A 27-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a three-month investigation into abusive training
practices.
Mid-Hudson News reported on Friday, October 15 that Dean Eckley of Loda, Illinois has been charged with animal cruelty for allegedly overdriving a horse he was training at the Mount Hope Training Facility.
The report indicates that Eckley overdrove the horse and crashed it into a barn door. The report also states that he proceeded to strike the horse unmercifully until it 'pled while it was unable to get up.'
NYSRWB Yanks Eckley's License
On Monday, October 18, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board announced that it had summarily suspended the occupational license of Dean Eckley, an owner/trainer that has been charged with beating a horse in Orange County, New York.
Eckley, 27, of Loda, Illinois, was arrested on October 8 by the Mount Hope Police Department in Orange County on a charge of cruelty to animals after he allegedly drove a horse into a barn door at Mount Hope Training Facility and then whipped the horse.
After learning of the alleged incident, the NYSRWB took swift action to summarily suspend Eckley’s owner/driver license which had allowed him to compete in harness racing in New York.
The board’s action led to the scratching of three Eckley-trained horses that had been entered to race at Yonkers Raceway on Monday, October 18, 2010, said NYSRWB Chairman John D. Sabini. Mr. Eckley has also trained horses that have competed at Saratoga Raceway and Monticello Raceway.
“This board has zero tolerance for equine abuse or animal cruelty,” Sabini said. “We showed that when we removed prominent trainer Ernest Paragallo from thoroughbred racing and we showed it again today by taking immediate action against Mr. Eckley.”
Chairman Sabini thanked the Hudson Valley Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Mount Hope Police Department and all those who cooperated with the investigation leading to the arrest.
