Story of Tennessee Walking Horse Trainers

Summary: The story about Jackie McConnell describes of how they treat horses in order for them to get trained. The things they do she said breaks her heart because she knows what the horses are going through & it’s just causes them so much pain but that’s how they say they will learn. They had caught an employee on tape on how they treat the horses in Tennessee and they transported it to ABC news. They asked rich owners who wanted the walking horse for a competition and that’s what happened with how they treat them.

Reflection: What I think about this story is that its heartbreaking because of how they treat animals. Animals deserve to be treated as people get treated. The guy they caught on tape was really hitting and abusing the horse to the point where he was crying of hurting. My opinion is he was doing good because that’s how they would learn but at the same time he was choosing the wrong of not letting the horse have its freedom.
