This fellow, who is an excellent farrier, took it upon himself to "train" my Mustang mare, who refused to be haltered that day. Instead of just coaxing her with a treat or grain, according to the neighbors, he started running her. Every time she stopped he increased pressure by approaching her, instead of backing off to let her come to him. By their account, he went at her for nearly 2 hours, and she finally quit due to sheer exhaustion. He had the nerve to bill me for "training." I fired him. Most days I am there when the farrier comes, but could not due to a conflict at work. NEVER again. I will just reschedule. We haven't been able to halter this girl since (no prior issues), so now we are going to have to pay a real trainer to help her over this idiot's handling of her. I have a mind to send him the bill...
