Screen Test: McLain Ward (USA)

i love McLain! One of my favorite riders to watch. He has a quiet I think there are kids who are hungry. You just won’t find them at WEF, The Hamptons, Lake Placid, etc. You can find those kids at a N.H. hunter jumper show. She’s braiding horses at Mass Finals instead of compete. He’s stuck at 2’6” because his parents can’t afford to buy the next step. European kids have the luxury of having horses as a mainstream sport.

Except when he's putting shards of plastic in his horse's boots.

For The Love Of Horses
The veterinarians checked his horses TWICE and found NOTHING. “The entire time, the response was within the range of normal” - Dr. Tim Ober (checking McClain’s horses on the incident). Do your research before throwing stones.

He was disqualified at a show, “only out of concern for her (horse) welfare and to assure fair competition”. It’s also stated, “there had been no wrong doing” (stated by FEI) and USEF said, “there was no preponderance of physical evidence that would’ve made this a no brainer”. Again. Know facts before throwing stones

For The Love Of Horses they clearly stated that this WAS NOT TRUE. Maybe quit trying to spread rumors about something you know nothing about

She doesn’t care about research. I gave her information directly from an article which she’s ignored
