The Benylin Thread!

Mmmm where to start?
Happy hackers that moan when someone overtakes them and their cob actually exceeds 3mph. Newflash, some of us like to go FAST!

People who use draw reins when they shouldn't and people who dont use draw reins when they should.

People who believe it is their god given right to enforce their over safety conscious attitude on the rest of the horse world who god forbid might actually be able to stay on if a horse steps sideways unexpectedly.

People who feel compelled to moan about what tack the top riders use when they have not one clue what its like to ride a horse that actually has and engine and a brain.

People who school all the time and people who dont school

People who have no idea how big 3 feet actually is.

People who actually believe dressage riders do it because they love it rather than because they're to afraid to jump

people who jump because they cant do dressage.

PNH

Barefoot brigade

but most of all..............

People who moan about what other horse people do.

Did I miss anyone out?

so, does that include people who think their way of doing things like, say , ooh lets see, using their own tack , is the only way of doing things? :D

Cos that would include me, I've got to say :D

Nope, I also get very miffed at people using my tack. I meant more the ones who spend all their time sniping about how you ride/handle your horse because you don't do exactly the same as they do ...
 
The arriving on the yard in all the gear, immaculate, every brand name going on, hair coiffed, but barely get on the horse but will tell everyone else what bit they should ride in, what they should do with their horse, etc, etc

I remember the days when a couple of spoonfuls of Benylin and you were floating...cough? what cough?!...fantastic experience...(Benylin manufacturers that's praise, not criticism of your product , I still wouldn't buy anything else for my chest! :))

A friend of mine lent a flash noseband to one of the other girls on the yard ONCE. What started to happen was, whenever my friend wasn't at the yard, this girl would go to her tack locker, take her flash and use it, then put it back. Well, one day my friend arrived at the yard early to ride, saw her flash was not on her bridle and took a guess as to where it might be. Yes, you guessed it - it was 'in use' with this particular individual. So my friend asked her for it back, and this girl said 'can you just wait half an hour, I've only just started riding?'
My friend's response cannot be documented on a public forum accessed by children, but suffice to say it started with 'f' and finished with... 'f'.

'fluff'?? lol
 
People who say - is he an Arab? Then, what are you going to do with him - endurance? Why does everyone assume that Arabs are only good for endurance? And another one. Oh, isn't he good for an Arab. What do they expect, a whirling dervish?
 
oh blimey this could well be a can of worms . . . . . .
people who have horses shod and don't bother to tidy up
people with no respect for others on the yard
people who have no respect for thier horses
people who use bits/contraptions because someone famous has.
people who make excuses rather than admit they are too scared to ride thier horse
small people who take out thier faults on poor ponies who deserve better.
people who clearly stand on a pedestal much higher than everyone else
people who cant measure jumps ( no, my dear that wasn't 1.45m)
and of course flaming bunny huggers ( yes i do actually use the whip i carry but only when required - its not a bloody ornament !!)
 
Fat ponies, forced outlines, pony club mums who make their own kids cry, ringside "experts" at shows (any level), cr*p riding instructors.

I think that's it. For now.... :D
 
Oh goody. I'm on narcotic painkillers AND cold meds so I hope I qualify.

People who seem to like to brag about how bad their horse is rather than do anything about it - we have one who seems to think it's amusing when her horse jerks his lead out of her hand and gallops off to wreak havoc for the next half hour.

Gossips.

People who continually tell you how their trainer is so much better than yours and you really ought to switch.

People who bring small children to the barn and then expect everyone else to watch out for them as they toddle around behind their horses.

Those who bring obnoxious dogs (I love dogs - I don't love dogs that bark at all the horses, lunge at the horses or try to bite me).

People who offer advice all the time but are so inept with their own horse that you once saw them trying to get it to trot on a lunge line by energetically trotting up and down in place, all the while telling the horse, "Like this!"

Whew! That felt good!
 
I am going to join in as I have my child on Benylin (he is 9 and he is snoring):

People who borrow your fork/broom/shovel/barrow and then don't PUT IT BACK....so when you come to muck out you spend twenty minutes searching for your tools grrrrrrrrrr! I don't mind borrowing but PUT IT BACK where you found it.

Folks who spend HOURS doing "put your off fore on the barrell, good boy, good boy, have an organic treat" with their pone: said pone still barges out of his bedroom, and is potentially more dangerous than a 4x4 with bullbars fitted.

Unwanted advice...seriously, if I didn't KNOW what I was doing, don't you think I am bright enough to ASK???

That's all, for now ;-)
 
Mud. What is the point of mud? It is just nasty squishy stuff that gets everywhere and is a pain in the bum to clean off anything. Mud does not benefit anyone apart from pigs and as I am not a pig I don't appreciate mud at all.

Flies. What is the point of flies other than walking on dog poo and then flying about in an annoying buzzy type way trying to get on your food or tormenting you while you try to sleep. Idiots!

Irrational enough?

ok...............people who although they pay the same rate as you for the yard think they have more of a right to use the facilities than you, this includes your tack and when you catch them (literally with your tack on their horse) have a a go at you saying its your fault not theirs...........................still can't work that one out if anyone can work that out and explain who it is my fault they still from me.................answers on a post card:)

Well, I think it is obvious really and I cannot understand why you don't understand - your fault for having tack that fits their horse - now if you had a Welsh A then it wouldn't happen would it....
