Jackie McConnell the “Trainer”

Jackie McConnell the “Trainer”

Jackie McConnell has been known for his very precise training that wins many ribbons each year, but do you really know what happens at those training? Cruelty and pain happens, that is what occurs; this is just devastating news to hear, and also that it has been going on for so long now. It is just horrific to think what those horses must’ve been going through, so innocent and vulnerable to what the trainers would do. They would add all sorts of chemicals and foreign substances on their legs and they let it seep into their skin and make them walk and cause them pain which results in the “walking” that they produce. But to think of all the pain they put the horses through just so that they get back on their feet to walk again, and to obey commands such as staying still. Just plain out wrong. Jackie McConnell has a court hearing for his abuse to the animals, and had NO remorse
