I think some of the more mature posters had worked out that you are a student, others of us have not been in that position for decades. If you were to make any adult comments I am sure that we would not be offended at all.

I think that some of the younger/newer members on here could perhaps take a step back and realise that this forum is frequented by a wide range of ages and abilities. If people post they may get replies which do not give them the answer they wish, but may well get answers which provide them with good advice.

Hi YorksG?
If this is what you mean about the newer members being respectful, i think you may need to communicate that to some of your more well established as well.
I have nothing disrespectful to add, because i am on this site to learn and to make a constructive contribution

Scales??? now thoroughly lost. Is that an attempt at humour? keep going and you'll get the concept soon!! lol
Sorry if adult comments offended anyone.
<font color="blue">What, did someone make one? </font>
Impressed at admission that is stage 3 etc which they are required to be upto date on, subtle aknowlegement that I'm not that wrong, noted and appreciated!!
<font color="blue"> Not sure what you are actually talking about here - BHS examiners are trained to pass candidates at the right standard and have a Chief examiner who approves the standards on the day. For candidates, however, you only have standard setting days available from Stage 3, PTT and above (as far as I know there isn't so much training at the lower levels). </font>
maybe we see things from different veiws based on gender, status (I'm student with 8 horses, so understand cost effectiveness!!), cost, locality, experience of bit**y horsey girls etc.
<font color="blue"> Or maybe not
Do you believe everything you read? </font>
Got to go and put my wobbly horse to bed and do it's physio

My wobbler is a horse with possible cervical stenosis.
are you actually here to make friends coz your doing a cracking job mate!!!!

Am intreged now, come on S what is your background i'd like to learn more? As i know nothing about horse exams etc, i just get on and ride.

Well, I'm a daemon from Hades...I collect souls of newbies where possible, although hell is a bit full just now.
I know nothing at all about horses and just wandered in here by mistake, believing it to be a knitting forum.
My other interests include flying at night, and taxidermy (my smiling family surround me as I type).
You?

QR,
I didn't mention respect, I was merely pointing out that if you post on an open forum you may not get replies which agree with you and it as well to accept that before you post. Posters who merely want people to agree with them, or who feel that people should agree with the OP will be disapointed on this forum. Also if posters are rude and/or make assumptions about other members they are likely to find that people will post in the same manner in reply to them. (I did not find your post rude at all, but others in this thread are verging on this)

Right, wobbler, massage. Going

Sadly, I like to direct those goth/emo self-harming urges outwards...in more of a sadistic fashion
. I am surprised you find me strange
...I think I'm the benchmark for perfect.
I don't fit in here at all...and in fact I think some of the Pope's crack new team of exorcists may have joined as newbies...
As a daemon, I tend not to be all that focussed on a social life, which is just as well when one is widely hated.
Will you be my friend?

errrrmmm ok!!!
well in cloud cockoo land I live in a dream house with a big menage, fields, stables, big house, pool, hot tub, and lots of horses.
Oh no what am i thinking that is reality.
I work in Beauty PR and compete my horses at weekends when i have time with my sis.
Never had many lessons, so is more about flying by the seat of my pants (they're pretty big by the way
) I do ok, we're not at olympia, but we do ok at county and regional stuff.
I def need some lessons so if you know anyone in the south lincs area who's available please send them my way.
Nice to meet you, am off to bed now. Happy thoughts in hades

You wear big pants? Won't you be thrown out of the beauty industry in disgrace?
Hades has a shortage of instructors at the moment...although plenty of lawyers and accountants, traffic wardens too...sounds like you don't need any lessons if you're happy.
If not, try looking up the BHS reg of instructors and/or the British Equine Directory for trainers in your area.
Night night.

Did some one make a post about girls at equine college being bit*** about people from non horsey backgrounds? I don't think we actually needed a practical demonstration, complete with some-one boasting about their wealth, did we?

Well, I managed not to make the obvious comment about menage a trois and hottubs....
Calico - you just sound tired and fed up - have a weekend at home and recharge - remember why you went to college - it is a means to an end and not a life sentence. Laugh at yourself if you can - pick yourself up and ride whatever beastie they give you with a smile. Don't let small things get in the way of the big things and don't quit!

hey, whoa, whoa! Go back and read my posts i made no mention of bitchy girls from any background, that was someone else. I did say there was no reason to be nasty to anyone.
Wealth what wealth? i have £50 in my bank account. I didn't say i owed the place, just that i live there. If S can talk about demons what wrong with swimming pools?
Please don't tar me with the same brush as everyone else, just because you're making asumptions.
Hey Heather how are you?
I know what you mean about people slating each others riding, but to be honest I dont know why you let it get to you, most do it, just rise above it I know I did when I was there.
I know I got slated to hell but I couldnt care.
The plods are usually the ones that teach you how to ride anyway chick. if you can get a plod going nicely then thats far better than being on something better.
Do you know when you are doing your stage one? I didnt like the attitude of some of the instructors there either and I know exactly who you are referring to.
Who is in your riding group now? I always got shouted at of pam I really dont think she liked me lol or Adele for that matter.
Just ignore them anyway you know what its like you havent got long left so you wont have to ride in these lessons after you finish.
