Sv: Varför?
Om det tidigare, det 2006. Winbledon hette hästen jag tänkte på, har för mig den fick avlivas.
Sen, hur hårt måste man slå för att slita sönder ett hästöra?

Martrydom in Training?
Sharp spurs rammed heedlessly into flanks, blows to the body and head, spur marks all around the eyes (!!) of the horses- witnesses were horrified by what witnesses said in a Ploen court about dressage rider Christine W. (59) and her training methods. She worked at a stable in Kreis Ploen until late summer 2006.
The professional rider is accused of severe abuse of several horses in training. The accusations of animal cruelty concern six instances on 11th and 12th July as well as on the 5th of August 2006. She allegedly inflicted significant pain from her roughness as well as significant longer term suffering.
She was accused by other residents of the stable, who spoke out along with two animal caretakers, an assistant chef, and a gardner. The tall, slender woman confidently entered the court with two defenders. She wants to defends herself, but she appears casual. "I can't explain the accusations," she says. "I can't understand." She assuredly shakes her long blonde hair. "I love my horses."
She allegedly
beat one mare about the head with a whip, such that one ear ripped. The horse allegedly had welts on her whole body. Apparently it was worse for the chestnut "Wimbledon". According to accusations
he was treated brutally for four hours one day: as he was extremely restrained -his head pulled to his chest by drawreins- his rider allegedly spurred him extroardinarily brutally with sharply pointed spurs.
Finally, she tied him in a corner. According to the accusation, an animal caretaker was supposed to beat him in the belly upon command.
According to the young woman, the trainer justified the abuse by saying,
"This pig doesn't want to bend, it's his own fault. I'll break him today yet." The young woman reports that the abuses continued the next day, when the horse was already lame. Wimbledon, who was brought into the animal hospital the following evening, was bleeding from his mouth and flanks immediately after the training.
"All the horses got similar treatment, it was totally routine. The horses had no idea what to do, either in the barn or in the ring," states one witness. Another witness maintains that the trainer tied down all the horses while training so much that "they had no chance to still go forward."
There are pictures in court documents of Wimbledon's significant injuries to his head and body, that caretakers allegedly took secretly immediately after the training. When the accused was supposed to explain the injuries, she faltered. She finds innocent explanations for some injuries, but for others she just shakes her head. She even has to search for an explanation
upon sight of the bridle which is broken in two places. "Well, they will bite the chain sometimes, when they get bored."
The trial will occur Monday, Aug 27 at 10 o clock in court in Ploen.
