The video below is of a man, Trent Montage, who flew his hot air balloon 3,000 mile to raise the awareness of horse abuse in the USA. The man had a mission. The f*** interviewers in the video don't care and don't have a clue. You talk about the worse interview this man could have ever gotten. I wonder what we need to do to make the media more aware that they should get rid of TV show hosts like these 2 idiots?
Update on the Cleve Wells case
The district attorney in Johnson County in Texas is now involved with the horse abuse case. Once the shit hit the internet fan all hell has broken wide open for mister Wells. At first he was prepared to make a public statement of his side of the story but I guess someone told him to keep his trap shut - so he did. You can find out more about it at Go Horse show.com Don't forget to read the comments following the article if you have the time. Lots of interesting stuff on there.
Now you need to see what is being said about this on the horse forums, but the forums are also mentioning other major trainers that do the same thing. What ticks me off is the fact they are not naming names. What are those people afraid of? If they know first hand of abuse why are they not doing anything about it? Silence is what these abusive horse trainers thrive on. Ok here is the link to the forum thread.

The Cleve Wells saga
If you have not heard the horse beating saga of BMT Cleve Wells (BMT: big name trainer) then take at look at what the Fugly blog stirred up here. Cleve Wells is a very well know trainer in the AQHA world and he is being accused of major horse abuse. This is not the first time I have heard about him and his little bag of tricks. I think it was almost 20 years ago when the whispers started in the horse training world about his methods. He also has a "kit" that he sells to get your horse started and he claims that " If this package of equipment won't help you train your horse, then it is not worth training". How's that for a so called horse trainer to say? Don't believe me, then go here to see if for yourself and take note, there are no regular bits in his "kit". Not one smooth straight bit in the bunch. It is a bag of torturer devices aimed at inducing pain until an animal submits to the will and strong hands of it's abuser. Oh, and don't forget the price tag of $680+
