Too fat to ride?

[Mongoose11]

Whilst I commend Mongoose for her obvious and selfless consideration of her horse, she did lead the attack on SG in the first place and regularly behaves in a similar manner in many other 'bitchfest' threads, which have contributed to valued members of this forum leaving.

Lead the attack/challenge her views/call her out for possibly being a banned poster?

Wagtail, you are being a little emotive there. I have been involved in at least three barneys on here, on balance and in view of the amount of threads I have participated in, I wouldn't call that 'regularly'. It should also be noted that you have been a poster on those very same threads 😜

Just jogging memories.

And I always try to defend those being bullied.

 

[Smurf's Gran]

Oh dear. But you must admit, the dog with a bone style is similar.

And so it carries on !!

No need. I'm well aware of my thoughts/posting/arguments. Less so than you, it would seem.

Always defending the under dog is not an admirable quality. The under dog isn't always right.

I'm still here but to be honest, I've skipped all the cr*p - I started this post for information and opinions (both positive and negative!) and I knew it'd probably be controversial and might ruffle a few feathers but quite frankly I'm disgusted by how rude people have been and how it's descended into a complete and utter b*tchfest.

Surely a group of adults can have a civilised chat/debate without it resulting in this? If I was new to horses I would have been put off for life...

You get used to it. I was amazed at first, but hey ho, baptism of fire.

This thread has gone bat **** crazy, OP. No fault of yours, it was a perfectly reasonable topic to discuss. Not sure what has got into some folk on here, it's not normally like this.

So it would seem. It was merely an observation about posting style really, nothing more ...

I do find the suggestion that I may be a banned poster a little much really

I think it's ok to be combative sometimes. No stress on my part, I just refuse to be shouted down by hypocrites!

Sorry OP, hope all is well.

I don't think the poster was banned, just had a few guises. If you share a posting style and attitude then it's a fair assumption. Several people have thought the same, so there must be something in the comparison.

Cptrayes was not banned. She was harried into leaving by several other members including Mongoose11.

It was started by you. I wasn't even on the thread at the time, I was at work.

It was totally gratuitous and had absolutely nothing to do with the thread and related discussion. What possible reason did you have for doing that other than to create untrue gossip ?.

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Cinnamon Toast I don't know how big either are, but for me, the saddle is sat too far forward, and therefore probably, too long for the horse. Though these things can be very much a personal preference.

I thought so too, interfered with his shoulder, cut rather than length. A shame, it was the most comfortable saddle ever, a Cardanal. He was 14.2hh with shoes on and the saddle was a 17.5. His current 17.5 is a totally different cut and fits brilliantly.

15hh and 17.5?

I'm sending you a prize, although the height is a bit out, I'm amazed at how close you are, tho! He's 'shot up' to 15.1hh now.

His current saddle, same size, different cut. Makes me wonder if he could stand another half an inch. (Not me riding!)

Absolutely outrageous. You follow me around to share this information and claim that you stand up for people who are bullied.

Dear all, I had a big barney with CPT (as did many, many others) and she 'left' the forum. Forgive me for I have sinned and must pay a perpetual penance doled out by the forum minister of justice (aka Wagtail).

In my opinion you share posting traits. I shared my thoughts. That's it. I didn't even name the poster, but others did.

Funnily enough the last barney I had on here ended with a constant focus on me and my comments (Wagtail and one other) while every other poster seemed to be able to agree/chime in without consequence 😏

Not a very adult way to behave though, starting comments and suggesting that someone is another poster for the sake of whipping up gossip.

Mongoose, read this thread. You are the one who followed me, both on here and another thread today. I didn't make a comment to you until you started with the usual snide comments. Yes, I think you are a bully, but more to impress those you admire than anything else.

I see, a little amusing but ok. I think I'm actually making myself look like a right prat because I can not bear not to respond. Can't see how that would be impressing anyone! I really must get a life.

Mongoose. I certainly think your behaviour towards me has been more than a little off. I appreciate it has been heated but I have stayed "on topic" and you haven't

Yet again no mention of the others who have also deviated from the 'way of the topic'.

Gorgeous horse. It does look there as if he might be able to take a slightly bigger saddle.

I think that saddle is bang on level with his last rib. (Where it would join his spine and not the widest part) so I wouldn't like to see a longer saddle on him. He's nice and compact.

Still slightly bum high, or at any rate not yet able to carry him/herself off the forehand? I wouldn't put a longer saddle on him/her myself. With the shape of the back, you world also risk bridging unless you could find a perfectly matching banana tree.

To deviate slightly from the original question... just to say really like this horse CT. Very handsome!
