I hear this horse was killed in a horse trailer just before lasix last week. From what im told the ohio commission held a hearing and they got the big broom out and swept it under the rug? Is this true? Is it because its Jeff Smith? Name shouldn't fucking matter.. I understand this happens. Does not make it right and dismissable. Complete bull

Lots of rumors of course. But the horse died from afib as a result of “stall training” requested by Jeff Smith. So basically shocked with a device in its stall which is common in the Heather France barn they say. Jeff down as trainer but sent to them for this torture. Might explain her high ranking in trainer stats at SD.

This sounds disturbing.....
What exactly is "stall training"

I heard a groom might have given the horse some kind of injection some time before it died. My source does back up the shock therapy too. I guess the horse was cremated asap because they were so heartbroken the horse died and did not want its body to sit in a stall.

I am reading all the responses from "Plopsters" on here trying to understand if a crime was committed in this incident. Someone please explain the rationale of "shocking" a horse. I had 4 over 35 years ago and never heard of this.
