Craig Schmersal - come on, Craig, SUE ME TOO
UPDATE, 2022:
This post is getting some hits this week, so just in case you’d like to contact or boycott his sponsors, here’s the updated list from his website:
Craig, you're an idiot. That's all I have to say. I wish I could be there to video it when karma catches up to you.
Watch the video. Is this someone you'd pay to train your horse? Can you say psychological damage? And although it IS that for the horses he rides, I'm talking about the human. Damaged goods. Ditto for the ring stewards with their heads turned down.
Help spread this across the internet. Let's see if his attorney wants to sue ALL OF US. Wouldn't you just love to show up in court and testify against this creep?
Sorry, folks. I am still mad as hell about the BLM and this came onto my radar a few minutes ago. Not in a very nice mood right now.
Here are his sponsors, from his website. Join me in giving them an earful:
Anderson Bean Boot Company
Bloomer Trailers
Bob's Custom Saddles
Cinch Jeans
Spalding Fly Predators (sob! I have written them and will wait for a reply - but if they sponsor this man I will have to find a new source for one of my favorite products)
Hyalogic (if you use hylaronic acid - HA - and want an alternative to this company go to Pure Bulk and buy the pure HA powder with instructions to make your own gel - it works - it's pure - and it is way less expensive!)
Kiser Dragmaster
Alltech Horse Feed Supplements
Professional's Choice
Pro Panel Horse Feeders
Purina Mills
Rios of Mercedes Cowboy Boots
Western Hauler Trucks
join the Blog Tour de Troops - it started today!
November Hill Press will be part of tomorrow's tour - for each comment you leave on each stop on the blog tour, you get a free e-book from that author, a troop gets a free e-book and both you AND a troop get entered in a contest for free Kindles!
GO HERE to start the tour - but do come by November Hill tomorrow and say hello to get your copy of claire-obscure.

wild mustangs, donkeys, and the BLM
I'm not sure what we can do to change what happens in this video. Madeleine Pickens is asking Oprah to do a show to raise awareness and force the BLM to stop these practices and to release the horses and donkeys from holding pens back to the range where they were brutally and heartlessly herded by helicopter.
Tonight while reading my Facebook feed I've burst into tears (wailing tears) at a series of photographs of a rescue mare (not a mustang) that is now in safe hands. Then I came across this video. I watched it once, and I can't watch it again. But every one of us who love horses and donkeys, each of us who know how special these animals are, and how much they matter in our world, need to see this just one time, and get one other person to watch it just one time - so that one by one and two by two, we can create a group of people big enough and intent enough to figure out a way to stop this.
The idea that one cent of the money I pay in taxes is supporting this program makes me ill. If anyone has more information on what we can do to help change this, please post it in the comment section. I am beyond appalled. I've seen some of what they've done in the past, and I've signed petitions and sent emails. There has to be a way to do more.
