It was advertising Channel 4 (I think), she and a few other celebs, including Kirsty & Phil, Heston, Amanda (yuk) Holden and Piers Morgan turn up at some ramdom bloke's house.

Yeah I saw that. Ha I love how she just hands the hat back after that and goes off, if that was me Id be there for another 2 hours loading ponio, finally get home, groom him, muck out..... you get the idea?

Riiiiight so get on horse, gallop a couple of times, get off horse, give horse and hat to staff and then p!ss off.

Hardly a good advert for horse ownership is it?!

It's NOT an advert for horse ownership though is it? It was merely a job for her - she was acting... would you expect Russell Crowe to get off his horse mid-film and go and wash it down and put it away? No... The horse probably wasn't hers anyway it will've been part of the set...

Honestly it makes me laugh how bitter people get on this forum

yes, quite!

adverts for nappies don't show ten tonnes of sh!t squirting up the babies back...
 
lol....if this were anyone but Katie Price there wouldn't be a problem with it. People woud be saying how nice the horse was or something like that.

Why do people get so bothered by the fact that KP doesn't do her own mucking out?
 
I don't recall Russell Crowe riding at HOYs, and yakking on about horses?

I appreciate it isn't an advert for horse ownership, my point is as a 'horsewoman' you would expect her to be a bit more involved in it. She was the same when she did her dressage test, handing the horse over and leaving. There are young girls who look up to her an I don't feel this is that responsible, it makes it look like there is no effort involved when we all know that on a normal budget this isn't the case.

It isn't about 'being bitter' it's about having an opinion...
 
Gah! This is so ridiculous! What is it about this woman? I don't care that she doesn't do her own mucking out, I only do weekends myself.

My point was that part of her horsey PR portrays her as some sort of Mary King when she just isn't!

Am not going to discuss her any further, I do not like her and I am not going to waste any more time on the woman!
 
She has enough money to ensure her horses are cared for and that's the most important bit. Advert was abit confusing and didn't like how she just jumped off and didn't even pat horse- but as above - it's just another job for her.
 
At least she admitted she wasnt going to make it to the olympics yesterday
grin.gif


oh and nice horse! though I would def have wanted to keep going longer

OK she doesn't need to loosen the girth or anything. But you should at least give the horse a pat whan you get off!
 
She does seem to be saying sorry to the person she hands the hat too though....maybe she was late for another appt?? Like seeing her kids or something?

Still don't really like her, but that's just cause she's so plastic

Yep, iirc filming was way, way behind schedule and hence she was incredibly late getting on her way.

OMG. She's such a cheap slag, what an awful career choice she has made, silly bint. Peter is suuuuuch a good father. Can't believe she doesn't take care of her own kids/horses.

OMG. No hat/bodyprotector/jodhs/black boots? What a bad role model.
She's causing the downfall of the country/equestrianism.

No I'm not jealous. I learnt to ride and worked my way to the top by not just paying for flashy horses, she's a disgrace.


Think I've covered most things that come up. Feel free to bitch about anything I've missed.

But why on earth would you expect her to be "a bit more involved"? It's an advert for a TV package. Surely you don't expect them to have a 10 min educational video in the middle where KP shows kids how to groom their pony or untack?

I cannot understand why people are getting so annoyed about this, it's just a TV advert. It's not an ad for KP herself, or for her clothing line, it's for a TV channel. IIRC, there are other sporting celebs on there too... would you expect, say, a rugby player to wash his kit half way through the ad, just to show kids that rugby players don't just have clean kit handed to them on a plate, they have to wash it between games you know. Of course you wouldn't.

It's just a TV advert. And it's not something that kids will avidly watch and try to copy.

Bizarre.

Don't forget how bad her clothing line is, I wouldn't want my daughter dressed in that cheap, trashy crap. It might make her turn out like KP (who, much as I dislike her, is actually a v astute and successful business woman...)

She's also a terrible rider, and person generally, so should hand all of her horses over to Andrew Gould to rider permenantly.

I think that probably covers it now

I'm not a KP fan but I don't see anything wrong with this ad at all, its appropriate for the context its set in. I rather like these multi - celeb ads tbh.
 
I'm not a massive fan of her but I don't understand the vitriol and bitchiness towards her horse related activities. It's maybe not exactly how we'd like to see the equestrian world potrayed but if it's gets Joe Public interested it might just get us more TV coverage like back in the good old '70's when Showjumpers were household names.

I have seen that clip before, the horse isn't hers it's provided by the company filming the ad, she was rushing off and filming was behind schedule. Her own horses are given the best of care and attention - even if it's not by her, plenty on here have their horses on full livery - glass houses and stones imo!
 
what a small world. jst seen my friend in that video, the blonde who was singing. she does katie's hair and is good friends with her. i see nothing wrong with the woman and cant see why people give her such a hard time. she's jst a woman, who loves horses and riding and has enough money to do just what she likes. wouldn't we all love to afford lessons with the top riders, buy the top horses, pay top staff??? but you kinda hve to work darn hard to be able to earn enough money in the first place. she's a woman who does whatever it takes, good luck to her. i know where she's coming from.
