Shamelessly judgemental thread!

People getting cross about the wrong things when there are worse things happening to get mad about.

Common sense where human satisfaction is the be all and end all.

Judgemental threads as I am always right, others just dont realise it.
 
People who ask for help/advice and then dismiss every single suggestion. Happens both here and in real life. IRL I was asked a few months ago about a pony who was too strong going XC. I suggested either a pelham or Dr Bristol (I know the rider and she's a decent little rider with good hands). Offered to lend them either to try out. Oh no, was the reply, pony wouldn't like them. How do they know without trying? Every suggestion everyone made was turned down. Pony is still tanking off.
 
I am too lazy to judge other as I get judged all the time! My horses my way and same to others. I dont like bits that dont fit correctly nor bits that are too low in the horses mouth but I dont say anything but if I had to pick a peeve thats it!
 
I have a few :D
People who have kept horses for five minutes, maybe done a 'course' and then know all there is to know, while having overweight badly behaved horses (oh and the family members of same people who think they have learnt it by osmosis!)
Sanctimonious posters on here, who will write any old rubbish to try and support a silly point of view, after they have roundly corrected by a fair few posters :p
People who believe that shows should go ahead whatever the ground conditions, and that others should put in the work, even though it is beyond obvious that the ground will not hold up!
I think that is enough for now :D






s
 
Lazy stable management
Experts that aren't experts
Horsey people that just see to lack complete common sense (there are a lot)!!!
 
People who keep thier horses locked up,
People who use harsh bits instead of schooling their horse correctly and
People who shoe their horses then dont call the farrier imediatly when ones hanging off!

My List:

Horses without turnout or companionship!!
Leaving horse without forage for hours (he is fat so can only have one section of hay overnight!!!)
Rolkuer
Riding without a hat
Riding in draw reins (or any other similar device) when not experienced enough to use them.
Flash straps.
Hitting a horse in the face/round the head.
Not having a qualifed saddler fit your saddle.
Flinging the girth over horses back when tacking up so the buckles bang legs.
Pulling a horse forwards with the reins when leading with a bit in.

OOOOH blimee i am a miserable old woman!! I could go on and on and on and on.......

Yep, agree with all of the above.
 
people who have horses on diy livery and only bother to come down once a day. horse is left with no forage for 12 hours stood in crap. nice. The owner then throws the horse in the arena to gallop around, turf the school up and break the fences. All because they can't be bothered coming up twice.
People who overfeed their horses.
People who ride with no hat.
Yard know-it-alls
People who don't turnout
Clueless people.
People who insist on riding in every single piece of tack going.
People yanking on horses mouths 'to get their head in'
 
There's a few people on my local horsey FB page that drive me nuts, always looking for horses to loan which are returned right quick and with no warning or a trailer to borrow, or someone to take them somewhere, or they've run out of hay, or need a new yard every other week, it's always the same people... it makes me think they're not very reliable, which is terribly judgmental of me

This one is hard to explain but when you hear someone tell a story about a horse they had or rode or whatever and you were there and know what went on and it really doesn't match what they're saying so you judge that either you have early onset dementia or they're perhaps not always truthful

This one is going to make me sound like a total beyotch now but here goes... people who have chronic health issues or who have young children and keep horses on DIY and struggle to cope with say 1 horse, everyone has to help them out a lot, that part I don't mind, life is like that sometimes, but what makes me judgey is when they then go and get ANOTHER horse, even when they can't cope with the one they have.
 
People who know nothing about racing and riding trying to tell me and others about riding like their yogi breisner.

The sun and daily fail trying to establish themselves as 'racing newspapers' just no.

People riding w/o hats

People who blame their horses

People who let their horses get away with murder

Other things people have already mentioned :D
 
Mine go out in the school at the moment while I muck out with the weather being so bad, never broke any fences and I go down twice a day though.

Judgmental people (especially when they don't know the full story)
Opinions that aren't asked for
People who put down other riders and knock their confidence on purpose
People who slag off any riders who aren't affiliated
People who do 'a bit of teaching' with naturally means nobody else on the planet knows what they're on about and us mortals should all bow down
People who think they're the next best thing (just because you own a kingsland jacket doesn't mean you're sponsored by them)
Yard politics

Sorry, my post should have said turn out in school and do that when fields/turnout/weather is perfectly fine because they are too lazy to do otherwise. :)
 
Kids responding to adverts for my Ex-racer for loan or my exspensive shetlands, asking 30,000 questions and putting on the end - I will have to ask mum/dad though ...


AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Some of us occasionally get called judgemental when we comment on some topics that are regularly discussed. Whilst I maintain that horse welfare is the reason for virtually all of my arguments, I admit that there are one or two topics on which I am judgemental, but I think, justifiably so. My own bugbears relating to horses are:

Keeping horses alone (I don't mean individual turnout here).
People who are too heavy to ride their horses (but they ride them anyway).
Allowing horses to drop too much weight in winter (as a lazy way to counter the summer gorging, or at least using this as an excuse :rolleyes:)
Over feeding on starchy hard feed
Allowing horses to get fat.

So what are yours?

Pretty much yours...esp the over weight riders, keeping horses on their own and the starchy hard feed!!!!!

Stupid people. There's a plethora on here at the moment.

Aye, my brain explodes reading some threads trying to work out why on earth some people think what they think, say what they do, feel what they feel. The reasons and excuses they come up with... honestly some threads have had my brain turning to mush trying to understand the rational and reasoning of some posters... let alone their sanity:p
 
Yard know-it alls who deliberately discuss things loudly so the allegedly offending minding their own business livery can hear "I can't see the need to put a horse out when it is raining heavily" or "I do like to see a tidy mane and tail ..can't abide an unpulled mane" - just SHUT UP no one else cares what you think!

And to balance tghings out a bit .....Thin bony riders who are as stiff as boards and look terrible in jodphurs that are meant for real women with thighs and a bum :D.
 
Breeders. Those who breed distorted horses to show, those who breed because they "want to", those who breed with no thought for the foal's future life and then moan when they can't sell.

Also those who blame their horses. So often it is the rider's fault but no the horse is the one who gets labelled as "dangerous".
 
Cruelty;
Ignorance;
Inability to move forwards in the equine world;
People who say they'll come to ride your other horse then come so late that you've done all the work including tacking up;
People ditto who don't turn up at all (I thought it was too cold/wet/windy to ride) - yes so did I if you'd phoned we could have cancelled it;
People who know you only really 'do' hacking who ask 'What are you going to DO with him/it/her?
Many of the other things already mentioned on here.
 
People who when they tack up their horses for lunging fit side reins - or whatever is the latest "gadget of the day" - really short before leaving the stable. They then take the poor horse out with its chin tied to its chest, gallop it round on the lunge for a while then bring it back into the stable, still in tight side reins. A few days later they're asking if anyone knows of a good back man because for some strange reason the horse isn't right in its back. Hmmmmmm!
 
People who tell others how they should be looking after/riding their horses when they quite clearly haven't the first idea themselves.

Wet people (and I don't mean those who have been caught in the rain!)
 
Can i add one? People who lump all breeders in the saem boat. Not everyone is discriminatly breeding...some of us (a lot of us) take a lot of time assess the mare, the stallion and ensure they have the funds and facilities to help. :)
 
Wow! Has this thread grown fast ! :D

Is there room for one more.. Damn it I'm doing it anyhow :D

Those who ALWAYS blame others (or other's horse) for Everything that happens and will never ever ever say 'Sorry, it was my fault' :mad::mad:

There ye are.. Carry on :D
