Wife Swap to show horse beating

I would not be happy with this being shown, children and adults alike already have little respect for animals without seeing a spoilt brat doing this. Too right 'what sort of message does this send out?'
 
Oh my! I did chuckle at this commentary.....

Later in the show, we see the young girl mounting the horse by using its mane for leverage.

How else are you supposed to get on a horse without a saddle.....doh!!

I haven't seen this episode yet....but it sounds like melodrama to me at this moment in time. Time will tell though.

I read that, I wonder what they would think of all those that pull their horses manes!? Horse mutilation??

The girl sounds a brat, but I've a feeling that it's being exxagerated... When is wife swap on, I'd like to watch it!

I think you've nailed it there.
Kid doesn't appreciate her pony "old but not dead!" I would never have described my old pony like that - she was like gold dust to me!! (although I did used to push her out of the way with a broom - she would just barge through me otherwise - eek, does this make me cruel...?)
 
The "wife" in the program is Paula Wroath shes one of those parelli instructors..... In the land of the carrot stick, I can hardly imagine the daughter being a horse beater!

I have referred to many horses as old but not dead - done the same for people too!

T F Bundy. Totally f***ed but unfortunately not dead yet.

Totally describes my mother-in-law and before you all shout at me she told me I was 'unchristian and would be punished' when we told her I was pregnant with twins (16 years ago) and OH and I weren't married. She now has alzheimers and doesn't wake up when we visit her in hospital (at least I go!).
 
lol - all of this (for some reason) reminds me of an incident when I was younger. I was schooling my horse (our school is next to a road) when he started bucking and plunging and trying to get rid of me, I managed to pull him up and got off him, as it was unlike him and I thought - he could be in pain. As I got off he spun round and tried to kick me - twice, so I wacked him on the ass with my whip. Don't get me wrong - I meant it and I was not about to get kicked by a metal shoe wearing, half tonne beast when I was alone at the yard. He stopped still once I hit him and I then heard a lady shout at me from the road. She had stopped her car and got out to watch and then said she was going to report me to the RSPCA!!! Funnily enough I didn't hear anything from them, but it just shows how easy it is for non-horsey people to misinterpret things sometimes.
 
not sure what they would think of my yard then, i pull ponies manes regularly (cant plait long manes), and yes if a half ton pony tries to bite, kick or squash me then they are going to get smacked or an elbow in the ribs!
 
I think people should probably watch it first before deciding if its a cruelty case or a melodrama. You cant really comment on something that we havent seen......

I think its on C4 tonight at 8pm?
 
What a little cow! I cant stand spoilt little sods like that. If my possible future child mistreated one of the family horses like that i would make a big point about it be totally wrong thats for sure!

Though you are right mm, should see it first, but it just doesnt sound too nice on the outside
 
I would hardly say it was cruelty at all! And it wasn't like she used the points of the shavings fork she used the flat side! She didn't seem too spoilt at all either IMO.
 
No I don't think so either. Off on a tangent here but I think her parents should have been more prepared to give the school she went to a chance.
 
I also thought she said "old ...not deaf" not dead as was said. Glad the pony had a rug on when she stood on his baclk in wellies!!! Mind you he did nt look too bothered, but would like to see her do it on a pony she didnt know!! evil grin!!

Really??? Tbh if i'm gonna be p*ssed off its at the fact the media is wasting time claiming THAT is cruelty when there really is GENUINE cruelty going on everywhere. Spolt brat maybe but cruelty, get real!

*claps* Maybe someone should send them the pics of CALA's latest rescue greyhound so they can understand what cruelty really is.
