Regionals here we come!! Fig BD report!

[cptrayes]

I am really pleased for you, you've done brilliantly with him. Please do not take this the wrong way, it is genuine concern. Unless you are lucky enough to come from a family of string beans, or have been ill (in which case please forgive me) I would be very concerned about your own weight.

Congratulations again on qualifying, especially with such terrific scores.

So does this come under the banner of constructive criticism?

If NMT was overweight, would you say the same thing?

 

[nikkimariet]

Brilliant well done He is looking super

Thanks

Thank you, I am really chuffed with him!

As for the rest - completely inappropriate.

 

[JFTDWS]

Wow he looks amazing! *cries inside if that's what your position looks like on a bad day* Very well done on the results though!

I was called over by a judge on one of Fergs first outings as a baby. Never having done much dr I didn't realise it was the done thing and I genuinely thought I was going to get a proper pasting for something It's happened a few times since and I think in F's case it's more shock at seeing a highland poncing down here than anything else. He doesn't look a fraction of the horse Fig does


btw my friend was trying out a just broken 3 year old on Saturday, sat on literally a handful of times by one person. Cat enters stage right. 17hh of baby draft horse trots on ignoring it. Cat stands its ground anticipating spook. I hold my breath. Youngster keeps on trotting. Cat runs away in terror and only just in one piece. I have never seen anything like it. Mine would have freaked!

Im really shocked by what youve just said CPT, I know that things do not some across on line as you would if stood talking to the person, but as a proper string bean myself having comments thrown at me like this over the years, I know how it feels to be on the recieving end.

 

[Ferdinase514]

Brilliant! So pleased for you

And as for your weight....eat some lard you skinny bi**h

 

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

innapropriate doesnt even cover it.

and FYI, although bigger than NMT, im tall and slim, brother is tall and slim, mum and dad both tall and slim, all except one grandparent are tall and slim, all nieces and nephews tall and slim, all genes in the T family are tall/slim but WHY NMT should have to defend herself i dont know.

Ridiculous, and mannerless.

 

[caitlineloise]

Well done, they are some impressive scores! I really like him, he's very sweet! I really enjoy yours and your sisters threads and drooling over your ponies!

Also wanted to add I do feel sorry for you and PS sometimes, doesn't seem like many of your threads stay on topic

 

[AmyMay]

Ridiculous, and mannerless.

I would be flattered that someone is concerned enough about your wellbeing to mention it........ cptrayes obviously meant no offense.

 

[sam-b]

Well done! Seems crazy that you posting about your qualification turns to a conversation about your weight...

That is SO inappropriate! Fig and NM look gorgeous and have achieved fantastic results in a short space of time, and done well enough to qualify for the Regionals, which is a great achievement, lets keep this on topic for gods sake. NM - are your stirrup irons JIN?

 

[Ferdinase514]

Just looking again at the pics (anything to avoid actually finishing my MBA assignment) and he looks so much better mscle and condition wise

Also, back on topic of stirrups - do you have link to somewhere selling them? Might have some budget left this month...

 

[monkeybum13]

I'm sorry but the comment about the OPs weight is completely inappropriate.

If you were worried about someone having an eating disorder (how you can tell that from a few pictures and now knowing the person is beyond me!) then airing it on an open forum is not the right way to go.
The OPs sister is also slim so yes, it probably does run in the family!

I do not know the OP but I think the comment was rather strange. Would you have made the same comment about an overweight rider?

NMT - Fig looks better and better in every set of photos. Good luck at regionals. Would love to seem some videos too!

WOW How inappropriate? And so so rude to post publicly, PM would have been better if you have a real concern? If I was NikkiMarieT I would be pretty upset about this.

Again, SO rude.

 

[TiddlyPups]

Just to add, Fig looks very smart - you must be over the moon with those results.

Haha!!! Thanks Honestly felt like I was perching and not actually sitting on/using my seat Aww I love Fergles!!

Lmao at your encounter with the cat!

Brilliant! So pleased for you

And as for your weight....eat some lard you skinny bi**h

Thanks I'm having a big fat bi**ch curry tonight if that counts?!

Well done, they are some impressive scores! I really like him, he's very sweet! I really enjoy yours and your sisters threads and drooling over your ponies!

Thank you very much He is such a sweetie, just so genuine.

It's probably one of the more bizarre comments I've received!

I would be flattered that someone is concerned enough about your wellbeing to mention it........ cptrayes obviously meant no offense.

No amymay. If cptrayes was genuinely 'concerned', she should would have used her brain and private messaged me. The whole drama has left a really sour taste.

Well done! Seems crazy that you posting about your qualification turns to a conversation about your weight...

Thanks What next I wonder?!

That is SO inappropriate! Fig and NM look gorgeous and have achieved fantastic results in a short space of time, and done well enough to qualify for the Regionals, which is a great achievement, lets keep this on topic for gods sake. NM - are your stirrup irons JIN?

Thank you I still can't believe I'm going to the Regionals Yes they are Jin irons, I love them to bits; so super light helps keep my wild right leg under control!

Just looking again at the pics (anything to avoid actually finishing my MBA assignment) and he looks so much better mscle and condition wise

Also, back on topic of stirrups - do you have link to somewhere selling them? Might have some budget left this month...

Tut tut... Funny you should say that - even my (epitome of non horsey) dad commented how much he's changed. Although...he did at first think Fig and CS were the same horse....so who knows

Remember, BD only allow the boring colours!

Didn't you get the memo? It's okay to tell someone they're 'really skinny' but not ok to tell someone they're 'really fat'!!

Thank you so much - I endeavour to pin down PS for some videobitching!

WOW How inappropriate? And so so rude to post publicly, PM would have been better if you have a real concern? If I was NikkiMarieT I would be pretty upset about this.

Again, SO rude.

Just to add, Fig looks very smart - you must be over the moon with those results.

My thoughts exactly!....Mayyyyyybe....Fig getting fatter is making me look thinner?

And thank you I am still absolutely beaming!

 

[Laafet]

Well done both of you, am very jealous, we still dream of those sorts of scores and are not aiming at regionals yet and certainly not considering it looking at how fab yours looks!

 

[alwaysbroke]

Wow! great result congratulations

 

[Tr0uble]

Ooh I know...you should wear a fat suit and an ugly mask...I dare you! :-D get a bling fat suit? Diamanté encrusted ass pads?

I think I took it too far? :-D

Obviously I am kidding (mostly, I still Think it would be funny!)

Maybe, once wearing a fat suit that makes NikkiMarieT weigh 20st cptrayes will view her as an acceptable weight!?

 

[Tr0uble]

Exactly!

 

[CreepyKikiKev]

Well done fab scores!

I think Fig would keel over, he's only little!!!!

 

[nikkimariet]

Well done fab scores!

Hello stranger!! Thanks CKK

 

[TiddlyPups]

I think Fig would keel over, he's only little!!!!

But you wouldn't look skinny

 

[JFTDWS]

Now that would be funny I was thinking of getting a horsey fat suit to take Fergles showing in

 

[olop]

Lovely pics & congrats on the qualification, you must be well chuffed.
I cant believe someone commented on your size in the pics, what a heartless thing to say, absolutely gobsmacked for you hun. Hoping all the lovely comments you have had outweighs the negativity in that post xx

 

[nikkimariet]

But you wouldn't look skinny

*snort*

Thank you! Over the moon with him, will be smiling for weeks I think!

They do by far Funny really, because anyone who knows me is aware that I'm a right greedy guts!!

 

[Kallibear]

Congratulations Uber jealous (of your horse, of course, but also your facilities ). Can I come and live with you?

I did notice your saddle too. I have problems with my hips (lax ligaments means they crunch and nerves can get compressed) and have found unbalanced saddles really kill them, esp when they're too low in front Pink's saddle sat too low in front (stupid apparently-master-saddler :grr: ) and I was in agony after riding her (and sometimes during: there was times when I had to throw myself off to relieve the shooting nerve pain from my hips A raiser pad (then eventually a new saddle) made the world of difference.

Thanks Haha as long as your horse is balded and clean at all times

*nods* I've had to do the ninja chuck self off move before! Saddle man coming out shortly, I imagine saddle does move a little as Fig changed shape so so drastically Current saddle is Bates Innova which is by far the saddle I've felt most comfortable and stable in so far, trounces everything else!
