My daughters are telling me about a 12yo girl they know who is posting on social media about her horses. She is a know all type but in truth an uneducated beginner who has a 12.2 she gallops about on. She has just been bought a 16hh 5yo gelding. She is tiny and the horse is expected to grow still. She has been posting videos of her with this horse having all sorts of bother, having to let it go, her sister falling off it etc. She sort of plays with her horses which is ok if you know what you are doing but she is doing things like galloping bareback and hatless up a field with the youngster loose and galloping alongside her. I don't think she has any idea of the danger she is putting herself in, and not sure if the parents have any input at all. My kids haven't commented on her posts but I think they feel someone ought to say something. Probably not our place-what do others think?
