shes pulling on the reins so hard while walking and trotting did you

see the girl on the white horse at the end while trotting she was yanking on the horses mouth

"You can rip it out" Seriously woman?! I cringed at the sound of the hair breaking. She is ruining that poor horses mane and tail. Gah and her shoe comment - you take two inches out of her feet and you will have an incredibly lame horse you idiot. She should not be allowed near a horse.

she graduated to a trot?!? that poor horse, was getting pulled so hard. it's people like her that shouldn't be around such beautiful animals.

"i rather them have too much then too little"?! If u give them too much oats they can colic..and two flakes of hay seems like a little, I give my horse half a bale of hay, oats, and he grazes the majority of the day. "let's watch the expert"?! She can't even ride..she got kicked a bunch of times cuz she can't discipline her horses! An I'm not even going to comment on the way she brushed that horses tail and mane! That women knows nothing about horses!

There's horsemanshit in Malibu. Someone kick that girl, please. Or maybe hit her on the head with a Pony Club Manual. Horses are truly saints, aren't they....

[Imasadielady]

Wow, poor horse, the girl on the white horse is pulling to hard, it could really make the horses mouth sore if you hold it hard and long enough. Dont pull towards your face because when the horse stops you can hurt yourself,and dont go 2 inches deep because the horse...um wouldn't feel to good. Thats why she get kicked so many times,in my experience with horse i never got kicked, maybe almost bucked off, but i fallen off horses so many times it really dosn't bother me.

@CrystalGazer95 What I was saying was that I agree with you that i havent heard all about all the talk that is being said and that it isnt somebodys job to tell me it. And the same goes with all people... there is tons of talk going around that isnt being said directly to you.

[CrystalGazer95]

@theeventingcafu Except that I wasn't implying that things only happen as often as I hear about them - you were (even if it wasn't entirely intentional).

[theeventingcafu]

@CrystalGazer95 I did say that ive heard of people being dragged before a few times. Yes it is true that i dont know everything that people say since i am a teenager and the adults that I rode with mostly talked to my parents and not to me. But the same goes along with everyone... even you.

[CrystalGazer95]

@theeventingcafu I'll admit to not remembering exactly what you said (a couple of these comments were posted from my phone, so I couldn't read back), but the point is still valid. Just because you personally haven't heard of something happening doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. You are not a mind reader, nor omniscient, and no one is obligated to tell you everything.

When I said "way to contradict yourself" I clarified that to others, it sounded like you said the "trainer" was wearing boots.

@LitleDusk ...(which all the judges loved) So please dont bitch about my riding with only reading coments

[theeventingcafu]

@LitleDusk Yes i know that there are shock absorber pads... im not a retard... im saying that we use them for more cushion on the horses back. I never said that posting was painful to a horse. And lastly I always stay with the horses motion when I ride... A couple years ago I went to a show and got pretty much in the lowest scores because I was so connected with my horses motion compared to all the hunter bitches who would keep their body as motionless and stuck as possible...
