After reading a very long thread on earmuffs (!) I will put the record straight - of course I didnt 'presume' that my horse would wear them because it was a fashionable idea.

Permission was granted from the judge at C, this is normal practice and anyone can do this. If 'follyfoot' knew the rules she would be welcome to do the same.. I did feel her post was slightly uncalled for and although I am not 'sarkie' thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I will say alot of your posts made me laugh and the odd one makes me want to strangle you! I am not predjudice to anyone and the thought that my sexuality gives you so much for concern is archaic.

I will continue to practice my dressage and avoid looking through your windows at night! So wear your earmuffs with pride providing permission is granted!

Hope you had a good giggle at the stupid people, and enjoy your earmuffs! People are daft. And welcome to HHO.

Do you know, I never even noticed the "earmuffs".

I just thought "Hoorah, Carl has a new horse, we might get a medal in 2012 after all"

Good of you to take the time to respond to your critics.

I didn't read the post - earmuffs!!?? but it sounds fasinating!

But .er... I think your great - can I have a lesson (I/my horse will wear earmuffs if needed!!!

I hope you stay and help us all with our dressage woes, and also please let me know the next time you are in richhill as I would love to arrange a lesson!

ets: my grammer is woeful!
 
Frankly darling, if you want to make a fashion statement, you need a lot more bling..... perhaps a few mane jewels instead of white tape. And a sequin and a bit of tulle never did an earmuff any harm, I am sure you could carry it off. Shall I get my stylist to call yours? And while you are getting away with so much, i am sure that Catherine has a bottle of the gold sparkly hoof polish somewhere, it a teeny bit passe, silver is so much more in for hooves this year but you have to start somewhere......

So does this mean you're going to stay & answer all our woeful dressage questions?? Like if I put some earmuffs on my pony, will it help get the canter up off her forehand

Must admit mane jewels sound pretty cool, perhaps a light sprinkling for our sj lesson tomorrow??

Carl, to be honest, you could wear a santa hat and the horse reindeer ears and you would still be a 'god' in my eyes! You are a great role model for the sport of dressage and someone who truly appreciates and cares for their horses and that's worth a lot more than earmuffs in my book.

this weekend dressage riders up and down the country will be wearing earmuffs in support of mr h, the blingier the more supportive!!!!!! follyfoot will be easily spotted by her horses nakedness..............................just as well im an sjer

well done, you are super, my niece who flew over from England today, to visit me in Northern Ireland with her mum, and also to look at some horses to buy, we spent so much time talking about the forum and "sarkie" we really thought that it was you...I have just rung her, she is on her way home from Liverpool airport, to tell her about your post......please keep posting, although I would imagine you will be swamped by calls for advice....Oh for all "name" riders to go on in their real names..it would be wonderful...no more "i heard it on the grapevine"

Not likely - all the potential mad groupies and stalkers will have scared him away!!!!

Good of him to set the record straight with good grace though.

I can imagine him finding us amusing...

dont you think that santa hats ar rather saturday night out with the chavs? I dont know if that is quite the tone a Dress Arge Rider should be going for?

Well said. We are soo childish on this forum - lols!
What a load of nuimpties, getting hotted up by something one person said. People have they're right to views - but that still doesn't entitle us to just be horrible and snitchy on a whim!

Live and let live, treat people how you would like to be treated etc etc.

Lets face it, earmuffs or no earmuffs, the bloke could wear a ballgown and pantyhose and still get a GP test out of a skateboard with a tail.

He is a stunning rider to watch and very dry and funny to listen to.

Carry on Mr Hester. 2012 is a calling.

TBH Carl, I feel very sorry for you that you had to read all that nasty stuff in the previous post and that you felt the need to post to reply but good on you for doing so.

Keep doing what you are doing and winning everything (wearing earmuffs as much as poss

) and that will keep the 'unofficial judges' at bay.
 
Oh My Golly Gosh!

Welcome to the forum, although I suspect your first foray on HHO has left you feeling less than enthusiastic about regularly returning.

I haven't read all of the other thread, but cannot believe some of the comments that I did read.

Sexuality has nothing to do with your talent, it is irrelevant to anyone else, and I respect/admire you for the horseman you truly are.

Good luck in 2012, I hope to see you secure a new piece of gold jewellery, fly fringe or not!

Great post though.

Carl is a rider I could watch all day. A joy to see him perform his craft.
