is it national stirrup day or something??

[LeneHorse]

Came on for my daily browse and there are no less than 6 different threads about stirrups on page 1 of the tack room. Is this just a coincidence or is something weird going on
I know stirrups are deeply fascinating but still.....

I was just thinking this.

Just to add, your title made me giggle.

Someone is trying to advertise! Makes the forum v boring. I've reported it.

 

[Tern]

There are 9 stirrup questions on two pages..

ETA: I get you now Honey, this person is advertising by bumping old threads up.

So have I, I'm mainly lurker but this has annoyed me enough to do something about it!

Stupid advertiser clogging up the forum resurrecting zombie threads... I can only assume that Halloween is to blame.

One thing is for sure - I would not countenance buying those stirrups that are being advertised under any circumstances. If they need to advertise this annoyingly, the product must be utterly and completely crap.

10 Stirrup threads n the first page alone.

I even clicked through to the firm concerned (sorry-just curious).

Won't be buying any tho.

And like the Duracell bunny, the spammer keeps plugging on, alienating his/her target market...

Admin must be on a break.

Someone's let them in the clubhouse now!

I'm tempted to follow them around posting on the threads that the stirrups are rubbish, so that comes up on every google!

I noticed this too. Personally wouldn't ever choose any stirrups over freejumps these days anyway so wouldn't be tempted even without the blatant advertising...

The last resurrected thread I can see was early May this year. Bet there's loads yet. It could be a long night.

Ooh tempting... I'd like to make up a long involved story about how I was out riding my pony (Trumper) at our local show using these stirrups when he spooked at an elderly man who was giving a dowsing demonstration, and was ejected from the saddle at speed only to have my foot become entangled in not one but both stirrups simultaneously (as they have strong magnets in them). The rocket propellants designed to asssist heavier riders into the saddle then went off without warning, and I zoomed around the field hoisted by one ankle, only to be deposited in front of the elderly judge when said propellants failed dismally, and he promptly banished me from all future pony club shows. As such, I do not recommend.

But it would look like I was the spammer when admin remove the adverts.

 

[Tiddlypom]

And gone... Thanks, admin.

Now we can ponder the puzzle of the Chinese characters instead.

Hey, on the bright side it makes a change from the kitchen spam ads that appear in the middle of the night!
I think the stirrup-poster has been Removed
