I would just like to add, for all those people currently struggling into tutus having torn up their BE membership renewal for 2012.
Between 67-95% of ballet dancers sustain potentially career ending injuries every year.
All activities carry risks

Some very personal stuff put on here that has nothing to do with the original post, so you are just as bad as the one you are slating.

I must be a h&h nasty too as I do not find the op being told if they cannot afford or are not prepared to invest in a fitting saddle for
their daughters pony to find an
alternative cheaper hobby rude in the slightest!
At the very least a saddle fitter needs to be called before the pony is ridding again! And pending the results of this possibly a physio too .
The pony may or may not be being naughty or insecure in its new home but all physical reasons need to be eliminated first before risking riding the pony again especially by a minor lacking confidence!

The sentiments of the post in question is not the problem, being told to try ballet, was both rude, and unhelpful, and smacked of someone wanting a reaction.
That is all I wish to say on the comment

Exactly!
At 15 with a ballet career ahead of me the pony I was riding flipped over on the road - bolting from a double decker bus - and I ruptured a disc in my back - end of ballet career.
At least I could still ride - never told my mum exactly what had happened as I knew I'd be banned from riding.

this - and the fact it isnt her horse, it is on loan so could be taken back at any time. If the problem is with the saddle then this horse, the lady and her daughter have been let down very badly by the owner - who honestly here would send their horse on loan with badly fitting therfore painful tack????
op - please dont leave this forum - some people in the real world and online seem to get a kick out of being rude and obnoxious, evil even - think "asbo trophies" and why asbos didnt work - thankfully such "people"are very much in the minority, both here and in the real world - though all leave a very bitter taste in your mouth.
Quite sad really -a bit like school bullies, you eventually realise they were ultimateley very sad people with terrible soul destroying lives and pitied them x

Please read the posts before jumping to such conclusions I am sorry but where does the OP say she is not prepared to invest in a saddle which fits, this is what I read on their first post
Personally I cannot blame her for not wanting to fork out for a new saddle for a horse that is only on loan, yes I do think the saddle should be checked and the horse should be worked in other ways until the saddle is checked etc but I do not think it should be the loan owners responsibility to buy a new saddle when the actual owner has since said they knew the saddle is not a great fit yet sent the horse out on loan with it regardless!

I have no problem with what people have said on this thread, but rather how they have said it.
People often post on here when they are scared, worried or simply not thinking terribly clearly - horses can elicit strong emotional responses which are multiplied when children are involved.
There is no point in giving good advice if you word it in such a way to make people feel worse about themselves, or get defensive...
PS Ballet can horrendously expensive; surely there must be cheaper hobbies about?

I am certain I read that he has been loaned with his tack, and that the owner knew it wasn't the best fit, although I am not sure if this was mentioned before or after he went on loan HHO is being very slow so cannot find OP's comment.

I have avoided this thread as I thought that I might have said enough. I am now being called "evil" "obnoxious" and "soul destroying lives". Now forgive me please, but where have I ever posted on this thread ANYTHING as NASTY AS THAT! Now please stop this as there really is no need to take your vitriole out on me for answering a post as I saw it.

I did read all the first 6 pages or so posts in which the op does say they cannot afford new tack if this does not fix the problem !
If the saddle does not fit and a new saddle is purchased even then a fix to the problem is still not garenteed and probably physio and time will be required.
I still cannot find the comment about the ballet shoes which was only suggestion if money for correctly fitting tack was not available rude in any way and I agree with it.

lannerch I think what the OP means is that they cannot afford to WASTE the money buying a saddle if that is not the issue. I think she said that she is happy to buy a new saddle IF that is the problem, which is why many people have suggested to get a saddle fitter, and get the old owner down to ride the pony.

Merry Crisis,
Without being argumentative now, seriously, have a look down all of your previous posts in other threads etc - and see how many people have said they find you rude and offensive. Does that not tell you something? You may just be 'forthcoming' with your opinion but that does not excuse you being hurtful and sarcastic. Really not a nice trait in someone and not helpful.

Thanks mooning 1 I realise this however at the time when the ballet shoes comment was posted the op had not said this just that she couldnot afford new tack If this did not fix the problem. And could not afford it if he still was to be difficult. At that stage nothing .
At the time the comment was wholly appropriate.
There is rudeness now on this thread but as far as I can see none directed at op. ( sorry if I missed any on later posts as I have only read the first and last several pages )

being forthcoming is an excuse for being for being a rude obnoxious bully - asbo idiots and their mums use this excuse every dammed day. Sometimes to excuse physical violence and I for one am sick of it, see it daily - grow some decorum and learn some bloody manners!!!!!

maybe not a rude comment if MC knows the daughter in question personally , but as i'm guessing she doesn't then how does she know that the child did not sustain an injury when she had her nasty xc fall which means that ballet would be totally unsuitable?
People should be a bit more thoughtful in their replies because a flippant comment could actually be very insulting

I think you may be right.
Which would also explain the pony's playing up, if it hadnt been ridden for some time, a new home plus an ill fitting saddle! Bingo!

Hit a nerve yes insulting no!
However without previous knowledge of that nerve not at all rude.
Op hope your daughters better now and really do hope you get your pony sorted although part of me does wonder if your daughter and new pony are suited although I really hope they are.
