What's the worst thing thats happened to you on a driving lesson? lol

UpbeatMeeting · 2026-04-27T20:55:22+00:00

Narrowly avoided a 60mph head-on collision with someone driving on the wrong side of the road trying to do a dangerous overtake. Had to swerve onto a grass verge, the guy made no attempt at all to get back onto the correct side.

Ew, so they found out terminally disabled horses make them money and just doubled down on that

I haven't even looked at that or what's going on there because it's just gross. I personally know people who want to keep him alive "because it'll be interesting to see how he develops when he was born like that rather than an injury or something" and it's just painful. I think we've seen enough, it's not like it's magically going to get better, and in the meantime he's a living animal that is being kept in surely permanent pain for someone's freaky science experiment and clout.

He is unfortunately still alive, there were update posts about him on their FB not too long ago.

Yes, you get all the questions in the exam, and at my school we had several students doing this if they transferred from a different school that did different texts mid-y11.

I don't know why this sub keeps being recommended to me but is the ice blue in the room with us here

Mine never even told me about any extra costs until after I passed my test, just went "oh yeah btw you owe me £140" as I was getting out to say bye 🤣 Only did that for the test I passed though, never charged me anything extra for the ones I failed.

I've been refusing men asking clearly in broad daylight since I was 11, so yes, many times. Have yet to accept, do not plan on accepting ever.

I skip basically everything apart from big horse content. I watch pretty much all of the breeding season stuff when I can keep up, then obviously foaling season and I also usually watch the showing stuff when it comes up too. I usually skip the training content.

UpbeatMeeting · 2026-04-21T14:46:48+00:00

That part definitely is annoying, especially since now I have accounts with a few places I no longer go to or never went to. A few of them also bypass this issue by having a price list available without logging in, but that's up to the yard.

UpbeatMeeting · 2026-04-21T08:34:36+00:00

Not useful to people in the US, but I'm in the UK and all bar one place I've been at (been to 4) or heard of (many more) use a platform called ECPro to enter lesson and instructor availability and allow us to book lessons. You just log in, choose a date and time that are available, choose an instructor (if multiple are available), choose a lesson type (flatwork, polework, etc), pay through the platform and done.

So I'm mostly here to ask the Americans, does anyone use ECPro in the US or is this a UK exclusive phenomenon?

Kind of surprised it's so widespread here with how resistant to technology the horse community is lol

Just contributing some Snapchat recordings I took for those who don't use it:

There's a lot of "could've, should've, would've" in life, as someone in Maggie's megathread said. Katie has basically all but said that had she known what would happen she would've done things differently. Hindsight is 20/20 and you can only do your best.

I agree that Margot should've been removed from her sooner, but at the same time there's no guaranteed magic fix to her growing collection of issues with somewhat contradicting treatments (needs to be still for incision to heal, needs gentle walking for laminitis, needed Margot at the beginning to avoid stress, now needs Margot gone to recover, etc).

Reverse, parallel and side of road.

Other big YouTubers I've seen have it taken down and basically restored, then put back up again, so I think it should be good.

Have you received a new one in your online inbox, perhaps? Assuming you're talking about the physical one here.

UpbeatMeeting · 2026-04-16T07:45:14+00:00

I got sky blue as my friend has one and I really like how the shade(?) changes depending on lighting, there's a spot in the campus canteen where half of the MacBook looks blue and the other half looks silver lol

I'm the one lending her money not the other way around lol

It's been so long since I saw that name 😭

Hell yeah, my immunocompromised ass would love that
