Lori Greenwood boarded my horse for nearly 9 months and I have personally witnessed her neglectful and abusive treatment of animals. On several occasions I saw Lori with one or two horses that came into her care for training. First, it was apparent that the horses that were to be trained were not being worked with regularly, in fact, they would frequently get 'crash course' training the week they were to be picked up.in the spring of she was in the round pen with two young horses, likely yearlings, that had just come in to be halter broke. When she became frustrated, she began swinging a halter and hitting the horses in the face repeatedly while screaming at them. Of course, they were confused and scared, and continued to run away from her.
On several occasions two separate people witnessed Lori lose her temper with my horse (who was 20 years old and not in for training, just boarding) who paws at his stall door when waiting for his feed. Lori can't stand horses who make noise in their stalls, and went up to his stall and screamed at him. When he began pawing again, she went into the stall screaming at him and with a lead rope, repeatedly whipped at him and hit him in the face several times. My horse is just like a big dog, and it broke my heart. This was told to me by two people not aware the other had told me a similar story.
Lori does not properly care for her barn cats, she does not spay or neuter them and the result is a pattern of litters of unwanted kittens who are interbred and sickly with respiratory problems. She allows the kittens to die, year after year.
Lori sores the Tennessee Walking Horses she trains and leaves them standing in there stalls all show season long. If they dare complain, paw or kick or make noise, she enters their stall and beats them for it. She is a cruel and abusive person who has limited self control.
Lori is a drinker and will often no show for lessons or appointments with people. I have personally witnessed that many times, as well.
Lori will also take your money for "animal communication" at the rate of $35 per session. She took my bag of shavings for my trailer, and underfeeds the horses to save money whenever nobody is there to watch what is fed.
I asked the Humane Officer about filing abuse charges, and was told that unless it is videoed or happens when they witness the abuse, it is heresay and therefore, one person's word against anothers.
Lori also bragged about her Great Danes being so hard to train that they have to beat them in the face to teach them, they are so dumb. She told a story of when she was first married and her husband came home and beat the dog until they were both bloody, mostly from his knuckles bleeding.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, but frankly, this person is not deserving of your trust, nor should she or her family care for ANY animals. She will take your money while 'screwing' you with a smile on her face.
Beware.
