The charges against John Spencer were dropped today because the truth finally came to light. They tried to smear a good horseman but our refusal to back down stopped them cold. We remain vigilant to ensure this kind of baseless attack never happens again.

Final supporters
this petition is to support John Spencer who is being accused of abusing his horse. The scenario in question is not a case of animal abuse but an event in which his horse had an episode of bad behavior. He did not punish the animal for that behavior, the result of the injury is due to the behavior.

The people making these false accusations against John Spencer are clearly desperate to ruin a good man over a simple behavioral incident. I am currently reaching out to everyone who actually witnessed what happened because the truth needs to come out now. Don't let these people spread their lies while we stay silent.

The massive support we have gathered proves that people see through these baseless attacks on John. The critics and the authorities trying to bury him are losing their grip now that the truth is being exposed.

There is no way John would ever abuse his horses. My son rides with John & we've never seen any abuse. In fact, at one of the shows one of his horses needed to be adjusted by our chiropractor. He had all of his horses adjusted that day. He didn't want any of them hurting. John is a great guy & the people that are saying he abused his horses make me sick!
John is a responsible horseman who would never abuse his horses. This situation is a result of a bystander not understanding the unpredictable behavior of John's horse while ponying the horse to another area. This is a tragic situation situation that needs to be rectified immediately.
I've been riding with and attending events where John Spencer rides for approx 6-7 years. He is very even tempered and quiet & I've never seen him become angry w his horses inside or outside of the arena or even ride them unnecessarily hard or long. Each horse I've seen him or his family ride looks well fed & groomed.
Anyone with any horsemanship skills what so ever can easily see that this horse was not abused. She's well fed, fit and groomed. These allegations are completely unwarranted. Unfortunately when a horse throws a fit they will sometimes hurt themselves.
A trainer has no control over an animals actions. I hope people will realize this was not intentional, and know it could happen to any one person.
This guy is a great person and wouldn't hurt his horses and for someone to think that means they are ignorent
I've known John all my life, and know for a fact that he would never abuse a horse.

If you locked up every horse person that'd had something similar happen all jails would be full. This is beyond ridiculous.
