Nobody's looking down at you because you're a teenager. It's not your age that's causing the problem; it's your posts.

Because when we were teenagers we weren't publicly shaming ourselves and claiming to have the knowledge, money and skills to look after a young horse, and then being insulting and abusive.
Just a suggestion there :cool:

If you think you're being bullied, then alert TFC by pushing the button at the bottom of the page.

However, I think you probably realise that people are just having a bit of fun at your expense - and if you stopped posting, so would the fun........:rolleyes:
 
I'm 16 and wouldn't dream of being as rude as she is :confused:

It's always the louder, ruder ones that ruin our reputation and 'society' see us all as arrogant little children and its the minority that speak the loudest because they stand out from the quieter ones :mad:

Well I am not bullying you. Maybe if you walked away now it will all stop. The fact you post back with defensive comments is always going to provoke people who are picking fun.

The decision for them to stop 'bullying' lies in your hands

I think we probably all feel sorry for the foal in the ad, the problem is what to do about it.

I fully understand someone wanting to swoop in and "rescue" such a poor little thing. I feel tempted myself, this girl's on my doorstep. Like I've said before, that would be madness though.

Really, if anyone wants to do poor horses in need a favour, I think they'd be better adopting a horse from a reputable charity/welfare organisation though. That way you free up funds and room for another genuinely rescued horse or pony.

It's not so dramatic or exciting maybe, but IMO a more effective way of helping.

imo too:)
a friend of mine did the 'omg poor baby pony' thing and bought a 'well handled' weanling, well handled with blue pipe maybe but certainly not by kind hands:( friend means well but is not overly confident, pony got it's headcollar off in the field and she couldn't catch it for 6 months. i had down at my place for a few months and got it haltered and accepting being caught by my daughter and myself, but then OH said it had to go back as i had another one coming:o
last i heard she had given it away to another friend of hers who already has about 18 horses/ponies. it's probably a very common story for these poor little waifs, bought with the best intentions but when the warm cosy dream of turning them around turns into cold reality they get passed on:(
 
Goodness, between the British 3DE team being picked and this thread I'm wondering if I'm going to get any work done at all this week....

I'm imagining all kinds of things about who might be behind the name 'Natalieshort' at the moment :eek::D

Natalie, the subject keeps turning away from you, and you jump in and bring it back to yourself. :rolleyes:

Honestly, no-one's bullying. if you just stopped diving in with the "old hags" "boring" "up your arse" etc insults, you wouldn't get any negative remarks back.

Why do you feel the need to SHOUT in all your posts? No-one is bullying you, if you would stop with the attitude and realise that the majority were giving you good advice perhaps you wouldn't be so quick to jump in with posts which are quite frankly getting more ridiculous with each new one, thus setting you up for ridicule. Can you see a pattern emerging here?
 
FARRIER!??
You must be joking, how would I ever make a living lining the pockets of those charlatans??

When the feet on mine start to get long, it obviously means they're not working enough, so they get a few days fast trotting on the roads. Which, BTW hardens the legs up too.

If that doesn't work then I truss them up like a roped steer on their sides, and the dogs gnaw down the excess.

Simple and cheap.

I was astonished how many teenagers there are here. They post intelligent, knowledgable posts and no-one would suspect their age if it hadn't been for that thread. :)

Coffee shower!
However, if you went the suggestion of 2 legs off on one side, you wouldn't need to rope them, just unscrew their wheels and they would topple.

Littlelegs you can join my circus any time, particularly if you bring us an angle grinder.

2 legs off is fine in theory, but would it eliminate the need for rising trot?? Teaching the 'up, downs,' is one of the mainstays of the business so I'm not sure if that would work for me.

I think were getting off the important part of this thread - the foal. Has anyone actually found out if it's good in traffic yet!?? Then I won't need martlins cast off.

Oh you might have a point there....I was thinking more of a Ford Ka wheels

I think this is a pony we are discussing here, Ford Ka wheels would just be stupid, knock the poor wee thing right off balance! Please think before you post, there are some inexperienced people on here who may take your advice and ruin a perfectly good foal by fitting the wrong wheels.
