Turned away due to my weight :(

Hello all,
Just joined today and fascinated about the weight debate! Feel a bit intimidated about asking for advice now? Have a really chunky Connie and feel like I should never ride again without serious liposuction? I am in the camp that a well balanced sympathetic rider is better than a light unbalanced novice using reins for balance xx

Both weighing the same? Same amount of weight is on the horse regardless of how well the rider rides. Don't be afraid, just don't tells you're 30 stone on a 14hh!!

Fair enough (but I'm not on facebook nor likely to be - tmt). I thought DD would not want to 'out' herself on H&H in case of another ban but I never would have thought she was forest fox anyway - who was odious. I'm not a computer expert but how many times can you re-invent yourself, doesn't your IP address give yourself away?

DD is used to bannings and unconcerend by them by now, I feel :) You can use various programmes and add ins to mask your ip via other addresses, I think pretty much indefinitely.

Well, that depends on how big you are relative to your horse, and how fit, healthy, well put together and conditioned your horse is. If your connie is "chunky" in the show sense (i.e. obese) it will be less able to carry a heavier rider as it is already overloaded as it were. If your connie is a heavier set pony rather than a sporty lightweight, and in slim, fit condition, it will carry more.

As you can see from my signature, I'm tall and not skinny and ride a 14,1hh highland, so I'm not going to criticise adults for riding ponies ;)

Welcome to the forum :-) ignore the current war going on. It's all been very quiet and everyone playing nicely for ages with no mention of weight ratios or fat V fit debates. Or .. whispers very quietly trolls ! !
It'll all quieter down in a day or so and should be quite safe to post again ;-)

Ditto welcome :), please don't be put off, in a day or 2 it will die down :)

Mostly is is a lovely ' community ' and full if useful info :)
 
Gosh, what a nasty lot you are! Are trolls skinny stuck-up H&H forum contributors? My pony is not obese, over worked or carrying too much weight! JFTD, I would say proportionally we are very similar! Just joined for some support on a newly purchased baby Warmblood but don't think I will bother...

You're either a funny newbie or an amusing troll. Either way, always appreciated on the forum which is desperately in need of livening up :)
 
Get me another pie and tack up my miniature Shetland! I feel some cross country coming on! Not really, its a lame, laminitic Falabella ....
 
I'm out. A post on HHO FB an hour ago by someone saying they have just "set up another one" and that HHO forum are a bit thick and then this.

I don't like to believe bad in anything but this whole troll, reincarnation of members has me wondering who could be genuine and I don't like who that makes me, so...Perfect Pony, welcome to the forum...everyone else, carry on...I'll see you in other threads :)
 
Oh how odd .. I posted a nice fwendliy post welcoming PerfectPony but she/he it chose to get annoyed by JFTD. I feel very very hurt. My kindness has gone unacknowledged .. I need a hug ..Now! Otherwise I'm leaving this forum and NEVER coming back!
 
Bit of a theme going on with the double same letter names......:rolleyes3:

If it is Desperate Dan, you are an absolute MUG. Way to get banned forever more, like I said on the FB group, people will troll hunt and out you every time if it is you.

If there is someone reinventing themselves after a ban continually just to stir things up then it's a shame that it impacts on the genuine new posters who are looking for advice. And trolls are really rather sad - I mean have they got nothing better to do with their time than stay glued to a computer all day doing such things? Get a life. But then it is the school holidays isn't it so to be expected.
