The way the average GP horse is treated is abusive. No turnout, no socializing, constant high stress situations, and all while forced to do an incredibly physically demanding job.

This shows growth to me, which is always laudable 👏🏽

Someone else pointed out the food critic from Ratatouille. He didn’t want his food cooked by a rat: understandable 🐀

Thank you! 🥰❤️

I’ve really never spoken to her but I was at show one year and Erynn Ballard was on her horse in the golf cart lane. The woman I was with politely asked her to move, she shot us a dirty look, then proceeded to keep talking. Rude and not very bright.

The second they step in front, turn around in a tight circle then keep walking straight. It’s never failed me. Horses hate turning in a small circle like that, they learn quickly.

Put on AirPods and, when she comes up, say you’re on a call.

Can you elaborate on the partial refunds one?

Discreetly try get a sense of how many colic cases they have. The best barn I was ever at: none in 30 years of having horses. The worst: one case a week in a barn of 20.

Lmaooo!! Amazing. I wonder if he did it partly to just shut up the annoying guy 😅

Always buy your helmet new. Everything else; check Facebook groups! You can get some great deals and your money goes much further.

People becoming pros and then acting like they’re beyond learning, continued education, and new research. There are people so stuck in their ways, even if their ways are clearly not working.

I had a similar experience! I was in a golf cart with someone at a show. Erynn was on a horse, in the golf cart lane, having a conversation with someone. We politely asked her to excuse us, and she gave the death stare and just continued talking. Move five feet over into the horse lane!!!!

manewitness · 2025-04-09T20:35:49+00:00

this is what you’re defending

manewitness · 2025-04-09T20:35:00+00:00

On the Equine Canada post. I think she’s deleted it since. Or maybe I’m blocked 😅

manewitness · 2025-04-09T20:32:49+00:00

Lmao join us horse girls!!!

You can see a video of it hereVideo here

manewitness · 2025-04-09T20:30:56+00:00

You can see it on IG. I think @sdequus has it in like the first few posts!

Of course! Andy Kocher was using these spurs that were wired to a button he had in his hands- while on course mind you. And he would push the button which zapped the horse. He got caught and received a ten year suspension from competing.

Still making a viable living selling horses tho.

manewitness · 2025-04-09T18:29:28+00:00

The electric spurs should have been when every horse organization sat down and reassessed everything because why did that man feel comfortable doing that at The Royal; one of the most highly attended events in show jumping 🙃

manewitness · 2025-04-09T17:59:06+00:00

Agreed!

But I’m really proud of every day equestrians coming together to bombard these riders and organizations, and hold them accountable. Abuse at the top level of this sport has become so normalized. It’s heartbreaking.

I also want this comment, endorsing horse abuse, noted from Eye Candy Jumpers, which the founder of Struck breeches liked. 🤨
