Has the discipline of horse management gone out the window in modern times???

I love the way people have been taken in again ! hahaha, the truth is before your eyes guys !

Oh and I set my stable fair tonight, laughing as i was thinking about this troll, so thanks Patch1234, you've put a smile on my face today :)
 
I can remember working on a military yard about 25 years ago, and the routine OP describes is pretty much what I can remember, however, I'm glad that times have changed, the back man was unheard of, don't remember a EDT or saddle fitters, bucking rearing etc was put down to 'bad behaviour' yes the yard was very disciplined but it doesn't mean it was right. My horse is happy and relaxed (without ever being strapped, not once) the yard he's at is a very happy one where we all get on, and the YO is the best.
 
How very odd. Gingerwitch receives abusive pm from Patch 1234 and Gingerwitch is banned but the sender isn't ?

The world has gone mad. Some trolls are funny, some cause disruption and disharmony. I prefer the first kind. It takes wit and imagination. The second type should not be fed.
 
reaching for my second hand copy of 'keeping your horse outside' cerca 1980 it does say that one should not groom or bath a horse that lives out too vigorously as it removes natural oils from the coat... perhaps that's why the OP thought they were suffering.

I do love sweeping generalisations and the good old days surely better technology, information and veterinary care are good things :confused:
 
Thank you for all the reples, all very interesting points of view.

Is it possible now to use this forum in the way it is intended as there are some very experienced people on here with some very helpful advice on subjects that would be of great interest to me. Im not interested in the game playing so I kindly ask that if any of my posts annoy you in any way dont reply to them and move on to something of interest to you. Thank you

Susan Pyke here with her COMPETITON horse - not a HACKING horse...

he is only 4 and been broken in since yesterday and that only took half an hour.... he jumps 4ft could go higher with ease.....
we have done a full day hunting today and were just taking him to dressage on the way back - do you think it will matter about all the mud ? and were doing a x country clinic tomorrow - do you think he needs more work??

Now Susan you just know what will happen here -

JILL will get your pony! :eek:
 
I dont post on here regularly but have noticed gingerwitch and think she has a very wicked sense of humour which I for one appreciate...surely this ban wont be permanent...

For what its worth I dont think you are a troll

But you have rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way with your style of posting and your need to be a little boastful and superior. Not everyone has the time or money that you apparently have but that doesnt make them lesser mortals or their horses uncared for scruff bags.

I hope you do stick around and become a valued member of the forum, I hate to see people pushed out but you may want to learn to wind your neck in

Very well put, although I have to say, this thread has been most entertaining!

Trolls don't do anything illegal.

Gingerwitch breached copyright by publishing a PM.

None of you have any evidence that Patch is a troll, and from the breadth and number of your posts on other threads, Patch I don't think you are.

You need to get used to the "perkins" sidetracking though. I find it one of the best bits of the forum :D
 
It certainly has been entertaining

If I could get my boss to still pay me yet be absent from work I would happily fall in to line with that daily routine!
 
What did Gingerwitch do to get herself banned?

Fwiw, I think the OP has been given a very hard time on this thread, and her condescending attitude is displayed just as overtly by many others on this forum. Double standards in that some appear to be forgiven far more easily .......

She publicly posted a PM from OP.
 
I've enjoyed this thread so thanks Patch1234 for allowing the fun creative side of Forum members to flourish - particularly FFionWinnie, Slightly Foxed and Littlelegs :D

Shame about GW though :( - hope she is back soon as she is having a hard enough time as it is.
 
If a troll is someone who posts something deliberately provocative, then that is what patch has done. The military regime appears to be her ideal yet previously she has stated that her horse is turned out from 8a.m-5p.m. And if I can only answer posts I agree with, then this forum won't offer much in the way of discussion will it?

I'm with Cptrayes on this except I'd go a bit further in that I didn't enjoy the Perkins sidetracking. Suspected troll? Ignore it, surely? This schoolgirl common room savagery is deeply unedifying. We all enjoy banter and we all hope to receive sensible advice; if you think someone's taking the p** do the grown-up thing and ignore them. Alternatively, take them at face value and actually offer some help.

You see, I didn't see it like that at all - I took it as a fun toungue in cheek regime to raise some discussion, but then OP got slated and made fun of with the Perkins sidetracking ..... Now I don't knmow what to think, tbh
