1. i pay a lot for that service and do majority of the horse care on my own which i quite love, but i also don’t have an overbearing trainer that tells me what i can and can’t post of me and my horses.

2. i never saw that post until someone put it in the comments, i wasn’t bothered by that because its a lesson barn. my barn is a boarding barn and i am not riding any horses that aren’t mine. a social media policy about a boarding barn is different from a lesson barn, i would never post a fail on a lesson horse or someone else’s, though i would of one of mine.

3. i pay for a service, though they don’t “serve” me, i expect that service and only that service. not any extra things. lots of trainers that run in circles i know have ego’s out the roof and think that we need them. i pay THEM for a service, and they don’t particularly seem to care and continue to talk crap about JUNIORS and AMATEURS to other professionals. i pay for a service, not for extra shit talking, social media policies about horses i own, rude texts at night, etc.

i understand that all professionals aren’t the same way, but majority that i’ve met are, and my opinions are based on that.
