Andrew McConnon horse abuse

[BrownDerby]

You are correct. He did not punch the horse in the video. He whipped the living shite out of it.

@Wick_McConnon

What is your name, and from where are you posting? Who has verified that these whip marks were taken of a horse under Andrew’s care? As for the picture allegedly taken of Eddie after he had allegedly been manacled in such a fashion after allegedly two hours, who took that picture, and when and where was it taken? Here I go down the rabbit hole…

I think this ‘rabbit hole’ you are speaking of is called incredulous

If you QFP using the quote function on here, it’ll disappear if he edits the original post. Best to copy/paste in and wrap it using the quote icon in the editor.

[Wick_McConnon]

Is “incredulous” your answer to the provenance of the picture?

[Whoaovergo]

Thanks! Learn something new every day.

[Wick_McConnon]

Sorry, new to this. What does QFP mean?

@Wick_McConnon

He did not punch the horse. Pause it and take another look.

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.

[Whoaovergo]

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.

I have not yet spoken with my son about the brief videos that were posted.

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

[FrittSkritt]

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.

@Wick_McConnon

I’m Andrew’s father, Thomas Bostwick McConnon of Westmoreland, NH. I have not yet spoken with my son about the brief videos that were posted.

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.

[Whoaovergo]

He looked it up though!

[peedin]

And he managed to know the difference between fazed and phased.

[Wick_McConnon]

Whale is also a verb for the action of hitting something (such as that gambling table, or a punching bag) forcefully and repeatedly.

[Whoaovergo]

…so what your son did to those horses?

[Wick_McConnon]

Looked it up, and whale is in fact correct.

[Whoaovergo]

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.

[Demerara_Stables]

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

[skydy]

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.
