How would you feel to get to your horses stall at a World Show (or any show) and find your horses mane completely cut off?? Someone went into my stall and took off the hood and blanket to cut off my geldings mane with sissors. This person cut the mane down to the skin, he has NO MANE left. The coward just did not want to show againist "Derby" who won two World Championships last year. I show in amateur classes, I'm NOT doing this to make a living, it is suppose to be fun. Do we now have to hire security guards or get cameras for our horses at shows?? Is the AMHA going to just "let this go-away" and just think people will go on and forget about it??? Think about what else that person might do to your horse. I think we have to stand together and make sure this is not allowed and that something is done about it.
I did go ahead and show the horse and got the gate. This was quite a shock since the horse has a remarkable record of wins. Then at the end of my class an announcement was made " Number 595 had an unfortunate incident and we thank her for her participation" - THANK YOU AMHA!!! Boy this really showed that this is not allowed.......
