We shipped him to a better trainer.Even they said you could just feel when he was going to blow up.they had him for five months and the girl who worked with him wanted to buy him.He never came back here. |

| Ship and don't send the papers if they are good bred nor let the killers know what they are bc they will try to pawn them off and someone else will get hurt. |

Location: Tulsa, Ok | We had one that was willing to hurt himself in order to hurt a rider. Fine on the ground, occasionally fine under a saddle. Push him in the slightest and the crazy and fight popped out. He went to a friend (heck of a hand with broncs) at killer price with full disclosure. |

| Sent to the last chance trainer who sent her down the road less than two weeks later. She's now a starvation case less than 5 miles from my house. I regret not sending her to the cats. |

| I would put one like that down, agree that kill pens will lie and sell for profit if they can get better than meat prices. I would not want anyone to get hurt and I hate to see even the mean crazy ones end up starving and getting the hell beat out of them, they are better off being put down.

Yep agreed, and this is why a horse has to EARN being freeze branded with me. I don't want my brand on any dinks. |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Had one that would rear straight up and fall over the second you got on. He only did it every once in a blue moon. I rode him for 6-8 months before he did it with me. That one time was all it took. Saddle horn broke my arm and that broken arm almost cost me my job. I got right back on and made him do the job I needed to do but I sold him that next week.
I sold him in an auction. He had great potential and I was so sad to sell him since he was all around a great hand and could run a decent set of cans, but I got my $600 for him and moved on. |

This is an excellent option! The wild cat preserve will take them and dispose of them and at least they will be used for something. |

| I think it depends on the horse. I have certainly seen my fair share of flat out dangerous horses, however, also seen horses who were just not in the right hands. Whether it be personality conflict or lack of experience. I had a gelding I bought who was just a jerk, he had ruled the roast his whole life and he was a challenge. I felt I had the experience to get him through it but not the desire. He did some pretty outrageous things that I think some might have sent him for. But I spend a few months getting him together the best i could and sold him. Hes challenging still to this day but I think in the right hands, he will be outstanding. |

| We had a pony that way. Out of the blue he bucked my daughter off. He was awful! The lady we bought him from swore to us that he was safe and a great kid horse. We called her after it happened and she knew exactly how dangerous he was. There is a special place in Hell for people that lie like that. Anyway, we sold him for $300 with full disclosure on his problems and bucking habits. He did the same thing to their daughter. It was bad. Then this family sold him to another family we knew without telling them about his history. There are some sorry people in this world!! I agree with putting them down if they are that dangerous. We were going to this pony down, when this family offered to "fix" him. However it didn't work. |
