Apparently when I did my last blog, my psychic powers were at their peak, because I mention Jason Meduna and now he again pops up in the news of the horse world. Since I’ve now mentioned this twice, I should clarify for those of you who aren’t aware of the 3-Strikes Ranch fiasco, if you’re curious, you can find alot of info about the story, but long story short – he bought a ranch in Nebraska and began to adopt wild horses with the idea of training them and selling broke horses later. He overstocked the ranch and horses starved to death before he was finally shut down. The saddest thing about his complete mis-management of the ranch was that until the end, he accused neighbors of poisoning the horses! Stories now abound about his abilities as a horse trainer and ranch manager, most are very unflattering.
I never wish harm or bad on anyone, but I do hope that justice is in some way served with this trial. In small part it already has been served in that he has lost his ranch and chance to live the lifestyle he wanted, and as a horseman/cowboy type, that certainly has to be a kick in the gut for him.
