Jordan was sent to the breakers on the 5/11/2009 and brought home on the 7/1/2010 in that period the breaker had worked
with him on the ground mounting and dismounting with a milk crate from both sides, riding him twice with no problems all the
things consistant with breaking a horse in, unfortunately the horse was injuring himself and going foot sore (no shoes) of
which he spent quite a considerable amount of time recouperating, we made the decision to bring him home and tend to his injuries
and not return. After a month home and being shod we then sent him off to another trainer for futher breaking and education.
WHAT A MISTAKE THAT TURNED OUT TO BE!!
He was there from the 6/2/2010 to the 22/6/2010 of which we were charged 93 days training and 43 days adjistment rates,
the horse came home like a "coat hanger" his breaking and education was consistant with a horse that had only been broken
for 2 to 3 weeks, no mouth, throwing head either to the side or up and down, grabbing the bit and reefing his head down, didnt
now how to move off the leg, couldnt walk or trot a straight line, extremely unbalanced and unsure. We have not at this
stage tried to canter him as he had almost no control with his head and certainly no leg. We could only receive very vague
descriptions of the progress of the horse, when going to the trainers establishment were never shown the horse or offered
to see the horse ridden, we were told we would receive a video of him being ridden some 2 months prior to him returning home
(22/6/2010) we are still waiting on that video.
We have been publicly criticized, slandered and threatened on face book by these trainers and their followers,
of which have never spent any money or had horses in training with these people.
We have been breeding/showing in the western breed for 37 years in both halter and performance with great success producing
multiple National,State and futurity champions we do know how a horse should go after that period of time and it certainly
is not the way he is going at present.
All documentation, receipts of accounts, and pics of the horse at previous trainers and pics of horse on return from
the current trainers can be supplied to anyone that feels the need of proof, unfortunately in this industry these "so called
professionals" have a "god like" image and feel they can do and say as they please and the client has absolutely "no rebuttle"
