"Katie Price can't ride" claims Jodie Marsh

didn't jodie do the mini celeb version of the express eventing badly or am I thinking of someone else? I think that she had been at OTs for training.
 
sassy equine KP has bought a ready made horse in glamour girl who was competing PSG in scotland albeit under a different name, and no matter what JM says at least she has a hat on to protect the little knowledge that is in there, KP obviously has reseigned to having nothing in there as she dosent feel the need to protect her no exsistent brain

Actually I disagree, I doubt that dressage has ever been in the national press as much as it has since KP started riding again. Every time a pink rug or t-shirt is bought, its revenue into the equine industry, the old saying - there's no such thing as bad publicity springs to mind, sadly horsey people are still seen by some as 'rich toffs', ok so brash & opinionated is the other extreme but its a start.

And didn't KP have a boob reduction, so she doesn't have a HUGE chest anymore?

. HH today is just one step up from 'Hello' and the rest of the mind numbing bull that goes under the title of 'magazine'. They are there to make money and not educate nor make food for thought. 21ST century crap-naff and without substance. Beginning to prefer 'Mechanics Weekly'

KP has a shed load of dosh, buys something that's already made and she sits there a 'trys' to look pretty. I'd like to see her on something that would really make her ride other than men! The same really for Jodie common marsh!!!

Its all about the media!!
 
oh my god why are H&H publishing tit (!!) for tat bitching?!

Looked at the pics couldnt help myself, jodie marsh looks like a tramp, who rides with there wangers hanging out ?! seriously.
Katie may be pink clad (love it, so want the boots!) but asleast she is in sensible riding wear!! not booby and with crap trowelled all over her face.
 
Oh. my. god. not sure which one of them is worst. Anyone who can list the positive things these two bring to equestrianism I challenge you to list them below. (making us all feel better about our abilities doesn't count as one)
 
I like Katie Price, especially her Pink Lorry !!! She is not that bad and she seems willing to learn and improve, I have watched a lot worse and a lot better than her in a dressage areana. If it brings more interest to the sport in general where is the harm. However I do agree that watching Jodie at next years Olympia, 'Galloping over proper jumps' in front of the crowds would be worth going to see. I doubt she is aware of all the hard work that most of us put into our horses, especially those of us that cant just go out and buy a made horses.
 
think they are both a waste of space and think to prove they can both really really ride jodie should give katie a piggy back ride round the lion enclosure at longleat!!!!

You know... never in a million years did I think I'd be sticking up for KP... but I expect she IS in fact the better rider of the 2 AND (can't believe I'm saying this either) she's a million times classier than JM.
I must be ill. Someone check my temperature!!

Must be the same here though

because to the ones saying she is just buying made horses,how many times a day do you see a post about someone who should have bought a good old schoolmaster and not tried to make a horse themslef?
Well,is that not what KP has done?
The black one(the HOYS ride,dont know the name) was a PSG gorse right?
So she is a really good schoolmaster for a novice to learn the dressage ropes on yes? Placed with a good trainer who can help you imporove and keep the horse ticking over,at a good yard.....am I missing something because that seems a sensable way to go about things.
 
I like Katie Price.
She's made her own career pay and with her earnings she's bought some nice horses, she's having professional lessons and getting out there and competing - Isn't that what we'd all like to do? No I suppose not, if we all had her money we'd all prefer to ride cheap non-talented nags that are never going to take us very far, we'd all have lessons from someone that know's a bit more than we do and we'd quite enjoy not getting very far.
Come on Jodie, get real!
 
Katie Price can ride for toffee. I think she works extremely hard to get where she is with her career and her horse riding. Just because she is not the typical horse rider girl - hay in the hair, muddy boots and the windswept look - does not mean she cannot ride as well or better than any of us. I am not a dressage rider but I know it is difficult and I am aware you can buy ready made horses but as "sassyequine" says she has bought talented horses with potential as I am sure all the top riders do - rather than an apparent ready made horse. I think she has the potential to be really good and from what I've read she is willing to keep on improving and her love for horses is apparent from the effort she puts in.
I think the main problem people have is just because she was a glamour model she is a complete numpty who wouldn't go near anything incase she breaks a nail!
So, I say good luck Katie and keep advertising the equestrian market to people as it could do with a boost!!!
 
I have to say I haven't seen either of them ride so can't make a judgment but I have found that when I am trying to sell horses, most people who have been riding "for years" don't seem to have the first idea how to ride a horse with a bit of spark to it. We seem to have made riding schools too safe with all the pressure from personal injury litigation, to the detriment of every keen horserider. Where do we go from here?
 
Jodie has just made herself look so bad IMO! Katie as much as I dont like her is original, in her own way
wink.gif


As others have said why have HHO lowered themeselves to reporting on something that happened in zoo magazine?
 
Ok so Jodie batted for the other side for a while but that intrigues me is her comment that "KP isn't very good in bed"; is she speaking from personal experience?
Now there's a story and a half!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think if H&H have to stoop this low to bring readership to their magazine they have to be desperate. @ IPC Media PLEASE......... If I wanted an episode of Hello magazine I would go out and buy it, are readership sales really this bad??????
 
they are both bloody annoying and trampy BUT in this arguement i have to stick up for KP.

JM is a complete tit, and out of the two KP is definitley the better of the two, as JM's idea of ''riding'' is galloping and doing 'proper' jumps...well i think dressage has a bit more to it than that...and i have the impression that KP can actually ride (maybe not amazingly, but she can)...so im definitley with KP on this one.

although i do hate them both...:) lol xx
 
Who cares how well they do or don't ride, as long as they enjoy what they do, noone gets hurt and the horses are well treated. This outburst only makes Jodie appear bitchy - Katie would be advised to rise above such nasty backbitting.
 
Besides the point that they're both not the greatest, I guess that, according to JD, Dressage is not proper riding and that you can only ride if you jump???
Well, I have never jumped a fence in my life and I am not planning to, so does that mean that I cannot ride???
 
I can't beileve HHO are lowering themselves to print something from an interview from Zoo magazine!

Oh yes, and who really cares? Teh pair of them are tramps anyway! [ QUOTE ]

Couldn't have put it any better myself.
 
1) Who cares whether or not either of them can ride - hopefully neither will be picked to represent GB in any equestrian sport unless on merit, in which case, good for them. Otherwise, what's all the fuss about?
2) My personal interest is in eventing. However, I would not dream of suggesting that dressage is "not riding". In fact, doing dressage at a high level is every bit as challenging as jumping at a high level - it's just a different kind of riding. It also depends on your horse's talents/abilities and nature (does he/she enjoy jumping/dressage? Is he/she genuine? etc.) and on your own preferences, physical abilities and bravery. And I include dressage in bravery because I know people who will happily jump 4' plus SJ and XC but fall to pieces in a dressage arena with stage fright!

....And this kind of dumbing down and b***hing is exactly why KP is a bad thing for equestrianism. Don't give up your day job love.

Although to be fair to her, I was pleasantly surprised that, for once, she didn't get involved in a slanging match.

Yet.

I agree, all KP needs is a hat whereas JM needs a sports bra, some proper boots and a sodding hairnet! She might ride better if her heels weren't raised too!
Looks like a PR stunt on JM's part really, lets face it she has the cash so surely if she has taken up riding again to the point of 'galloping' and 'jumping' she's had more than one ride so would have bought herself some proper gear????

[/ QUOTE ]

I've just looked at the link above... really, who rides in a fake leather jacket (well, I presume it's fake as it looks like plastic!) with their t*ts hanging out?! I've always had respect for KP, until her recent behaviour, but I still prefer her to JM any day of the week. JM is a tramp - she looks cheap and she behaves that way. KP might be wearing pink (and needs to put a hat on) but at least she doesn't make riding her horse look like a glamour calendar shoot like JM does!

I wish someone would teach KP to ride with two reins properly though... she's just riding off the curb so no wonder the horse looks pi££ed off

Agree to some extent. But even those of us who'd consider ourselves competent riders wouldn't be able to ride the horses she's bought...... We simply wouldn't be up to the job. There's nothing harder to ride than some of these elite dressage horses.

Little green eyed monster wildfilly??

Well said LOL!!

I have been riding since I was 6, I'm nearly 25 now and have been lucky enough to ride some fantastic horses but I know I am nowhere near as good a rider as KP. I am insanely jealous! Guaranteed, if you put me on that lovely black horse of hers, I would look like a complete beginner

Jodie and Katie have always had spats ever since glamour girl days. The only new thing about this now is Katie isn't rising to the bait. Good on her.

Jodie looks rubbish as a result, but when you're already in the gutter I don't suppose you mind

Anyone can ride if they have the money to purchase a very expensive horse that has been trained well. Before she continues to big note herself about her riding I would love to see Katie Price be given a horse that needs training, not just a push button horse. Katie Price really needs to stop big noting herself and get real, its very easy to look good on a horse when everyone else has done the hard work, I wonder if she could even get her horse on the bit if it wasnt for the double bridles, and honestly wanting to go to the olympics give me a break its not a bloody freak show and thats what it would look like with that massive chest (im surprised she can even hold the rains). I have been horse riding all my life and live and compete in Australia, regarding her new horse clothes bussiness I dont know know about anywhere else but of I turned up to a competition witht the likes of Matt Ryan and if i turned up in bright pink gear and my horse had a bright pink rug we would be laughed out of the competition, but once again its all about Katie and what she likes, pls girl STOP giving equestrian such a bad name and go back to posing in the pubs

This is where I disagree with you... These highly trained horses are so sensitive to even a bum twitch..
 
'Glamour' girls such as Katie Price add nothing whatsoever to equestrian sport and all they do is annoy people like me! Indeed, one of the attractions of equestrian sport for me is the absence of people like Ms Price. Please, please H and H, don't give any more coverage to this awful woman! In one horse magazine, a reader wrote in to talk about the 'so-called celebrity influence the horse world has recently become a victim of.' The lady went on to write that she found it 'insulting that we have to endure them or see them advertise goods' and that 'As a rider of over 40 years experience (I) find it insulting that we are supposed ot be excited or impressed by the rposepct of celebrities..giving riding demonstrations.'I couldn't have put it better myself! There has to be some spehere of life in which one can escape the obsession with celebrity. Oh, and Ms Price in particular.
 
Just stumbled across this thread whilst looking for horses for sale... How it happened I do not know, anyhow, going to put my pennies worth in...

Say what you like about Katie Price but she's a fantastic business woman, regardless of what she does, good or bad, she makes money. She took the equestrian world by *coughs quitely and uses this term lightly* storm with her bright fluffy pink, blingy things and the TV show showing her riding. Yes she can afford top class horses and no maybe she doesn't contribute a huge amount to equestrianism but so what, she enjoys what she does, competes and brings media attention to a sport that is generally over-ruled by over paid, under worked men running around after a piece of leather and air. I've seen her ride on videos and I begrudge saying that I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet she rides. Good for her. For those saying that a good horse can make anybody look good, I'd like to see you attempt riding a highly tuned stressage horse. They sure ain't easy. If she enjoys doing what she does surely that doesn't make her as nay different to any of us on here. There will be a small minority of us that make it to top level competition, for the rest of us, it's just a dream, maybe that's her dream too. So famous or not, she's not a great deal different to you or I. Let her be.

I'm not going to comment on Jodie Marsh, I dislike her immensely. Not sure why, maybe it's because she's a wannabe and uses too much fake tan. Then again, perhaps I'm a hypocrite. :)
 
In all honesty JM sounds a tad jealous, so she decides to jump on a horse with her knockers out and "do some propper jumps".

The only thing on my mind is, if she went to do a "propper jump" (I'm assuming a 5ft oxer..:rolleyes:) wouldn't her knockers hit her in the face if they're hanging out like that?!

Anyway, I think KP is alright. Watched her improve over the years and she has come on in leaps and bounds. She has a lovely selection of horses too. Like all riders she strides to improve in a discipline she enjoys (Dressage). That doesn't mean JM should doubt her abilities in other spheres.
The only thing I don't enjoy about her is the amount of pink she wears on herself and her horses but each to their own.

Yes her day job is a glamour model, that is her career. Just like your daily office job. She has a hobby she enjoys which is equestrian, just like you. I don't think she should be slanted for her career choice. After all she is rolling in money.

I hope karma hits JM like a train, I can't imagine how put down KP must feel after reading something like that. It'd be the equivalent of someone watching you ride and just throwing plain rude comments at you.
