I have also had a few confrontations and she has even urged her followers to attack me. I’m a nobody but I stuck up for someone and she was not happy.
Be aware that she does read this forum, and she will copy your posts, share them, and urge people to go after you.
She isn’t allowed on the showgrounds.
The previous posts about Jacoma happened on the now dead ultimate dressage bb and is the reason for her pursuit of Jacoma.
posting as an alter to avoid being bullied.
She removed links to the original video and banned anyone who posted it. When the post first went up, there were lots of people chiming in … over 40 comments at one point and a lot of them were going ??? The original video owners have since removed it but it was a decent ride. A little tension here & there but the ride reflected the score.
That moment of resistance is LITERALLY less than a second long. Like, horse flipped it’s head for one moment … could be resistance, could be a fly but it was a moment in an otherwise unexciting test. The tongue out the side thing was about 3 seconds long as the horse licked it’s lips at the end of an extension.
[edit] If you are going to post your thoughts (or slander really) then allow people to post their opinions… deleting and banning just shows how childish and shady she is… 
I am familiar with this woman. She has mental issues stemming from a head injury she sustained. It really is best to simply unfollow and block her personal page and Dressage Hub. It isn’t worth arguing with her. She’s isn’t a stable individual.
The head injury explanation at least brings a little light to it. I am also blocked from commenting on Dressage Hub after I chimed in during the attack on the Canadians earlier this year. She also run the facebook group “ride above hate”, an anti bullying page. Yes, you read that right. Learning that left me blinking at my screen.
I’m assuming this head injury pre-dates her alleged attack a couple of years ago?
Uhh… there’s a thread on here about that Ride Above Hate group with the poster of almost the same name… wonderful. Mods? What can be done?
Report it for being an ad?
Yes, is she the owner of ride above hate? She posts here and had an entire thread advertising her page about bullying if so. Huge joke that is.
The Ride Above Hate FB page that is discussed on the Off Course section is certainly a little odd and random, and appears to have no-one commenting or liking it. OP says she just started it recently, but when I went into search to try to find it, there was a COTH comment thread on it from 2014, so not that new.
I can’t see evidence that it belongs to the Dressage Hub person, though. How did you figure this out? I guess my doxing skills are not as good as I assumed! 
The Riding Above Hate FB group is unfocused, and has the feeling of someone who didn’t want to come straight to the point of whatever the issue was. I thought quite likely a 15 year old who’d had a barn fight with her BFF or something like that. But, rather oddly, it does have a selection of dressage competition videos.
I also went and looked at the Dressage Hub FB and website, just to see what all the fuss was about.
i don’t love what that mouth and tongue are doing, but I also don’t see a blue tongue. I barely see a tongue at all under that foam.
Also flicked back over past posts on the DHub website, and found this pitch for donations from last winter.
All is not right here, on many levels.
I wasn’t following the DHub website or FB group and don’t know the folks involved, and it seems to be a somewhat marginal one-person effort. Though when I look at the FB site it does have over 30,000 followers, so that is a pretty wide reach.
If the showfolks don’t like what she is doing, they can ban her from videotaping (the shows are on private property). They can also send a cease and desist letter from a lawyer if she is defaming them.
Head injuries really are a major problem in the horse world, as I’ve said before and account for some percentage of horse world cray cray, for sure.
She was recently banned from Wellington thanks to the Canadian dressage team (involving her desire to video tape) , which is why she is so agitated. She has been using her personal fb page to mock riders for their scores.
Is DHub girl Canadian? I only ask because usually no one pays any attention to Canadians except other Canadians speaking as a Canadian.
In answer to the question about the legality of some of the videos. I’ve looked through some of what she has, it appears to me that she downloads some videos from youtube and Facebook that others have posted, then rebrands. There are several where the FEI tv symbol is cut out but it is clear that it is that footage, all you have to do is look at the videos FEI TV posted publicly and you can see where she took them and just blew it up to get rid of that symbol.
While Fair Use is not the easiest subject out there, there are a few things that go against what she is doing, namely Commercial activity(anything that has an add that can play on it) and denying credit to the original author. Even if you are following some of the good parts of the guidelines such as only using a small section of it, or editing it differently it doesn’t counteract the reasons you can’t use it. All you have to do is break one of the fair use policies and you’ve broken it.
As a digital artist myself this makes me sad to see someone doing. Doesn’t matter if they are making a profit from it, if you want to get the word out and educate people just share the videos, don’t take them then rebrand them for your site. /rant
Yes
Ah, that’s interesting! What’s she doing down in Florida if she’s not riding or competing? Is she a former groom or competitor? Someone above said head injury. Or is she frenemies with Canadian competitors?
No idea. I’d never even heard of her until all the drama against the Canadian riders this winter, and only saw that because I’m friends with some of them on Facebook
She doesn’t actually do anything, just her social media stuff.
Yes, it does. I believe she had a nasty fall off of a horse and suffered a severe head injury.
She used to ride, but sold her horse. I think the head injury causes issues when she rides and therefore she doesn’t ride much anymore, and her “job” is the social media stuff.
she talked like she has some sort of business, but I have never seen anything besides this trash talk. What I meant was she doesn’t actually ride in FL now, which agrees with what you said.
