One girl and her friend ruined training on two horses you’ve been working on for a while?
Family friend’s daughter Emily came over with her friend and went to the barn while I was inside working on homework…they took out Shiraz(space issues and riding issues) and BEamer(Emily horse)
Anyway Beamer is Emily’s horses and he is an OTTB.He was raced several times and still loves to run run run. She sent him to me to help calm him down a bit and put his energy to good use. HE is being a Barrel Horse right now.(hes good too) Shiraz,hates people in his space and everyone is scared to ride him).
Okay,so they took Shiraz saddled him and then took him into the pasture,and whipped the **** out of him! He was coated in a thick layer of sweat when I realized they were at the barn and went over.
Beamer was stuck in a tiny saddle that pinches his back. THey ran him to death and he was trembling out of fear as Emily doesnt know how to handle ANY horse and beats him whenhe makes a mistake.
Now I cant touch them they are scared to death.They lash out at me if I try to work them on the ground. Shiraz bit me,Beamer has struck at me. They are being very aggressive. Jt is out in the pasture with them right now and they are perfectly fine.
Anyway my question is…what would you do?Do you think they’ll come around? Thanks a Bunch

I want to smack both of them upside the head.
Do yourself a favour and return her horse. And whack her upside the head.
Tell her what an idiot she is and she doesn’t deserve a horse.
And then whack her upside the head again.
Stupid girls are ******* idiots.
There are only so many times horses can be abused like this before shiz hits the fan and you’ll be working with unwilling duds.
She shouldn’t own a horse. Tell her that. Tell her parents that. And then whack them all upside the head.
Beamer will eventually crack under the tyranny of Emily and she will likely be seriously injured.
And then you will no longer need to whack her upside the head.
Tell your parents what happened.
Send Beamer right back to Emily’s barn, if she doesn’t have one call up her parents and tell them to get the horse the hell off your property. (If your parents will allow you to do so).
I’m unclear on this so I’m guessing Shiraz is your’s. If so ask your parent’s to rule Emily and her friend off the farm.
OMG the same thing happened to one of the horse at my stable except not so extreme. and i didnt do anything about it. YET. so i cant tell you or id be a hypocrite but ill tell you what im going to do. me and my friend are going to basically break it to her slow and just tell her and have our trainer back us up on it because it is a serious matter.
Sue them.
Okay, I have no idea if you could sue them, but I don’t think you should keep training the horses. Just get paid for the work you did.
I think Emily should have her riding privileges revoked after being run into the ground and beaten with a crop.
But that’s just me.
tell me if i’ve got this wrong… you’re training these horses for these bratty girls?
if that’s the case i’d speak to them and say how disgusting their behavior is and that you refuse to put your time, effort and care into these animals if they are going to be returned and beaten and wound up and ruined.
they sound like they need a serious smack. they’re putting you in an awful situation. but yeah, that’s what i’d do and if they still continue to treat their horses that way whether you carry on helping them or not, report them to the yard owner or some other higher authority.
I agree with PPF in that if two people riding the horses very badly and now you – the ‘trainer’ – cannot get them to behave on the ground then they were not trained in the first place.
Any decent trainer soon gains a horse’s trust and respect. If you had this then they would, after a few moments of you handling them, gone back to trusting you and to behave as they were before.
What Donald said…..Beamer goes back to Emily (OFF of your property), and Shiraz (assuming he is yours) stays with you.
Your parents forbid Emily and her friend from ever stepping foot on your property again.
Even with “family friend” it can be done. Parents say “our insurance company just found out we were keeping horses for other people, and have threatened to cancel us, nobody can come on our place and mess with any horses anymore. Sorry, we tried to help you, but it just didn’t work out. All outside horses have to go.”
If one bad experience ruined these horses’ training then they were trained very poorly to begin with.
This would not happen to me, because I don’t associate with people who behave in the manner you described. You are only as good as the company you keep, sleep with the dogs and wake up with the fleas and all those other platitudes.
Anyway, send the horses to trainer. A real trainer that knows how to put a solid foundation on a horse. A foundation that won’t come unraveled after one bad experience because any horse can have something unfortunate happen at any point, be it through the fault of the rider or no fault at all. A horse with good training won’t be ruined by one bad act or one bad experience.
And quit associating with bitchy little brats that act like that. You’ll end up getting labelled as one yourself.
