why are you questioning this? Simply because DH reported?
As someone who has seen them ride and know for a fact their friends use abuse in training, this doesn’t surprise me at all.
They are both currently suspended by EC again.

Didn’t FEI suspend them as well?
It seems that there are many real witnesses to abuse who were willing to cooperate with investigators
It’s unfortunate DH has become enmeshed with this story… it inevitably leads to people wondering if there is some sort of vendetta underneath the allegations.

yes it is but unfortunately she’s the only one willing to report on these things.
I’m in no way a supporter but I’m grateful she’s sticking her neck out on this one.
20 years of being reported and it took DH for a suspense to happen.

Is she sticking her neck out? Or just cashing in on an opportunity.
After learning of her full back story she is just so gross to me. Blech.
I see a couple of mutual friends on Strassers FB page. That is also blech.

Yes I agree, DH may not be a perfect person but obviously she has the guts to expose wrongdoings…
nobody else in the Horseworld does 
.
And all these “good” horse people who get excited when a new video pops up are really doing nothing….
For example AH just bought the most expensive young stallion in Oldenburg for 2 Mio. (Probably not the price he really paid but still….) He is doing business as usual…
I still believe unless PETA will shut down horse shows nothing will change….

She’s accusing Robert Dover of being a ped* groomer.
That’s not “not a perfect person”, that’s a nasty psychopath.

Well as far as I remember you made some nasty comments about me in the past. They were wrong and unnecessary… so what?
Did she make comments about you personally or did you simply decide to become Robert Dovers advocate ?

There is a difference between a nasty comment and accusing someone of grooming children for sexual exploitation.
I’m sorry that the difference between the two is apparently lost on you.

Not sure why you’ll are so determined to produce hate about some people…. Just saying Allan Buck reinvited me…. obviously he read my complains and tried to do better…. maybe Dressage Hub is trying to do better as well….
Early on when she was in FL she went after a trainer who is from my area as a personal vendetta, she is not an abuser or a pedi…just a hardworking mid level trainer. I can’t forgive her for that. I will NEVER be involved in her bullshit.

Well you don’t know me and still made nasty comments… do we have all information we need to judge Robert Dover? I usually don’t believe anything I hear about anybody until I confirm it myself but I try to store information in my head to apply it once the occasion comes….
I don’t know Robert Dover personally I don’t know Dressage Hub personally and I do Iike some things and dislike some things about both of them……
I refuse to ignore the good things somebody does simply because the person does bad things as well….

I remember that drama and the giant COTH thread about it. Like I said, not saying abuse hasn’t happened, but the personal vendettas make people skeptical.

How do you get involved in her bullshit if you simply watch and process what she makes public about some people….
in the moment DH is after J v.BW. I used to be a huge fan of her and I still do participate in her Fitnessprogramme. But I know that I have heard in the past (from a person I respect very much, living in her neighborhood) that she is not really the person she shows in the public). So now I got some new information from different persons from different directions and I am still processing it…. So yes I do watch what she publishes…
I am a firm believer that a high percentage of professional dressage is rotten and abuses horses . And for me it’s really really horrible that most people ignore this and attack the few people who try to expose this dark part of the “industry”

So, by your standards, a person on this forum could accuse another poster of these same offences, and those posts be allowed to stay public because the moderators “don’t have all the information”?
If the poster was of otherwise good standing, you would ignore the fact they defamed a random poster - by calling them a CS offender -because they posted nice things about other people as well.
If I am wrong in my interpretation of your post, I welcome you to set me straight on the matter.

I don’t remember that your posts about me were moderated. I am sure you can still read them if you dig deep enough so don’t ask me……
In the absence of a “no, that’s not what I meant”, I will accept your reply to mean “yes, that is what I mean”.

This is the weirdest flex. Just saying.

Why??? I was happy that my impression of him was not that wrong…. I completely understand why he kicked Kyra Kyrklund out…. I suspect he was right about why she joined ….
It’s weird that you pine to be in that particular clique. You want the attention and recognition of a nobody with a toddler mentality? I’ll pass.

It sounds like their is credence to the Strasser issues.
However, that doesn’t change the fact that DD has launched personal vendettas, and bragged about doing so, against multiple horse world people, and has invented things to say.
In other words, she is absolutely unreliable and has a mean streak.
Every once in a while, yes, she will jump on an issue that is part of a wider conversation and will try to use that to engage audience or draw in new audience.
But after what I’ve seen of her, I would never take anything that was exclusive or unique to her platforms as true. Because most of the time it has proven not to be true. And if she is just repeating things already on public record then there’s no need to go to her platforms because the information will be available elsewhere from more credible sources.
