Re: [RC] Sticking Em with a horsewhoe nail - Tracy Cann
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.
