So true. As an addition, the same people who seem to thing that their doing so is somehow groundbreaking... not just what the majority of competent horseowners have been doing since time immemorial

The hypocrosy of HHO... people who have been ripped off by some and cannot tell their story, or to seek advice, or to warn others; even if no names are mentioned... thread instantly deleted and warnings/infractions bandied about.
Enough said on that one I think

I think mine would be maybe called stealth boasting? So, Op posts saying what terrible problems she has catching her horse. Some ideas get thrown around. Then on comes the stealth boaster going on for several paragraphs about how wonderful her horse is and how the horse comes running as soon as her car is a mile away on the lane approaching the stables and they've never had a problem catching any horse in their life. My thought is always "So what? Bully for you. How does that help Op?". Similar might be something along the lines of... Op posts for some advice about diet for their barefoot horse. People like Oberon and Cptrayes and other Barefoot Taliban come on with advice. Then along comes the another poster, maybe even the same one who has never had problems catching a horse in their life, "Oh, I've got three barefoot and all they get is grass and hay". Well, so what? And probably bully for them, but that does nothing to help Op either.
Grrrr....
Grrrr....

LOL. I do wonder if it was only up north that got it wrong to begin with and we're just too stubborn to admit it and change to the right word.
I am from Cheshire too and only ever heard 'menage'! Heard it on several different yards over a number of years so always assumed it was right. Wasn't until I saw someone moan about it on here that I realised it was wrong (once a number of other people posting in agreement with the 'manege' OP!).
Now live in the south and don't hear either - it's a school or an arena.
Back to original point of thread - some people can be quite mean to others, seemingly unnecessarily.
I also rejoined in March as I wanted to post pictures of my pony, so got rid of my old account as I had posted for advice about various situations etc. and didn't want anyone I know in real life to recognise my pony and view my other posts. Once I changed my username and had a low post count/recent join date, it was like I didn't exist! My replies weren't acknowledged, etc. and I found it really disconcerting. Haven't let it put me off though

I fully agree with MrsB what has happened to freedom of speech and surely as this is facts than it is in the interest of the public to know before anyone else suffers as many others have done. HHO forum do the decent thing and let the truth come out!!

What, you think anonymous posters should have the authorisation to post defamatory comments completely unchecked? I don't.
Anything in the public domain, i.e. results of court cases, can be discussed. Generally a lot passed as 'facts' on here is merely one persons opinion, we often see at least 2 very different 'sides' to each story.
I absolutely hate when situations like poor MrsB's occur, and they occur far too often, but I think these things are better done though the proper channels. I can quite understand HHO's stance. They are providing a free service, and there are plenty of alternatives if you don't agree with their terms.

I hate, hate, hate people who only every post about themselves, never answer anyone elses posts, unless it's to 'empathise' (ie use it as an opportunity to talk about themselves) .... me, me effing me!!
I imagine them to be like the friend from England in 'Friends' that Phoebe and Monica try to defriend, the big blonde one who danced for Chandler shrieking 'look at MEEEEEEEEE'

When you post a thread and basically it gets ignored because you are not a frequent poster.
And people who post "Help with Names" and don't post a picture!

BUTTON PUSHERS
My thread has disappeared
only wanted to ask what everyone was having for dinner
Might not seem horsey, but after a busy day with horses I was hungry
Instead of pushing buttons, be grown up, and just ask nicely for it to be removed face to face

We are all entitled to our views as you are yours. The comments that are posted are not unchecked and are approved. If you looked more carefully at other postings you will see that this is not one persons opinions but is many peoples facts where they have been badly affected.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this
Anyone can post anything on here.When litigation has been successful, then things can be discussed on an open forum. I have absolutely no doubts as to the veracity of certain cases, but a public forum is not the place for an anonymous witch hunt IMO, even if it is a real witch

Your opinion is that you do not agree with these comments being put on here well mine and many others are that we feel that due to the severity of this that innocent people looking to purchase a horse/pony have a right to know where to be cautious - i am sure your view would be very different if you were one of the affected parties

Agree about naming names on the public forum Rhino as HHO would be in for major litigation but do not see the problem with a thread not naming names. All it takes is a google search and all the info whooshes up anyhow.
A no names thread where people can be pointed in the direction of a suitable google search should be allowed;-)
Anyway not to hijack the thread...Wagtail will be happy up to a 4 star thread not;-)

I think I'm guilty of that
- Oh there I go again talking about myself Seriously though I come on here particularly FOR peoples experiences everything else I can mostly Google the answer for or ask a person such as vet, physio or instructor. What I can't get from them is the wealth of individual experiences that might just solve the problem the above have failed to.
Oops done it again

They're not actually ALL sixteen - but do still have an over-inflated opinion of their experience and don't like other people pointing out that they have/will over-horse themselves.

When you post in Vet saying,
"the Vet came out today and he said blah and I was wondering what your experience was"
and at least 3 people post "CALL THE VET" ;-))
