Draw reins in the hands of people who can't use them, no it's not in an outline!
Spurs on people with no lower leg control
Parelli
Shaved tails
Badly solo combed manes / scissors massacred manes
Tack that doesn't match eg: black bridle & tan saddle
Overbent horses
Manes plaited on the wrong side - just no!

Light havana tack - especially on black horses.
Bling on bridles - I'm not even a fan of stitching on nosebands / browbands let alone diamante, crystals, glitter or ribbons.
That bald chunk of neck where manes have been rubbed away by neck covers.
And another one for mud - or my grey boy's penchant for plastering himself in it at the very least.

Am I allowed Rollkur?
Oh, and those stupid whips that have a strap to put your wrist through. Especially if they're pink.

Most nosebands, particularly ones that force the mouth shut.
All riding crops in the hands of children, and many adults.
Badly fitting saddles
Badly shod feet that would be better bare.
Agree with short lead ropes too, although the long ones do tend to wrap around my legs and fall in the mud. I persevere.
Pony club mums who yell at their kids - actually, most Pony Club mums.
Horselicks full of sugar
Mollassed chaff - does anyone know of a readily available unmollassed one???
Idiotic drivers
Cyclists who don't shout a warning and suddenly zoom past.
Stupid yard rules which make life difficult for horse and owner (but please fussy YO)
Overgrown or blocked bridleways
Busy roads
mud
Wind
ice
Any more room in there? I could keep going!
Oh, english stirrup leathers that pinch your legs!

Anything made in horse size that should only really be worn by a child's pony e.g. bright, naff saddlecloths and flowery rugs.
Really cheap imitation pessoas/lunging aids - the Mark Todd and JW ones look fine, but the ones for about £20 just look rubbish tbh. I've even seen one that looks like it could be made of baling twine on a certain budget website.
Unsafe second-hand trailers/horseboxes for sale.
Rubber riding boots

People who neglect their animal's needs. REALLY gets my goat! FFS get out of bed and muck that animal out, ensure it is standing on a dry bed and give it fresh water!
All BHS exams. Just because you have a certificate does not make you qualified to even be near a horse (see above).

I hate synthetic saddles but it may be all I can afford when I can actually afford to replace mine!
Badly pulled, scissored or shaved manes and tails - but now I have a horse who won't stand pulling, we're in that club >.<
Manes on the wrong side - but guess what?! Yep, I'm coming to terms with it and realising there are enough other things to be bothered about that I can let that one slide for the sake of my blood pressure
Curiously, I was far more fussy about things when I had a lovely placid cob who let me get away with anything. I'm far more willing to compromise now!

This... jumped up experts who preach about this and that to everyone on a forum that probably never go near an actual horse.
Phew sorry about that, feel a bit calmer now!Must admit 'too short' leadropes are irritating.
Rugs that are too shallow in the body.
really really thick saddlecloths,
cheap girths that rub and don't have rollers on

Agree Love with "know it alls" also lets throw in dodgy dealers!!!Pale rider - I agree with short lead ropes - if the horse starts playing up on the end of it or spooking etc, you need to get out of the way without having to let go which could in itself cause more problems.
I'd chuck in the "no it alls" who actually don't have a clue. I don't mind the ones willing to learn or accept they are wrong, its the ones who are adamant they know and refuse to listen. Sorry I know you said no people

Mud
Cheese-wire halters
Wind and rain (at the same time!)
People who 'borrow' fellow livery's items but rarely return (you have to search for them youself and usually find them wet, filthy and buried under a load of rubbish)
People ramming their 'theories' or opinions down other people's necks (no matter the topic, but especially bitless and barefoot!! - especially those who pair this with saying that they like to keep their horse as nature intended...if you kept your horse as nature intended you wouldn't be riding it at all!! - IMO )
Supplement tubs that are impossible to open
Dangerous horseboxes/trailer (will never forget the day when a friend's friend turned up with her horse to hack out, in a trailer which was close to collapse!! -and she is a vet!!!!)
Tractor drivers who continue to drive at you despite clearly being able to see that your horse is about to flip out
Cyclists - road cyclists, mountain bikers seem to be a different breed and can actually crack a smile, slow down and give warning when they pass and say good morning!
Motorbikers (I live off a road which is named as one of the most dangerous in Britain - vast majority of accidents are caused by bikers)
Kids who pull their ponies left right and centre, but ride sweetly and kindly when their parents or instructor is there!
SNOW!!!!
hunter wellies (shame really, as always bought hunters, but they seem to haev slipped from grace )
Horsey people who ride on narrow country lanes, in failing light with no hi-viz
Hackers who take their dogs out with them on the roads and don't have any control over it
Hatless riders....sorry, no offence but I do value my skull!
Horsey people who look down on others becuase they don't jump/compete etc
Inverted snobbery - people who try to make you feel bad because you do compete, ride soemthing other than a cob or have nice things for your horses (for example)
Just a few then....
