddlebreds in Georgia and Tennessee as a teen that it just made me ill. I even quit a Twh trainer up here a few years ago due to her practice of the "trimmed short and ridden on rocks " which she felt was "acceptable training methods". SICK. SICK. SICK!!! Placerville CA

Unless they eliminate Performance completely, it's just a matter of the level of abuse from high to higher. There is no way to show Performance without gross abuse. None. They are scapegoating this trainer to take the focus off the core issue, which is that the TWHBEA is funded by those showing in performance divisions. Which means it won't go away. Rotten to the core, that's the problem.
