There is nothing he could say that would make me care about it.

It’s not always about spinning the dial all the way round to positive. Many times it’s about reducing the negative.
Either way though, that ship sailed. I was about to say it sailed when he didn’t immediately issue a statement, but given the multiple incidents over multiple years thing, I’m going to say that ship never even got built.

I agree. What is there to say when multiple videos and pictures are worth thousands of words each? No manner of statement or apology could condone or justify this behaviour.
I do wonder if his owner(s) will keep their horses with him now that he’s suspended. Insane that he even has horses or owner(s) that support him after the videos came out.

It causes hypersensitivity, especially when used with topicals intended to exacerbate sensitivity. If a horse is more afraid of pain from knocking a poll, that’s a performance advantage gained through the horse’s physical suffering.

Is this the same person who worked for Denny Emerson at Tamarack for many years?
This video has been around for a bit. Seems like person that made the video was taking lessons, and objected to a number of things, including wearing cribbing collars.

What video are you talking about? The one of him beating horses across the side of the head?
Oh, heavens no!!! The video that @Baybaybay765 posted. Whatever happens to Andrew is certainly just desserts, in my book! No excuses for him at all

Yes. She was dating/engaged to his son, if I’m not mistaken.
Shame, as she is a stunning rider.
Where is the Andrew video on this YouTube clip?
There isn’t one!! This is a bit of a deflection to another rider.
Ah.

No, but it shows he isn’t a man of his word also.
this rider who used to work for Denny Emerson is now teaching kids in the Tampa area and seemingly frustrated where her riding career went. She took it out on that pony which was for sale for a while in the Ocala area but it was always stopping XC. Now you know why, it had a stifle issue.

Andrew was out schooling one horse cross country at a public schooling venue today, all by himself, no groundsperson, and was back to riding like an asshole (last time I saw him out a couple of months ago, he was on his best behavior and was basically unrecognizable). I didn’t see any major fights or the horse flying sideways, but it was his usual rough and ugly riding, very heavy handed.

Interesting. Was this at CHP?
Probably not. CHP only does schooling days before each War Horse event. I think CHP has banned him. it was probably one of the local barns who have cross country fences.
