Pedantic Scientist ?? More like an annoying fat know-it-all old trout. Sorry AC I just had to say it.
Nothing like resorting to personal insults when you have nothing useful to add!

To be honest Ffion most people merge into one on this thread....unfortunately. Little help to anyone, especially the OP.
Right, obviously you have quality peer reviewed statistical evidence for this information.
You're a right charmer aren't you, which stone did you crawl out from?
Sorry JFTD turns out I am older than you thought too, and likely fatter (you know I know most things so we can get over that bit at least) will you still have me?
No she's in a LTR with me.
This is the only post on this thread that has moved me to comment.
I'm devastated.
It's an open relationship. Plenty of me to go round
(literally :eek3: )
To eat me? :eek3:
Whilst I've not always agreed with OP's approach to SOME things, I cannot help but cringe when I see EVERY thread of hers descend into the same childish bullying from so called 'intellectual' posters, It really is sad.

I mostly just get frustrated that applecart seems to skip over the more key points that seem blatantly obvious to everyone else.
I never did get an actual answer on her not believing that lack of movement can have a detrimental effect on soft tissues which really was the key point people were trying to make given the horse's history of injury.
Honestly, at times it isn't good for me, I don't get anything 'out of it' I guess when you always have the horse's best interests at heart and think even a small change might make a big difference (which is why you see me hanging out with their feet so much ) it makes it even trickier. I struggle if I don't think people have understood why I have said so tend to try and reiterate it in a different way which can make it seem like I am banging on about the same issue. I am working on it but it has taken me a long time to work out quite what goes on.
You know that 'wait a minute someone is wrong on the internet' meme, yeah that . and the more factual the actual answer the worse I am - I've had a few issues with people's inability to understand the highway code recently, when it is down there, in black and white. However this is only limited to the information I actually have or know to be correct, hence I wouldn't state the grass wasn't green, I might give you a more complex answer though .
Applecart frequently asks for advice and people always try to give it even though it is frequently turned down and if a more holistic view is taken that is always wrong. Even though I would have thought one could have predicted the response to declaring a rehabbing horse still in walk and trot was going on a fun ride) If people ask I will try and help from what I know, it is only because I like to try and help and I have made more friends than enemies that way. I have posted on her other threads on different topics without animosity. I certainly don't hold her in any sort of contempt.

I just don't understand what you get out of it though. If you find her so frustrating, why do you continue to post on her threads and try to force her into agreeing with you - you know already that she isn't going to listen.
There are many people on this forum and in real life whose approach I don't agree with. If asked for advice I would give it, but then it's up to the individual whether to take it or not - none of my business. I certainly wouldn't continue to bash them over the head with my unwanted advice, over and over again - particularly when it wasn't even asked for to begin with. That's when it starts to verge into bullying.
Agree or not with the OPs approach, she clearly cares a lot about her horse and looks after him well. There are many many people who abuse and neglect their animals - those would be the ones I would save my contempt for.
OK, so everyone has had their say, so now why not turn things around and try and HELP the OP in a practical way ?
A number of people have mentioned or insinuated that they know of yards or could find yards better than that the OP is on, so come on, I challenge you, list them! People on here are great at sleuthing out trolls so lets sleuth out some new yards for her , eh?
Make it easy for the OP who has obviously got a lot going on in life - you should be able to deduce her requirements from the various posts above (ie environs of Solihull, 25 mins drive from centre, assisted/part livery, reasonable cost, good surface and hacking) then you can add on the horses requirements as you have discussed above - oh, and reasonable availability too! (No three year waiting lists!)
Will be interested to see what is proposed.

Well I hope I have answered some of those points.
Though I still don't see what is wrong with being an intellectual, so-called or not!
