The worst horse trainer ever. Last year i relocated to Colorado and left my horse in Colleens care while i got settled. Needless to say If you want a horrible trainer Colleen Collins is it. She starved my horse, made her dead lame and refuses to give back some of my stuff. My horse left Colleen extremely under weight and on three legs. Colleen blatantly lied several times regarding my horses condition. Id often text Colleen asking about my mare and no response. One day i received a call from Colleen saying my horse is "off" not lame but off. She thought it was an abscess and to wait to call the vet. She also asked if she had insurance, big red flag. My mom went down to see my horse and noticed her terrible condition. She was standing in pee on three legs. Immediately i reached out to another trainer to have her rescued. When I told Colleen a local trainer in the area was coming to rescue her she had the audacity to say " No 30 day notice?" sorry but people who commit animal abuse do not deserve a notice. She also claimed my horse was in great care, not sure how anyone can think that and refused to let me horse leave until i paid for a fly mask and cotton. Threatened multiple times to lock out the trainer coming to rescue my mare. After a week shes gained weight but shes still horribly lame. I truly believe if Colleen was honest my horse would not be suffering. My mare will take a long time to recover from all she endured with Colleen. After leaving Colleen i asked for some items that were left at her place and she refuses to respond or give them back. If you want a terrible trainer who abuses animals this is it.
*Update - I have tried to reach an agreement with Colleen and instead she sent her husband after me. She refuses to take responsibility and has lied multiple times. My pictures and text messages speak for themselves.* read more
