Isn't it just...
I could also, if I didn't think it was terribly bad manners, post comments that several posters on this thread have made about the OP on fb. Oh no, wait, I couldn't, as HHO doesn't allow abusive posts and blatant bullying behaviour

Adorable Alice one of my fave posters - but what a hijack!!. I'm not on facebook (and won't be on the foreseeable future) so I'm not an 'Armas' follower. Jeez Louise, can someone explain to me why it was necessary to unearth older/advertising vids of Armas? To prove what point exactly? That he was green/rubbish (it has been said by FF) lame/not fit for his job/not a good representation for the stud? Wow ... sorry if I repeat myself, but unless I'm on the ground with that horse and not seeing him pretty much 24 hours I'll limit myself to what I know (no certs required
It doesn't matter, it is extremely bad forum etiquette to quote someone's full name. I am also pretty sure it is against the HHO forum t&c's as plenty people have been infracted/banned for doing it in the past.
it was me who first posted the link to the old videos. I actually stumbled across them while seeing if I could find a stud page to ogle pretty horses and just thought they were interesting in terms of comparison because he looked so different and we have rather been invited to watch this horses' training from day 1
(the new smilies are rubbish!). I know they are different but he's a different horse entirely now too imo. I think Spring Feather likened him to a riding school horse (forgive if I'm wrong) and also someone quoted 'If you ask nothing from me, I won't offer in return' or something similar? I suspect from SF's (very modest) description about her horses being schooled for absolute beginners, they would be able to turn their hooves to anything if needs must. What am I saying .. I think I'm saying that (breed/training notwithstanding), I don't see a switched off horse, or an unhappy horse. I see a horse that is concentrating and struggling with that training, but I don't see a sour animal that others have seen - rightly or wrongly. Lameness? The only thing I thought that was funny was his duckwalk at the beginning of the last vid. If I was to stick my neck out I'd say it was his near stifle that was a problem.
Yes, I know you did and I know he edited it. You could have, however removed his name or asked his permission.
I know a lot of us on here are on those pages, but James had a choice of whether to allow us access to his name when he chose to add or accept us as friends. That is a choice you decided to take away from him.
I have just realised that in quoting you I have kept his name public so I will remove that and perhaps Amaranta would like to do the same. Would you be able to remove it from your post? You may not be able to edit now...don't know what the timeframe is for that, perhaps mods will have to do it if James wants it done...I don't know, I can't speak for him.
I had issue with you posting the comment Purple...just the name
Edited to say....I can't edit my quoted post now so will PM admin and see if they can do it. Damn my non technically minded and crap little brain:0
I think it would be if someone wanted to remain very anonymous e.g - you - no idea who you are never seen a pic you have posted - you could be anyone - you seem to talk sense that is all I know. I knew James's full name from the endless posts and links to FB pages that he has made over the years - it's hardly a big secret is it?
Ever since I knew his name I have always imagined him as the geeky Norman Tuttle from the TV series Streethawk
Sorry James
P.s the sparkly Pinot Grigio has gone to my head slightly

Hi, My name is Cheryl Bray and my youtube link is available as have posted videos on here before of me riding and cake decorating. My Justgiving page is in my name too.
I see no point in hiding behind anonymity if you want to ever help people. I think it is best to be completely transparent.
Still thing it is just pure good manners and respectful to allow people to choose when their names are displayed. Being available through clicking links is a bit different. Well, IMO it is anyway but hey ho.
I get what you're saying.
Oh...and I may be vaguely sensible on here most of the time but I can assure you I am a complete nutcase!!! :smile3:
I know...it wasn't until I mentioned it to you that I realised I had made it permanently visible by quoting you...DOH!!!!!
Stoopid me. Oh well, I let James know I couldn't edit so he can ask Admin if he wants it gone
Hi there, yes you're right, the horses I produce for the local market are all AQHA horses, they're all well bred working cattle horses and yes they all are capable of ranch work but if I taught them all the cues to work cattle my buyers wouldn't be able to stay on them. Trained working quarter horses are incredibly sensitive off the leg and of course that would be totally counter to what novicey riders would want so I dull down this sensitivity and never ever teach them cues to have them spin on a dime ... although that could produce some kaleidoscopic results I'm sure for some people :biggrin3: As I say though I have had some who couldn't do the novice rider route so I keep them for myself as this type of horse works well for me :smile3:I know it was you
I wouldn't worry about it. I know James' full name, so do loads of people on here. James posted it on here before and he's had links to his business on here so that's how I knew his name.
