Who is euthanisng the horses? What method is being used? Is the process supervised? Quote

Part of the thread shows a video of the "new horse dissection and therapy laboratory". Loose use of the term laboratory. Quote
Chief Stipe Posted 9 hours ago Posted 9 hours ago I just happened to see a video Nairn did showing the spine of a 4yr old horse. She argued that the fact the growth plates in the vertebrae haven't closed is evidence of pathology caused by race training. However the science says that growth plates don't fully close until 5 to 6 years!!! Quote

Did she say that the lack of closure was pathological itself and due to the early training, or that the intense training prior to closure could cause pathology, e.g. back strain? Quote

Not clear what she said. My point is given the alleged age of the horse closure wouldn't be expected regardless. In any case Nairn is not qualified to make any diagnosis. Quote
Steven B Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Attitude: Cold, Defensive, and Running from Accountability — Becks Nairn Becks Nairn showed a serious lack of feeling in the way she responded to the Hanmer accident, where a young girl was kicked in the face by a horse. A child’s nose was smashed. Her father had to carry her, bleeding, for over a kilometre. And what did Nairn offer? Not a shred of compassion. Not a hint of concern. Just a pile of excuses. She claimed the guide “froze.” She said the father “took off.” She spoke of regulations and procedures as if they somehow justified doing nothing. But where was the humanity? Where was the apology? Where was the basic decency to say, “This should never have happened”? Instead, she treated it like a PR crisis. It didn’t seem to matter whether the child recovered—only that the business reputation stayed intact. And that’s not new. Nairn has had business failures before, quietly swept under the carpet. She moves quickly, evades responsibility, and never gets close enough to be held accountable. You don’t get the truth. You get fragments—filtered, trimmed, and self-aggrandising. That article was sent to me by a woman from the south, and I was enraged. Not just by the accident, but by Nairn’s attitude. The coldness. The lack of ownership. It makes you wonder what else has been masked. I couldn’t help but laugh when she called herself a “director.” A tin-pot trekking enterprise she couldn’t manage. Then she quotes herself as working with “the best in the world”—despite having no formal education. How grandiose can you get? This wasn’t leadership. It was evasion dressed up as professionalism. And the public deserves better.I There is more to post at a later stage Quote
