Meanest Trainer Ever?

[Sightseek]

I'm getting "page not found" what did it say?

Here's a video... They just keep showing it over and over though.

I unfortunately know a couple trainers that do this same thing.

Someone needs to strike him in the head with a sack of potatoes.

Unless you been on a race horse that was bolting it's tough to comment. I don't use a whip on a horse's face as a practice but the tail swishing/ear pinning/erratic action combined with an outrider appearing to try to herd him gives me the impression that the horse bolting and ignoring all rider cues.
I don't condone it but sometimes you have to get the d@amed horse back under control.
I was on a horse that bolted while out in the field. He was going sideways FAST, toward and 6-10 foot deep ditch filled with rocks and gravel. I smacked him in the head with the reins to get his attention because nothing was working.

But David Carroll galloped Easy Goer!

I have known David Carroll for a very long time. He is not someone that would just hall off and hit a horse for no reason. He is an excellent horseman and a great person. If you have never put yourself in a situation that dangerous you have no idea of the danger he was in. I am sure he just didn't find it amusing to have to do what he did.

Agree and this is certain to be blown up by the media.

Absolutely that horse was trying to get out
