So this reeks of desperation !

I wonder why there has not been legal action taken against her, especially by SJ? Needs to be sued for defamation or whatever and slap a link on Rate My Horse Pro. SW is rewarded by people letting her trample all over them. I had an issue with a very similar [edit] in Wellington who was full of threats and demands. One letter from an attorney where I called the shots deflated her immediately. She was also a litigious trust fund [edit] case…but when confronted with reality, they leave with a whimper.

Good, because I doubt any sponsor would want to sponsor someone who is trying to destroy reputations and the dressage world.
NO one agrees with the methods that some trainers use. But you also don’t need to tear down people who don’t deserve if. Bad media is not good media. She will become a nobody in soon time, this just has to run its course. The fact that people still feed into her kool aid is hilarious. The fact that she can’t come up with her own media to talk about is laughable. If she was actually wanting to benefit the dressage world, her direction on poor training wouldn’t be name calling, she should be talking about PRODUCTS and how they are bad, not people and how they use them. The minute you bring in a name to a rant you are officially bullying. She is a bully, and no one will want to support her in the long run., She’s just a train wreck that you can’t look away from. Its so bad you want to look away but its so bad you can’t stop.
It’s a shame really because that site could be something with great success, IF she chose to talk about training methods and not PEOPLE. She is no better than bad trainers because she talks just like them, bad about everyone. Sickening.
I’m glad no one sponsors her. I’m shocked anyone would PAY her to read her stolen [edit] from other youtube channels.

It might be worth having some sort of watermark type thing in a prominent place on videos you upload to youtube. It can’t be near the edge of the frame or it gets cropped out!!
I’m a photographer and even having your name plastered across the middle of a photo doesn’t stop people stealing, but at least anyone who sees it can look you up.

Susan Jaccoma has taken the high road. Dressage Hub and the few people who read it are either the same envious sort or are ignorant of the sad case this Wachowich woman is. There are evil people in this world and sometimes it is far better to have no contact at all. There also comes a realization that it is a waste of time dealing with some people and that time can be better used. Dressage Hub will find it’s own level.

I also saw no ads on DHub, just a lot of white space up the side of the blog that looks like it was left for ads.
I saw no ads on her videos either
How do ads work on YouTube? Do specific advertisers sponsor a particular channel or video? Or does YouTube just generate random ads for videos? And are the videos linked to the channel or the viewer?
For instance when I preview Martin Luther King’s I have a dream speech video on my office computer where I’ve done a certain amount of blocking Google cookies and tracking. I don’t get an ad.
But when I show it to the class on the classroom computer and projector we always have to sit through then skip some generic cereal ad.
So to some extent YouTube ads follow the viewer and don’t care about the channel.
No one to approach on this.
Wondering how SJ got her domains back from SW?
As an aside, check this out. Google go.full.throttle complaints. Interesting character study

I remember checking her site when everything started to hit the fan a few months ago. There was as bunch of mumbo-jumbo on the left side of the page, Asking for donations and what a monthly payment could get you from DH. The site was dark blue and VERY busy, this site is nothing the same. Has her site changed in the last few months?
She didn’t as far as I know. There’s a “Fans of Susan Jaccoma Dressage Rider”. The FB page that SW had control of was called “Susan Jaccoma Dressage” or something along that lines. Maybe that was only the youtube channel. I can’t recall now.
Love it!! (Just hope SW doesn’t steal it.)

With all the craziness that SW has caused, I’m shocked anyone still follows Dressage Hub.
When SW first moved to Florida and started her blog, I followed her on Facebook “Susan Wachowich, FEI Dressage Rider” . That was one of the first hints [edit], b/c I’m friends with quite a few people who successfully show FEI but none of them advertise that directly after their names in such a blatant way, but I didn’t know her personally and I thought the idea of an AA sharing her time in Wellington was an interesting idea. Then when everything hit the fan with SJ I unfollowed anything do do with SW, including DH. A few months ago, a FB friend shared a DH meme that was really mean-spirited and fat-shaming. When I pointed it out, my comment (and others I read that pointed out the same issue) were all deleted and anyone that made the critical comments were blocked. So professional :lol:. She then made a public post about how DH was a place for fun or something like that, and that’s why criticism wasn’t welcome. I didn’t realize bullying riders who are different sizes is considered to be “fun.” Such a lovely person . . .

The “FEI Dressage Rider” thing made me laugh too. Most reputable riders don’t need to advertise that because their performance / results speak for themselves. If you had just two FEI scores on record and they were both in the 50s, would you promote yourself as an “FEI dressage rider?”

Shockingly she is no longer welcome in TOB’s FB group. A ban well earned.
didn’t realise that she ever was welcome???
i know the religious- craycray- breeder of coloured warmies still occasionally posts - or she did, but totes didn’t realise the wannabe chick did too.
(previous last sentence, redundant, hence deleted)
Who or what is TOB?
There used to be a BB called Ultimate Dressage. It eventually died but some members started a FB group.
Her personal page -
A good lawyer tells you how to keep it legal. A super awesome lawyer tells you how far you can bend the law before it breaks! Who knew I would make business an extreme sport? Lol
I know a lot of people are working around the clock to get people to unlike Dressage Hub, I just want all of you to know, that your efforts have not gone unnoticed! Thank you!!

I believe in karma. She already has a reputation and she thinks that is admirable.

She has made several allegations that SJs fans are making death threats, she says she has spoken to lawyers, the police, and is now on a private plane to a secret location.

You know, if she truly wants the dressage community to believe her, why not post screenshots of the death threats or any kind of proof that she is being bullied? You can only cry wolf for so long.
I had an older trainer who thought everyone on COTH was being mean to her and that she was always the “victim” yet still kept trying over and over again to be friends with people on here. Once I got away from her toxic personality, I finally realized that she provoked all of the drama herself but she was completely oblivious to this fact. She never knew what she was doing was wrong.
