Case of the Month involved the questionable training of the client’s horse. The trainers had taken the horse on the road to show, all while knowing the horse had serious lameness issues.
It was apparent to the client that the only reason in bringing the horse along was to help defray the costs of showing incurred by the trainers.
When the client complained, the trainers said that “it was important for the horse to learn what it was like on the road.”
The lesson to be learned is that even if you are not that wise about the horse business make sure your trainers completely explain the reasoning behind their decisions. After all, it’s your money.
In this case, the client finally verified the proper treatment after speaking to the horse’s veterinarian; taking the horse “on the road” was not one of the vet’s recommendations.

Proving again that the truth is stranger than fiction...
I pick out a specific case from the hundreds
that I have worked on in the past years and give you a brief
rendition of the facts and outcome. And, I may cover related topics.
Taking advantage of situations that have occurred to others may lead
you to say things to yourself like, “Boy I’m glad
that didn’t happen to me!” Anyway, for sheer entertainment
value, you’ll like them.
