If I gave you a bonfire...

i would through on:

barbed wire :mad:
cheap leather
katie price range
bridles without nosebands

Not bridles without nosebands! lol
One of mine went so much better when he didn't have a noseband on, hated any sort of pressure on his nose (nothing medical just a quirk) and taking his noseband off made him accept contact and not fight the bit. I think he must have been strapped up to the eyeballs in a previous home as the less he has on the happier he is.
 
Another vote for coloured tack, Yuck!
tack that doesn't match, e.g tan noseband, but black rest of bridle
my old riding instructor, who scared my horse so much he jumped out of the arena =[
rubber riding boots
old fashioned metal curry combes, ALWAYS cut myself on those damn things
people who only wear correct things to rid ein all the time, e.g jodphurs, no hoody etc.
pelhams or equally strong bits that are in size 3''-4.5''
monday mornings
Actually, early mornings full stop!

I'm sure I'll think of more ;):D
 
would like to add people that drive when its only a 5 min walk away! i mean how lazy!!!

:D Ha! You have just cremated half the driving population of Canada! Plus me, I drive to the mailbox;)

My choice for the bonfire? People who winge about things that really aren't important in the grand scheme of things.
 
these - :eek:

Get the marshmallows out, I'm adding to the fire...

Adults who wear jackets with their horses name in diamonds on their back, you just look stupid...leave them to the 12 year olds.
Brow or any other piece of tack which has been weighted down by bling, glitter and sparkles.
Anything with a Joules label - for the love of god people wear something different to pastel pink and blue.
People who shave stupid markings in to their horses coats.
Parents who try and buy their way in to 1st place by spending a fortune on a pony/horse that is to advanced for their little Felicity or Hugo and then after a fall or a poor result at a show leave the pony in the field and move on to another hobby.
People who walk around the supermarkets in their riding gear just so other people know that have been riding.
Anyone who has a humongous 4x4 that either never takes it off road, pulls a trailer, at least fills it up with hay, straw or feed...Basically anyone who owns a 4x4 and only drives it to Sainsburys or to take the kids 300 yards to school.
People who don't slow down or pass wide enough for horses
The cost of permits to hack in the forest.
People who look down on others because of where or how they keep their horses.
People who take badly behaved dogs to shows.
Bridleways not being looked after/removed
Riders that don't say thank you when you do slow down, ride 2 a breast or give you a dirty look because their horse is mucking around so it must be "my" fault!!!
Flys in the summer and taps freezing in the winter...

I could go on but I'm worried I'm going to sound a grumpy, anti social bugger that would like to live on a quiet island on their own!!!
 
Katie Price/Jordan
All KP products endorsements, articles & news items. After reading she's arranging a commitment ceremony with the new bloke of how many weeks I officially no longer want to be subjected to hearing about her car crash of a life!

Parreli, if I want to beat my horse about the head with a leadrope clip I aint paying £150 for the leadrope to do it with.

As for those that hate neem oil, how the hell do you deal with midges then?!

And it's definitely not new, I've been using it for at least 10 years against aforementioned bl00dy midges.

I use neem for the nasties too, works better than any other product I have tried, and it costs less which is always a bonus!
 
I love you. I actually do :D I'd like to add all the people who I've ended up arguing with because when I ask them if their product / technique has any benefits supported by a well designed, controlled, statistically significant scientific study and they refer me to a case report or two published on their website :rolleyes: (It's a good thing Ben Goldacre doesn't (to the best of my knowledge) keep horses :cool:)

Also the owners of obese horses and the judges who place them in shows. Ditto owners who ride obviously lame animals and the judges who can't spot lameness. And gadgets, especially used incorrectly by novices.

This is gonna be a BIG bonfire.

I love you too!

Throw on the fire idiots that feed tit-bits.
 
Brown Tack - don't know why I hate it I just do!
Ditto everyone who said coloured tack, crank nosbands with lime green padding YUK!!!!!
those multi coloured rubber reins for kids, we never had them, we listened to our instructor!
expensive lotions and potions that don't work, but now you've opened the bottle, you can't take it back!
great long whiskers on horses, pretty littles faces that need a shave make me mad!
lanky kids still on their 1st pony, needing roller skates, you know the ones!
people who are surrounded by other liveries, who look after there horses really well, yet they never muck out properly, there horse is always too cold or too hot or hungry, or ill, yet they never notice and their horse is still alive! Poor Oscar, he's had that cough and snots for a month now yet he still has to go on a long hack!
People who 'go barefoot' by the method of just letting each shoe fall of randomly in the field, they are real class!
better stop now, getting angrier by the minute!
