I have had my experiences with inept horse trainers. I only wish I had known about them before I sent my horses to them. There is no "better business bureau" when it comes to horse trainers in the USA. Almost anyone can put up a website or sign stating horse training done here and have no credentials what so ever. There is a complete lack of a watch dog on this type of profession.
It is up to us the horse owning people to govern this profession since no one else is. This blog is an attempt to help out our fellow horse owners weed out those horse trainers from hell and hopefully put them out of business by giving them a lack of business. They obviously should not be horse trainers to begin with.
I am looking to you - fellow horse owners - to help our horse owning friends. If you know of a really bad horse trainer please post about him/her under their location post. Please post their name too. It helps no one if you say "someone that owns a Arab breeding farm in (place the city name here) abuses horses". There could be more than one Arab breeding farm in that location and you could target the wrong one by making a statement like that. I also ask that you be specific in telling how the trainer is the trainer from hell. Do they use drugs on the horses? Are they starving the horses? Do they keep the horses tied up all day long? What are they doing?
If you are a trainer that has been accused of being a horse trainer from hell you can simply make a comment here too. I have also enabled anonymous posting so you can post away. Remember that you are helping out your fellow horse owners by posting.
How to locate the horse trainer from hell
Please read this first
If you are looking for a horse trainer and don't know who to avoid then just look them up here. Look under your location (if no location then just suggest one under any of the posts as a comment and I will add it ASAP) for horse trainers from hell and look at the comments. See if the horse trainer you are thinking about taking lessons from or sending your horse to has a tale from hell.
