Linked to the showing post! Whats the worst comment someone has made about your horse?

Mine is a man who called her flat backed and said she wouldnt make anything special...to my yearling! Someone on here trying to cheer me up told me someone told them their horse looks like a duck!!!!

xxx
 
Hmmm nothing really tbh!

Only comment on B is that he looks like a fitness hippy from the 80's with his 'headband' when he's wearing his crib collar. Haha bless him.
 
Not directly to me but to a judge at a dressage comp i was at about my horse loud enough so i could hear every bit of it on how my horse was lame in class (not true she did trip thats about it) and how i had buted her up to ride and that i had been told that the horse should be put down. Again not true yes horse has spavins however is sound and happy not on painkillers and the women didnt like the fact that we got placed. This was a ex instructor of us as well.
 
Not about my horses conformation but when my horse was on box rest with laminitis and we wern't sure if she was going to make (she didn't) one of the other liveries said I should have her PTS if I couldn't ever ride her again as horses shouldn't just be out in the field. This was coming from a lady who's horses where ten years younger than mine and never got ridden, both where as fat as barrells. My friend nearly decked her! I just had no words, how insensitive to say that, I never spoke to her again after that.
 
Many years ago one of the girls I satbles with brought her partner up. She was explaining to him whos horses were whos. She got to mine and said that black and white one over there belongs to me (had to keep it simple). He responded by saying 'what the one that looks like a cow?' I know it was because of the obvious colour association, but couldn't help being secretly outraged!!
 
I got told that he is the skinniest TB the woman has ever seen (considering in the stable next to him was a TB that had a very bad winter and was skin and bone :( but looks 100x better now!). She also said his feet were absoloutely shocking, even though everyone else i asked said his feet were very well looked after, no cracks, just perfect.. Oh and she said that i'm too heavy for him, that my legs are too fat and im far too hefty to be riding him. Heres a picture of me on him, do i look 'too hefty' for him to you? Bearing in mind, i do have a baggy tshirt on :P

Oh and she also said very very nasty things about my friends new show hack, who is in spot on condition, very well looked after! She was saying things like her neck was upside down, too much muscle on the bottom from being overbent?!? Shes NEVER overbent, she works lovely.
Im thinking its jealousy? :D
 
My daughter took her 4yr old hunting which he found quite exciting, she was told 'he would only ever be good for dog meat!' She was 14 and managed him extremely well, this is the same horse who now at just turned 6 came 8th in his first BE90 on sunday.
 
A little lad once ran up to me when I was bringing Fizz out the field yelling 'donkey, donkey look dad it's donkey'

Apparently he'd been watching Shrek 2 earlier in the day and thought Fizz looked like donkey when he had been turned into the white stallion. That was his dad's explanation anyway!

lolllll
 
A chap I couldn't STAND at the old yard regularly told me that Genie was an 'ugly g!t'. A chap at the new yard regularly says that she's going into horseburgers - he's only joking but I must admit that I have told him in no uncertain terms that I do NOT want to hear him say that about her ever again, especially as she does better than his cob!
 
told by a woman 'hes got big ears hasnt he?'

(erm,no, they arent excessively big, youre just a ***)

and another horse, after being an ar$e for the farrier (who incidentaly i sacked, as he was an ar$e) said 'gypsies wouldnt bother nicking it..'
 
Someone at my old yard used to call my horse fat all the time and once shouted across the arena when I turned up to do some schooling (with loads of people present) "The burgers are here, get the BBQ out" :( !!
 
when mine had a really bad accident a few months after i got her, i was told, this is your chance to get her pts and get the insurance money!

That she would kill me so best to get foal out of her and then send her for meat!

7 years on and we are both still here :D
 
Gosh, how long have you got? :D

Apart from the usual, which he quite rightly deserves might I add

errrr oh that he's got curbs and bog spavin :rolleyes: never heard anything so comical in my life, one person said it (god knows why) next thing this woman who I don't even know from Adam met me riding and said oh is this the one with curbs, I'm like nope :confused: and you are? :confused:
 
When I posted the 1st ever picture of Little Stig I am fairly sure one poster believed him to be a goat........ forgivable though I guess!
 
not about my horse, but about a friends horse when she was trying to sell him "I wouldnt touch him with a bargepole...he's mentally unstable"

the person he said it to totally ignored them and bought him anyway
 
im feeling bad i was miffed about someone saying my horse had big ears now...i thought she was rude but there are some shocking rude people out there!
 
A girl who used to be at my yard referred to Zoom as 'that one-eyed thing' :(

The first time we went hunting, an old man on a big hunter said 'what a funny little horse' and that was on her good side!!!
 
Of my old coloured mare when going off to stud - "why are you breeding that? **** breeds ****."

Im sure awful things were said about Sunny when I couldnt hear, but hey ho....was told that Melly was insane and I shouldnt touch her with a bargepole, I was also told that I was an ar*e as I hogged her and clipped her right out...because Fells dont get clipped or hogged....why? Anyway, they wont accept she IS a Fell, so I can hog her!!!

My farrierr regularly tells me to tape her mouth shut as shes too fat, even though each time he see's her she has lost weight!! Oh, this is funny tho, apparantly, "nags like that get fat licking moss off rocks" :p love it :p
 
When we first got him someone told us that he was the ugliest horse they had seen... well a 2 and a half year old that was so thin you could see most of his bones, had lice, ringworm, worms and more along with dreadlocks in his mane is hardly going to look nice is he? Oh and a lady had a right go at me because she told me he was dangerous and should be shot asap (he had spooked whislt tied up so pulled away and was young and learning) her horse was the only one no one else would go near because of his temper! Also had the regular ''why do you have him when he has an eye condition?'' lol what i've said probably makes him sound awful but he's definitely not!
 
The breeder (showing yard) of my arab at New Years Day Meet

" 'Someone' mentioned that they thought Ali was looking thin when they saw him out last week" Hmmm, someone eh?

:eek: No S**t Sherlock! He'd been hunting all winter and was as fit as a flea. Put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day and thoroughly ruined a good days hunting.:mad: Of course, compared to a pig fat arab in show condition he was admittedly a bit lithe, I'll give her that.:)

Same person heard through the grapevine (much elaborated) when I'd had him pts and phoned me up ranting and raving that I should have given, given, him back to her instead of just having him shot when I didn't want him anymore. Nothing like having all the facts to hand before blundering in all guns blazing :rolleyes: and she had nothing like the facts ;)
 
Tom our coloured cob often gets called a cow, mostly by the public at large when out hacking! lol Also once when out hacking with my daughter, myself on Sapphire and her on Tom, a little girl of about 6 cycled past and said of Tom "Oh, I don't like cart horses!!!!" This was before he was clipped out and hogged. I wet myself but daughter was far from amused. hehe
 
I remember a girl came to see my pony when she was for sale. The pony was forward going and green, so we got a riding instructor to ride her for us to show her off. The girls dad said they would just take her without the girl having a ride or even touching the pony. The riding instructor then told us she had taught the girl before and there was no way she could handle Lady. My mum then phoned the girls dad and said she didnt think Lady was the pony for them as she was too forward going.

Last year I was at a show with Lady (we ended up keeping her) as she came over to me on this big bay warmblood and said "Thats the psycho pony I came to see, isn't it? It should be put to sleep" :mad: We then went into the 80cm jumping class (the girl was in it too) and won, whilst she was eliminated for too many refusals!:D She goes to the same school though, don't enjoy meeting her in the corridors :(
 
when i first got zak I was told he looked like a wild cow, horrible small nasty eyes that look like they were watching you where ever you went. He also got called a mannerless thug, an elephant and talentless and that I should definately sell him as he would always be too much horse for me and wouldnt be worth the effort. Tbf when I look back I can see why people said it (definately not the best looking horse) we did eventually make them eat there words though :-)

People can be so rude, wonder how they would react if you dared to denigrate their precious little nags though.:rolleyes:

I suppose the 'looks like a cow' description for a coloured is fair really, I had a black and white pony that used to escape all the time into a field full of steers, took ages to spot him in with the herd. I often describe my Paint as looking like a Hereford cow with her big white face and blue eyes.:) The worst anyone can do then is agree with me:D

An "expert" once told my daughter about her pony that "only his mother could love him" when he was about four years old. The same pony won double in the show ring what we paid for him and was actually placed first under the "expert".
