Re: Use of restraint [My Broken Jaw & Arabian Stereotypes]

That is unfortunatly too true. When my 4 yo went to the trainer to be
saddlebroke the trainer used an ear twitch on him without me knowing. This
happened a few months ago and I still can barely get near the ear. He used
to love having me scratch around the base of his ears.
