Summary on the Tennessee walking horse trainers

What I think about what I saw today of the trainers of the walking horse tournaments is that they are cruel people making horses suffer just so they can get a dumb ribbon or metal, the ribbons are not even important why will they be rewarding such a person if they know that that is how they train them with pain. Jackie McConnell was one of the trainers that trained his horse with abuse and hatred, he would beat the horse with a stick and if the horse didn't get back up then he would start wiping him until he gets back up to his feet, also this man has the nerve to burn the horse with a cigarette if he wouldn't stay still. He is a bad man and is now suffering the consequences for his actions by going to court and being sentence to being guilty. Also when they were interviewing him and asking him about the things that he did to the horses he didn't want to answer because he knows that what he did to that animal is catching up with him that’s why he didn't talk to no one because he was getting ashamed. How can someone do such a thing to a animal they are humans to they have the same sentimental feelings as us just that they can’t speak their mind.
