Tennessee Walking Horse Soring Issue *Update post 1*

DesJarlas’s character may be old news to many but all i knew about him is that he had recently become a mouthpiece for THWNC. He fits in with that crowd pretty good, doesnt he ?

“Sore Lick” is a very deserved and descriptive term.[/QUOTE]

Yep, birds of a feather! What a piece of work!

I’ve heard Ted Bundy was quite charming as well[/QUOTE]

Uh, huh.

The transcript has been verified by three, count 'em THREE, “anonymous sources.” :eek:

Maybe it’s true and maybe it’s whole cloth fraud. In any event I’m not impressed by “anonymous sources.” One, three, or a hundred and three.

The Tennessean and Huffington Post are both quoting the same document; any honest and fair person would question the document.

Get me the tape from which the transcript was prepared and we can have a much more honest and intelligent discussion.

It is believed Ted Bundy brutally raped and murdered over 100 women.

He(bundy) also lied,lead people to believe what he did was ok. as do the Big Lick trainers,some fall for it like the owners of the abused TWHs,other just turn and look the other way so they can win

I think aarpaso means that Ted Bundy was considered handsome and charismatic. He used those traits to lure women to kill them.

well sunridge1,did you by chance ever see Mr.Bundy,He could charm a snake out of the basket.

just as the BL trainers have charmed the TWH show owners to WIN WIN WIN that WGC

I actually bought a Heritage TWH since I planned on using it up in the mountains for Search and Rescue work here in the mountains of Colorado. The only thing I really knew about TWH for years was the horrible Big Lick horses, padded shoes and soring. I was extremely lucky to actually ride one in western tack and keg shoes. For trail riding, you just cannot beat the ground covering smooth stride!

Unfortunately my SAR days are over, but I now own two TWH! They are smart, gentle, easy to train and ride. Mine are ridden barefoot except for the times I do ride in the mountains and then I place Easy Boots on their front feet only. Both are five years old and have been used for driving cattle, extreme trail riding, a short endurance ride (15 miles) and even jumping. Yup, the Heritage TWH are the way to go for versatility and comfort.

Annelabs, welcome you are so right thats the best TWH to ride.the foundation stock of the TWH.they sure have the versatility, comfort and kindness you want in a good horse partner.

Welcome Annelabs!

To overplay the paciness of the ‘average TWH’ is to throw out a lot of really nice horses. I have a grandson of Pusher and Coins Hard Cash that is the smartest, most surefooted, brave, and kind horse anyone could ask for eight days a week. He has nice gaits but more importantly for me- an amazing brain and willingness to try, all day long.

I get the desire to suggest all ‘high bred’ TWHs are pacy trash, but dang that is unfair to the animal standing in front of you.

The McCurdy’s are a spin off of the TWH, reputed to have purer gaits, or at least you’d think so. They are based not 80 miles south of me. Almost every one I’ve met is a pacey SOB, and I do mean pacey.

Evaluate the horse, not the label.

Off my soapbox.

Nonsense…100 women…not even near and absolutely no evidence to even suggest that.

I interviewed the man on numerous occasions. That was NEVER a figure brought up by interviewing psychiatrists, psychologists or anyone else.

But then the truth is never as interesting

Really,Truth Oh Please,go wash your Tin foil hat. the comment was it is believed NOT that it is. READ!

I for ONE believe that NO ONE will ever KNOW how many humans Ted Bundy killed, any more than we will KNOW how many WALKING HORSES have cried in Pain due to SORING and Other ABUSES by BUNDY type TRAINERS.

JMHO

by the way Thank God for SPARKY

Same old Fairfax, always takes up for those on the wrong side of the law! He has an interesting small circle of friends, seems to fit right in with them too!

Ok - I will bite - but I am not sure I am ready for the answer…

Fairfax - in what capacity were you when you came tp speak with Ted Bundy?

Who cares?

The comment that brought up Bundy was stupid from the get-go.
