Video of Strider/Shadow

Aww, did we hurt your widdle feewings? You’re a laughingstock all over the internet bulletin boards. Buh-bye.

Dude, having one dog who earned some titles is hardly “domination”. :lol::lol::lol:

Maybe you’re just too modest to mention your multiple OTCh dogs, HITs, Dog World awards, National and World placements, TDI and SAR certifications etc. etc, on multiple dogs (and of multiple breeds) but somehow I think not. :rolleyes:

Your rather, um, unconventional use of the terminology really broadcasts your all-hat-no-cattleness, you know.

[Not that I don’t think it’s swell when anyone puts in the time to earn titles with their dogs, however modest :yes: :), but exaggerating the import of one’s accomplishments is just incredibly lame.]

Well, after getting an email from a good friend with some rather hard advice on ignoring Shadow14, I think I’ll do just that. Welcome to the ignore list Norval. You won’t be seeing any further posts from me here or elsewhere.

As pro![](ised this is just one of many newspaper articles done on Lance

An excerpt from that article

Just some of the ribbons that escaped housecleaning because they were out of site in an old desk that I recently run across. There are more then 50 here

Again some of the plaques that escaped house cleaning because they were on a high shelf in my shop. I did throw boxes and boxes out. What good are they???

A few recognitions I didn’t even know I still had but found them look for the passport.
They are schutzhound 1 and 2, CD and utility and tracking.

I couldn’t find the passport and I will NOT ask my wife when she gets home. I will not upset her by telling her you guys called me a liar.
I am only giving you this because it really bothers me to be called a liar.
You don’t know me, you don’t know my abilities and yet you judge me.
Bye, I will log off as soon as I am sure this is posted and good luck to you all in future endeavors

it’s sad you’re working so hard to justify yourself to strangers on the internet. Evidently your videos underwhelmed others here with your horse-training “skills”.

That’s “Schutzhund”, not “schutzhound”. Spellcheck, dude.

Don’t let the virtual door hit you on your way out.

That’s a nice looking dog, an impressive pile of ribbons and some remarkable achievements.

But what does dog training have to do with knowing how to ride and train horses?

Oh … wait. You fall off at least 6X a year. Never mind.

I do ride with a western bit but I could ride with light string attaching the reins to the bit and won’t break it???

Let’s see it.

Where IS Jazzrider to tell you all to behave?

yes he’s a blowhard but you guys are sure getting your rocks off chasing him with a broom, aren’t you?

He SAYS he’s gone. So you’re talking to yourselves.

I’m not really trying to justify anything that’s gone on here (actually kinda bewildered myself with this thread… us trail folk usually aren’t this in-your-face!), but perhaps this is all kind of ‘retaliation’ from all the nasty stuff this guy would post about others and such? I think he’s not very popular around here right now, and this was a golden opprotunity to run 'im outta town, so to speak. :lol:

Not really my style personally, but just trying to rationalize the flamefest going on at the moment. Didn’t know you folks had it in you. :o

It’s not so much a flamefest as it was some guy posting a video of an unbroken baby with a yahoo cowboy on his back, rearing and nearly falling down and being very clearly terrified and endangering everyone around him, and then the rider saying this is how you break a horse. And its about all the posts about jabbing with spurs and knocking a horse down a few notches with a big bit, and running them through fences and the horse falling down 6 times a year during normal riding and making them panic in the deep water to teach them how to swim, and going down on the ice because you have to get your daily 10 mile run in even though your trails are covered in glare ice…etc. After a while it’s just rip 'em up cowboy overload.

I feel bad because I always thought Norval was a really nice guy and I enjoyed reading his posts but they’ve gotten weirder and weirder. Lance was certainly a beautiful animal and Norval can be extremely proud of his accomplishments with him. To whoever said something about why Norval has to “prove” anything to anybody - I think he feels this way because at horseshoes.com the guys are adamant about proving who you are and credentials and all that as a stipulation to posting. Norval’s a farrier and posts there too. I can understand Norval’s reasoning.

I know. Shadow is very smart and a quick learner. I often wondered if they tried breaking him and he beat them. He fought me for almost a month, he would accept but the next time it was a fight all over again then suddenly it was over.[/QUOTE]

It takes 2 to fight.

You set the horse up to fail and that’s what he did.

And trust me, I don’t pussy foot around with horses either!

Here I am, drugged, with Laryngitis and an ice pack on my elbow. I was ignoring this thread, because he’s just so tedious and I don’t care if he gets poked at. I do, however, get annoyed when a good thread gets derailed by sniping – but this was his thread, so whatever.

I do hope, A2, that you really have put him on your ignore list. Without you to rile up, he just might get bored and slink back to wherever he came from. But I doubt it. Trolls troll. It’s their nature. :rolleyes:
