Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

Doomscrolling last night. Video of a woman tidying her cob gelding up. Trimming, bathing etc.
All fine until she does a sheath clean and an angry woman comments that the cob owner is doing it for sexual gratification.
Doesn’t specify if she thinks it’s gratification for horse or human.
I decided it was enough internet for one day.
 
I had a dirty old man shout that up the road at me and my freelancer last summer because Reg had left a pile in the road. The horrifying thing was that the guy was attending an under 12s (or similar) football tournament at the time.

I'd probably have reported him to the club for inappropriate language and behaviour in front of minors. You'd hope they'd deal with it because that's the sort of thing that seems to escalate rapidly if the police get wind of it. I don't know what it is about some men and football events, it's like they forget all the normal rules about how to behave in public. Even when it's kids' events.

It was on the village recreation ground - i did mention it in passing to a couple of the mums I know with kids on the team. They were more concerned with whether I went back to collect Reggie's gift, so I never took it any further. Some people shouldn't live in the countryside.

People are weird. Also dumb - the number of people I've heard saying "it is just as dangerous as dog poo!" is amazing.

I had a not-dirty middle aged man shout at me after I asked him to slow down in his car (I was leading 2 horses along the lane and he came flying along it - also heading to a football match, with 2 teenage boys in the car). Reported him to the local club where they were playing, and the club his boys were playing for. His own club sent gushing apologies and promises to speak to their members about being mannerly when visiting other clubs. Agree about the 'men and football events' thing - they all seem to think they are attending a Chelsea match, not a children's sport. See it all the time when I take my own teenage boys to football - the pitchside shouting (and actual fist fights) are unbelievable (and we think some pony club mums are bad!). That said I asked my boys what they think of it, and they just find it funny and ignore it.

Probably because it's not you doing it! Can you imagine the embarrassment as a teenager if one of your parents got involved in something like that. I think I would've died and refused to play the sport ever again.

Ahhh, they know how little I know about football. My pitchside coaching would be something like 'Kick it!' 'That way!' Maybe that sounds more like a pony club mum, actually....
 
I saw a really sad one. Rising 5yo Welsh x Arab mare. Doing… well… rising 5yo Welsh Arab mare kind of things. Feisty and opinionated. The current people bought the pony to bring on, and are now selling on because the pony is doing young pony things.

Just why?

I’d love a 14.2/3 Welsh Arab. They’re so cool as adults. Fast and fun. Probably a good thing the ad is too far away from me.
