Sucks to be her though I doubt many will have any sympathy.

Good. People who mistreat animals are usually not very nice people and have some kind of aggression/power/sociopathic issues. For her to be trusted with the education of others' children is not really what any parent would want I'm sure.

Interesting how this will pan out. She's lost her st with her horse, quite unsavoury, but she clearly doesnt injure it. Suspension from work, does it have any direct impact on her ability to teach? Maybe they will just keep her out until joe public gets bored, would a teacher's contract have anything about this being "misconduct" or some sort of public scandal?

When we had a met police officer reinstated for aledged indecent images of minors etc, it is a difficult area i am sure

bad behaviour in a public place like that could easily cost her job. Same with social media presence.

Many companies might consider it bringing the company into disrepute if it was linked to the business, even inadvertently or by some karen. People regularly get the sack after some Karen type moans about something as simple as being cut up in a company vehicle etc.

Bit of a leap but would you want someone who can't even keep their temper with a horse left with kids?

You'd have to pretty thick to get yourself filmed by anti-hunt protesters kicking and punching your horse.

Can't say I have any sympathy.

Baffles me as to how people can treat animals like that. Stupid woman.

Is it being mistreated? It's a 300kg animal with it's own mind and a kick across the stomach and then a few slaps across the nose is not going to cause any injuries. When dealing with big and potentially dangerous animals you do have to retain some form of control, which, despite what the RSPCA might want, can't all be nicey nicey positive reinforcement and offer it a sugar lump.

Suspect most people with a background in livestock, horses or large animals would not be too worried about seeing that. How many people would smack their dog if it was misbehaving? Probably most owners.

[smifffymoto]

Not the right way to treat a horse but clearly it’s not injured.
I have more concern about how this lady has been vilified and suspended and been tried and convicted by social media.

[Frik]

Thoroughly unpleasant behaviour from her. Trial by social media mob is inevitably a vastly disproportionate punishment.

[Radec]

She's had a mare there.

No way to treat an animal.

Because she is dressed up all posh makes no difference to the chav scum kicking their dogs. She is Scum and i think any animal cruelty should metered out the same on the perp.

Yes, funny that my wife and I have never seen or heard anyone in the stables advocating giving the horse a good smack round the face and a kick in the legs to get it to do what they want it to.

You're wrong there. I haven't seen anyone smacking a dog in public for a long time, and all the people I know who own dogs wouldn't dream of smacking or kicking their dog. Most people realise these days that it is not a productive things to do.

You've never used a whip when riding? Never seen someone wrap the lead rein around its nose? Never given a horse a good smack when it plays up for the farrier?

What on earth do you do when they misbehave? Or maybe your stables are all happy hackers with docile 14 hand ponies who are past the point of caring.

Aye, guy in the OP goes on about them being big strong animals so you need to maintain control. How does it make sense to treat them in a way that's liable to make them panic.

Never smacked any dog I've ever owned, including the one I have now.

Never seen anyone I know smack a dog.

You’re deliberately being obtuse because you know you’ve said something incorrect, and rather than admitting it, you’re just digging deeper.

There’s a great difference between a tap with a riding crop and giving the horse a good whack round the face and a kick in the legs with boots on.

[essayer]

the horse didn't really seem to be misbehaving, was it?

also nobody in the hundreds of comments I've seen about this has mentioned the little metal box on the quad bike, the contents of which dole out far worse animal abuse than anything this woman did

Not at all. If you watch the video it doesn't look like there was much force, either in the kick or the slap round it's nose. I'm not saying they are "preferred" methods, but not uncommon either.

How do you discipline your animals when they misbehave?
