Sorry, new to this. What does QFP mean?
Bless your heart. You know nothing of riding yet you jump in to a forum that has many riders with very impressive CV’s to defend your adult kiddo who believe me, knows that there is no excuse for his behavior.

You can deflect all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that there are multiple videos of your son abusing horses, including beating one in the face with a crop.

Mr. McConnon, perhaps you should speak to your son. Did you know he has lost almost all his sponsorships?

This vaguely reminds me of the Brock Turner case (not saying this is the same level of criminality or to even compare the two people, just in case anyone wants to insinuate) where the father was whining to the court that his son’s life had been terrible since the conviction and he couldn’t even enjoy steak anymore.

McConnon senior, the correct word is wail, not whale.

Yes. You know I’m having a difficult time believing that “Dad” hasn’t yet spoken to son about this, but has found his way to COTH and is demanding names from longtime users here.

He looked it up though!

And he managed to know the difference between fazed and phased.
Whale is also a verb for the action of hitting something (such as that gambling table, or a punching bag) forcefully and repeatedly.
…so what your son did to those horses?

Looked it up, and whale is in fact correct.

Glad we agree that your son “forcefully and repeatedly” struck multiple horses on different occasions.
I feel like we have made progress! Admitting is the first step, I hope Andrew is honest with himself as well and can take steps to work on his anger issues.

Sir, this is not going to go the way you think it’s going to go. You’re about to get wrecked.

Let’s get mired in the minutia Thomas Bostwick McConnon, ya? Anything to take away from Andrew McConnon’s hitting his horse in the face and causing it to spin in fright.
Horse people don’t hit horses in the head when they don’t jump or steer as they’d like them to, but of course you wouldn’t know that right? Because all you know about horses is “heels down” and you don’t understand that terminology.

Believe what you want, I have not spoken with him. As far as I know he’s in England and I’m in New Hampshire. Another son told me of this thread. I’m not demanding anything. I think it’s too easy hiding behind these pseudonyms to posit inuendo and hearsay without knowing all of the facts, so I’m just encouraging everyone to identify themselves and stand up for what they’re saying.
Shades of Inigo Montoya…?

I understand your hesitancy since you are new here.
I also understand that you have no idea about the the CV’s of people on this forum.
This isn’t You Tube, and many people new to these forums have made the same mistake, by being snotty and not having any idea to whom they are speaking with.
It would help if you knew anything about horses, then you might have an idea about the responses to your posts. You aren’t the first to come here denigrating people that know much more than you, and I’m sure you won’t be the last.
