I have sat and read this thread numerous times over and over again today, to say I am astonished by all the jobsworths who have their opinion about how Welsh Section C's & D's should look and shouldn't look.... Jealousy comes to mind, I remember Cambrica's horse in the ring... Firstly it was quite clear that you couldn't control your horse maybe you need to enforce a bit of dicipline, Secondly a horse should be able to get it's head in the manger maybe try lowering it so your horse can actually eat! You expressed your views on "Yobs with Cobs". All because people with cobs express their appreciation of a GOOD COB in the ring (sorry if we didn't appreciate yours). You mentioned that you purchased from a good stud in Wales, let me let you into a little secret, when Studs sense that someone with little knowledge wants to come and buy from them, they scrape the bottom of the barrel to sell you the horses that they wouldn't even register if it weren't for the whole micro chipping situation. When you visited the Royal Welsh you mentioned that you never saw a carrier bag, or a bottle with stones in I find this to be very untrue as 99% of competitors use either one so next time you visit actually observe what is going on around you then maybe you might see the lovely stud you purchased from actually using one of the above to hype their horses up, then you might not be so dissapproving of Yobs With Cobs!! If you was to visit majority of Studs and visited their fields you would only have to show their horses a carrier bag then you will see that the horses are not frightened or treated cruelly, they stick their tail up and show off, does this sound like a frightened horse because maybe I am wrong (which i doubt) but does a horse flag, prick their ears and show off if they are frightened, ain't it the other way round they generally have their ears flat back and their tail clamped down. Please any of you's prim and proper horse owners correct me if I am wrong!!... Regarding the TROLLOP who was seen shaking a whip with a bag on round the children, firstly I think it is highly disrespectful to call someone that who you don't know (maybe you would of got a peice of her mind if you actually told her that on the day hence the reason why you had to air your views on here) Secondly you expressed your views on children running around near the horses, I have read my schedule from that show 3 times and for the life of me I cannot see where it states - Towerlands Welsh Medal Show & Children's Creche. It is a horse show not a childrens play area so if your children or any other peoples were running around near the horses that says more about the parenting than it actally does about the horse handlers. I was not competing at the show this year but had a wonderful time, so for you to state that the handlers beat their horses and treated them in a horrid manner i find this hilarious, I have never read such rubbish. Basically what you and other users on here are saying is that the horses were treated horribly, too fat, scared with bags and bottles etc - you should have opened your eyes and your ears when a horse came in the ring with it's tail up, giving a good show, looked immaculate and in top show condition where was it placed and how were the crowd buzzing , where was your horse standing? and did you get the crowds appreciation Eerm I don't beleive so NO. As for you commending the organisers and the Judges this was the most fictional part I think you wrote becasue I heard with my own ears the show organiser saying outside the ring when the Section D Stallions were in that there was a lovely atmosphere. Also the Section D Judge just before the Section D Stallions were about to come in when the music started he was dancing in the ring clapping getting the audience involved enhancing the atmosphere I personally found this amusing and involving as so did most of the crowd, I bet you were one of the spectators who was sitting in the stand not even smiling like you were at a funeral, this says more about you than it does everyone else. In future I advise all you jobsworths and jealous people to stick to your local shows and leave the WPCA medal shows to those who are more suited unless you can attend without starting World War 3. As for the person who complained about showing to The Who playing, Towerlands as always had music on during their classes ever since I can remember being little and going. Towerlands used to be the first show of the season and was always the one that you got hyped up for mainly becasue of the atmosphere it generated. Everybody had their concerns with Bury Farm because of the area it is situated, becasue it was going to attract people who have got plums stuck in their mouth giving their very little knowledge and opinions to people who to be quite frank couldn't care less about your opinions as they mean very little. Regarding the pictures that were posted these clearly show the affection between the horses and their owners so whoever said that the bottom one was cruel then you really need to keep your opinions to yourself because this man is a farrier and dotes on his animals just like the rest of us, just because some use whips and bags does not mean that they are treated badly. A question for all you's who had an opinion... From my assumptions most of you have ridden horses aswell yes? when you break them do you never use a whip when schooling or use spurs when your horse is not going forward, you can tell everyone on here that you don't but when push comes to shove and your horse ain't going forward bet the whips and spurs come out in full force to hell with what ever you broadcast on here, I bet your horse don't get a stroke and a polo then, so you's carry on lying to yourselves but beleive me behind closed doors I am not far from the truth am I. As for criticising someones appearence I know exactly who you are slagging off all becasue they take pride in their appearence does not mean they are a bad person, we all can't look like Riff-Raff, to be honest some people looked like they needed 24 hours soak in the bath i don't see you criticising them or is that becasue the girls who made an effort made you feel a little insecure with yourselves!!. With regards to the well known family using ginger, if you knew where to get it you would use it aswell, knowledge jealousy is the worst kind because you think you are very knowledgeable but in the end you's are just a riding school graduates. The above is not just aimed at Cambrica it is aimed at everyone who put their two pennies worth in where it wasn't wanted or needed. Cambrica you started this thread and to be honest you should have kept your opinions to yourself but no you came on here aired your views and got everyone on the band wagon so any attitude and dissapprovement you or any of the others get is completely expected, in future think before you start a thread slagging people and their horses off because you will get it back 10 times worse from all angles. I agree there is good and bad in all horsey people but this thread gives people who have welsh horses a bad name and is dissrespectful to the good. In my opinion people should keep their opinions to themself but becasue you all jumped on the band wagon about Welsh horse owners, you have got to have it i am afraid. Sometimes people are good at airing what they beleive to be the truth all over the internet but are they big enough to take some back without chucking their toys out their pram.
Blimey someone has pushed someone's buttons!! Nasty, not necessary at all.
