Never been so disguisted in my life

I think there are certain people that asssume that because that because you have something thats hairy and it lives out you must be up to no good and not looking after it. Some of these ponies are worth a lot of money,a lot more than the average TB.
Just because someone is 'well spoken', doesn't indicate good manners, unfortuately think sometimes its the exact opposite. I have a northern accent and therefore lots of people susume a] I am thick b] I am uneducated,c] and because I drive an old car, I must be broke. They are wrong on all counts. I love going against the norm but its a bit annoying to have to justify yourself to some plank.
 
Some people are just snobs, SO much 'better' than anyone else...

Unfortunately, this says more about THEM than YOU.

I've found the most badly behaved, hostile, rude and thick people are the supposedly 'well educated'...(and horsey)

Pigs.
 
Its great when he gets hay stuck in his tasch, once again i am amazed by the comments and how nice you hav all been welcoming me on here myold man was abit wary about me posting this after showing him he said and i quote "its this change and acceptance i love".

Mav uses his Tash to get women, when we take him out and about he always gts funny looks, poor sod

Nor does it mean they're honest. Some of the biggest thieves in the land have posh accents and high positions in society. Look at the scandal of the MPs expenses if in doubt.

Rileyboy, I'm sorry you're experiencing such stupid prejudice from your neighbours. :(
 
My spelling is rubbish i know, however like i said finished school with c's nd above just finishing school for a traveller is acomplishmnt :)
 
I shouldn't worry about it op. Not far from me there is a field owned by gypsies, & one owned by non gypsies. The non horsey locals always talk about 'the poor gypsy horses' who aren't looked after as well as the ones in the other field. What's highly amusing is when you ask them to identify 'the poor gypsy horses' they always point to the wrong field. Then go an amusing shade of red when you point out they have it the wrong way round.
I'm another that thinks its a cracking 'tache!
 
I love your skewbald, he's gorgeous. I'm glad your dad gave him a mouthful, I take people as I find them not on what other people say. I've had good and bad dealings with travellers, tbh mostly good, we've brought horses, a trailer and recently a very expensive mobile home to put on our land from one, I've never delt with such lovely professional people so you can't say all travellers are the same at all.
 
Wow, what lovely horses.

I am a cob convert, looking after two youngsters till they are older enough to start work, after some equines I have had in past............. they have such lovely temperaments, and are so calm and easy to handle.

I love grooming the 'my little pony' - manes and tails and feathers and lovely thick glossy coats, non horsey DIL wanted to join in when she visited!!
 
Back off folks, it was Tongue in cheek, it was funny.
I have great respect for most travellers horse knowledge and actually get on well with the ones I know.
It was a bit of fun, get it?

That's quite normal lol :) And there are a number of people on here who clearly consider themselves highly educated yet have no manners :(

RileyBoy I think it's great you've come on here and posted pics of your horses :)
 
My dad has tried to hack Mavs tash off at one point, to which i threatend him with havin' his hair shaved off ! He is a ffunny chap.

Oh i love my cobs, it really angered me tht he accused us of abusing them. They are spoilt rotton

Thanks everyone !
 
:O I WANT your red and white cob!! He is an absolute beauty! Don't take any notice of him op, I know it's infuriating but you know your horses are well looked after (and they certainly look it) and that's all that matters.

You wld have to fight me for him ! he follows me about like a dog, bites peoples bums and farts in faces. He is fantastic, a little bugger to catch tho, so i guess you would hav to catch him first :)
 
You're not the first person to be accused of being cruel for not rugging your horses. It happens all the time by people who know nothing about horses. Should not judge people until you've taken the time to get to know them. Take no notice and carry on loving your beautiful horses :)

He caught my eye too. Really lovely markings - with the patch over his eye, he looks like a pirate. :D :cool:
 
Welcome to the infamous HHO, your horses are beautiful and I think it's great to have all sorts of people on here - will be fascinating to hear from different walks of life. Please post more!
 
I wldnt rug them up, they are balls of fuzz at the moment and if i did with all the goofing about they get up to they would end up ripped in a matter of hours.
 
I love the mare and foal in the first pic. Is it my ancient eyes or has foalie got one white and one coloured ear? Gorgeous anyway.

Only thing I disagree on is the moustache!! (Sorry!) I once bought a cob with one like it and the first thing I did was clip it off, it was always grubby with bits of food in and he used to wipe it all over you.............yuk!
 
Your horses are gorgeous. I think some people are very narrow minded and think all horses should be rugged, its simply not true. My traditional mare is living out unrugged 24/7, she has come in for a rare night in tonight but am sure this plonker would not approve of my keeping my mare out unrugged in all weathers either :eek: Some people have no idea :rolleyes:
