Being rude to Drew is the outside of enough. Drew is one of the most helpful, kind, and supportive admins I have ever had the pleasure of working with. #teamdrew
Well - even though I imagine itâs pretty miserable to see that someone took a screenshot of a private email and posted it on COTHâŠ
Drew cemented her reputation as an exceptionally gracious professional with that communication. Good for her.
Thank you! Whatâs the P stand for?
P = paard (horse)
Maybe âpaardâ ?
ETA - Zlotych beat me to it
Thank you all. New pot of coffee, stat!
I agree. What I gathered from the email is that Drew is exceptionally kind, gracious, and professional. Based on Kate Shearerâs publicly posted communications (here and otherwise), I can imagine the preceding email to Drew from her was⊠not kind, gracious, or professional. To say the least.
Others beat me too it. That abbreviation is for the non-English phrase Belgische Warmbloed Paard. Itâs just a coincidence that the first two words would have the same letters in English (Belgian Warmblood).
An unsurprisingly miserable act which will likely have the opposite effect she was going for.
#teamdrew all the way!
Hey thereâs an idea. Kate, since you had no problem posting their email, why donât you post your message to them? Make it even stevens.
A friend of mine with a Fjord who does both dressage and SCA medieval mounted games refers to her mount as BWPââBaby War Ponyâ
So she is miffed at KWPN because they didnât gush enough over her foals. And is therefore going to take her business to BWP? What is she going to do if BWP also declines to gush over her breeding program? As @Virginia_Horse_Mom said - KWPN at least has a bit of understanding about harness bred horses. I am not sure that is also true of BWP.
Iâll get the popcorn and margaritaâs ready! What a poop show!
Itâs obviously a conspiracy.
Kate, since you are so proud of your âuniqueâ breeding program, why donât you tout your DHH pedigrees in your sale ads? Why the deception and why make potential buyers pull teeth to get the mare line information? See attached example.
Another Big Eq horse!!! Whatâs next? Mounted shooting? Civil War reenactment?
My neighbor does this with his horses. Itâs a riot when theyâre at his house rehearsing, complete with black powder cannons.
I am confused, KS says in the comment back that the âbloodlines are listedâ but I only see the name of the stallion in her ad, not the mare.
Did she mean they are listed on some other site that the person asking can go look them up?
That may also be a $64,000 question.
