Any owner who sends a horse to him obivioulsy thinks they are without any other resourses for their horse or they would not be sending it for training with someone who is only about the money not the care and training of a horse.

I have no doubt that he lets it loose on a regular basis with horses and people who cross him. <br /><br />I hope your horse recovers - and applaud your taking the horse's personality into consideration when training.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-44390351631579767772013-07-24T16:53:40.706-05:002013-07-24T16:53:40.706-05:00I signed and put a really lazy over reactive horse...I signed and put a really lazy over reactive horse through his "bootcamp for horses" and was told I would receive a full refund if I wasn't happy when I picked up the horse. This was in week 4 when I wasn't liking what I heard about the progress of the horse. Well he's been home about 6 months and I still can't train him due to a L shoulder tear. Anyway, the phone call from CA after I expressed my dissatisfaction with the results would have been rated R except the phone could barely handle the screaming rage coming out of his mouth. I still use his method religously without any blood or girty gall. I've trained over a couple dozed with his method and where he and I differ immensely is taking the horses personality into consideration. You can easily confuse disrespect with confusion unless you know the horse. It DOES matter which of them the horse is feeling and the trainer needs to adapt to either situation. I go out for every lesson with a plan. The horse tells me if I'm sticking to the plan or if I need to adapt my plans to fit the need of the horse. Personally I believe he hates horses because he's dependent on them for his multi $M livelyhood. Know this, he has a horrible temper and any patience he shows in video is momentary at best.JP3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31257856.post-67487405834578402922013-05-04T23:03:21.301-05:002013-05-04T23:03:21.301-05:00Training or abuse?

It's about making money quickly and so what if your horse gets the worst of it. As I said in the last post, I've never liked this guy or his training methods. It's hard to believe how many people hire him to "train" their horses and pay to go to clinics.
