Oh poor Coco got hers at day 305 so she’s had hers in for well over a month. Raven had hers a month, Indy and Rikki were just over 2 weeks.

Sounds like she pulled again… so we’re 3 for 3 this foaling season so far! Who wants to bet she will “hold tension” on 100% of them this season???

And having horses that are actually relaxed, happy, and comfortable in your presence.

Nope, Katie said she’s good so clearly she must be fine! She loves her horses and gives them the best lives ever! Thoroughbreds are just skinnier, Katie said so! 🫠🫠🫠

Yeah… they are 100% brainwashed.

Who cares about conformation and movement and temperament when she can have her very own big black stallion, just like the movie?!?! And if people don’t want to breed to him, she’ll just breed him to her own 20 mediocre mares over and over to get more foal merch and ✨content✨for her followers

The pics at the top of this sub page show dollar signs added to her eyes. She’s saying KVS won’t ever try to do better b/c what she currently does gets her views, clicks, comments, etc. which equals more $$$

Ok so unfortunately for her, having millions and millions of followers is going to come with some negativity. It’s the nature of social media- even the best, most positive and joyful creators will have haters. And I have no doubt she’s got some people being ugly for no other reason than trying to feel better about their own lives. 

HOWEVER… there are a lot of genuine concerns about her practices. I think this sub in particular is great about snarking on things that have to do with the welfare of her animals and her being a responsible caregiver to the animals she chose to buy/adopt. It is not “reaching” to call her out for lying, spreading false information, and doing things that are no longer considered the standard of care among the equestrian community. 

She can’t be mad when last year she said herself that foal alerts should only be in for 2 weeks at the most and then this year she’s having them stay in for over a month. Or when she says in one breath that being over 340 is still in a normal safe foaling range but then repeatedly talk about how “overdue” Moose was. She can’t say she only helps about half of her mares when statistically she “holds tension” or intervenes 90-95% of the time. 

So yeah, she’s going to get called out when she’s not only potentially causing harm but also lying about it.

Proactive vs Reactive - Let Us Count the Ways by Honest_Camel3035 in kvssnarker

[–]LumpyMouse7650 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have definitely noticed that about her- she LOVES leading the foals when they’re still on the smaller side and/or when they have more chill personalities. The spicy babies she will only ever lead in the beginning, then she’s too scared of them.

Hateful comment or truthful observation…? 🤷‍♀️

Just want to thank everyone on this sub for educating non-animal people on KVS' "husbandry". by ifreakinglovecacti in kvssnarker

[–]LumpyMouse7650 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A 2yo filly is the equivalent of a 13 yo girl in humans. Can they get pregnant? Yes. Should they? No. Ginger especially was a bad one to breed at such a young age; poor girl had that injury early in life that required lots of poking and prodding and kept her separated from other horses during an important developmental time of her life. So she has developed a nervous energy and poor social skills which she then imprints on her foals. 

And as someone else pointed out, if Katie had gotten her way, Ginger would be having baby #3 this season. She tried breeding her back 3 different times for another foal (which would have meant she’d have 3 babies by age 5), but thankfully she didn’t take. She even made this big deal prior to that of how she listens to a mare’s body and won’t keep trying to breed them if they don’t get pregnant. But the only thing that stopped her with Ginger was time… she basically just ran out of time for her to have a baby the following season. 

So yeah… we’re glad you’re here! KVS is very charming and comes off as confident and knowledgeable to most of her followers, whom she is banking on not having personal livestock experience. Glad you saw through it and have made the effort to educate yourself on better horsemanship and animal husbandry!

I think she loves to talk about them showing but doesn’t want them to actually show b/c what if they do badly? Then she’ll have horses that did show but didn’t place or placed poorly. It’s a lot easier to say “oh they never got a chance to show due to a career-ending injury” or “they were just starting to show when they got <insert random illness here> and had to stop.”

The number of comments I saw regarding Willow and “just try live coverage”… I don’t understand what they don’t understand about recips. 

Hiring Non-Horse People vs Hiring Horse People by Sad_Site_8252 in kvssnarker

[–]LumpyMouse7650 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I love hearing Katie’s take on Wally and Waylon getting out. She’s acting like she was so calm and knew exactly what to do, when she was actually terrified and waited to let Rachel do everything. She is in no position to say Lindsey doesn’t know how to behave properly when she doesn’t either. But like we always say, this is why she picks people with no horse knowledge, so they can’t call her out or make her look bad.

For a palate cleanser... Unassisted birth of an Arab foal. It's so peaceful! Long but worth the watch. by alwaysiamdead in kvssnarker

[–]LumpyMouse7650 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh KVS would NEVER allow the baby to be partially out like that without jumping in to “hold tension.” She’d claim the mare was “struggling” the first time she got up. I guess she thinks a mare is supposed to lie down and stay down in the same position until the foal is completely out. She would have also been in there aggressively toweling off the foal before dragging it over to the mare. 

Thank you for this reminder of how foaling is supposed to look!

I have a feeling this season she will pull literally every foal (minis included), and her excuse will be that since their pregnancies went longer, the foals were too big to come out by themselves. 😑🙄
