I should have put a disclaimer with the pic saying that there are some absolutely amazing teenagers on this forum, who I would be honoured to let ride my horse and trust them entirely :) :) Many, many are far more talented already than I'll ever be :rolleyes: :mad: :D

Even the most novice rider can express a valid opinion, and in fact may spot something more experienced riders will miss. I hope all the lovely teenagers on here don't think us oldies have anything against them in general :D
 
I rug my unclipped welsh section a. He is in legwraps and a heavyweight atm, sometimes with a fleece underneath. I know my pony, don't try and tell me that he doesn't need them, or I am mollycoddling etc. My pony, I know him best.

Not in the slightest!
Gosh, hope my post didn't sound accusing or anything, I just genuinely did find it very funny :)
 
Oh, god. I am out of the teenage years now (since November, so a proper adult :P) and oh god. There are posts which make me cringe- QueenOfCadence, I would be bloody careful if I were you. You have posted so much information on here I know your name, what school you attend, your brother's name (he's good at music, yes?)... But I also know about your boyfriend's recent surgery which I doubt he wants half the horsey population in the UK knowing all about. I post about someone, but I double check what I say with them before I say it. I'd just be careful if I were you :)
 
I have already located her facebook, home address, school address, competition records, blog from 2010, epetition sight, you tube channel etc etc.

Took around 10 seconds......anything on the internet is traceable...especially pictures....

Even when she can't decide on the spelling of her horse's name - or whether she bought it from a dodgy dealer with unknown history or knows all its history from birth.
 
1. My horse will also get a smack if he pushes his luck. Biting, kicking, rearing, invading my space is not "character".End of.
2. He's not barefoot, he just doesn't have shoes. He's not on a special diet and I don't use a trimmer and he's never been lame as a result. I do it because he's never shown signs of needed shoes (and yes he's hacked out on different terrain for hours in the summer).
3. Just because your horse is on a high fibre, no taste, no cereal diet and is doing well, I will feed mine what I feel works for him. I didn't ask for feeding advice and I don't want to "borrow some from you just to try it".
4. If my horse is being a bugger in the school I will ride him until he does what I ask, if it takes another hour then we will be there for another hour. As a result of doing this for a whole year he has learnt to try and do it first time. I don't care if its not perfect, he's listened to me and tried. He now has lovely manners and still plenty of character.

Think that's about it. Aaaannnddd breathe! :D
 
Funnily enough i have bought MY stuff for ME to use- not you. And especially not without asking.

Yes i use a stronger bit for hacking and jumping. I would like to be able to stop and be safe. I also dont wont to be hauling on a snaffle and would rather have something stronger and use it less.

@enfys. I don't believe that horses are capable of harassment. QUOTE]

Ah, there you have it, the whole point of this thread - our ability to agree to disagree and still get along without chucking eggs at each other.

I believe they are, and you don't. Not a problem at all on my part.

This is getting a bit out of hand. A bunch of grannies picking on a young girl. Hang your heads in shame! :O

I'm only marginally older than her, and I just wanted to make the point that she's very open on here, potentially to the detriment of her internet safety. I have no interest in her, but it's worrying how little thought a young teenager has put into what she says.

I know I'm easily found out but equally you'll just know my full name. My FB is closed to anyone who isn't my friend, barring a photo album and a few innocuous status'. If you google me, nothing comes up related to me- you have to put my old school in. If you put my horse's name in too, you get 2 results. I'm not very traceable!

Are you a secret agent or in the witness protection programme do tell !!!!
 
Go for it b_h- you can't get much off that though :) Add me though!

Goldenstar, no just someone who finds it really scary how much people willingly put out in the open about who they are, especially when they're young!

@enfys - not a problem here either. People have raised good examples that my feeble amount of knowledge have no explanation for :P

Gah. I forgot to add the darn smilies :mad:

:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Ah, but we only have your word for it that you have 'a feeble amount of knowledge' you could be a famous horse behaviourist incognito for all we know. :)
I think a lot of people on here are much more than they choose to seem. ;)
 
Wow - to all those people saying that they don't care what other people do with their horses, and they don't want to hear "might need a saddler/is it's back ok" why do you bother either asking in the first place or reading the responses? In fact why bother to be on the forum at all?
