“Well, Suzie Q, everyone does have the right to their own personality. But I want to give you some helpful advice - you may find the atmosphere to be pretty unfriendly if you’re going to act that way. The group of ladies here are really very nice and cordial, but we don’t tolerate rudeness, intended or not. You might want to think on that.”[/QUOTE]
Huh? Have you got the right person? I did not say how to act other than to be a good rider. This is what I said.
>>>Blew both suspensoroies? Either her horses conformation is no good or her training is no good or her horse was too obese, so why listen to anything she says?
When my boy came off the track you could see his ribs for about a year. You couldn’t see them with the saddle blanket on so I didn’t worry about it too much.
According to John Kohnke, who is an Australian vet. It is only humans who want their horses fat all year round. In nature they lose weight over winter and it is us keeping them fat all year round which is contributing to Cushings Disease - And aren’t you just coming out of winter?
It is very true the saying. “It is fine to have a fat tb in your paddock but it is your own fault if you cant ride it.”
Boiled barley is famous for giving an apple rump and not going to their head. You can add some rice too if you wish.
Relax. Smile and you can ride your horse and she can’t while it is injured and if she doesn’t change why it happened, it will be out again.
There is also the saying that ‘noone is as good or as bad as you first think they are.’ - and she did comment that she liked her on the video.
You can learn something from everyone. You don’t know what you will learn from her but it might just be how not to act when you first meet someone.
As an instructor we were taught to love all horses.
The best revenge is to be a good rider and have a wonderfully behaved horse, have that as your goal. It sounds like you might have achieved that goal already but we can keep learning and improving…so can she…>>>>>>>
If you are referring to me not being too worried about seeing his ribs, he was a horse right off the track and had raced 5 weeks before. He was putting on weight from the day he arrived. He was a young big horse and he was still growing and grew to 16.2h from about 16 h. He was energetic and full of life, so no I didn’t worry too much and at about the year mark he stopped growing up and started growing out.
The chiropractor said.“He is a big horse.” I said,“Yes the girls at home said so too, so we measured him.” The chiropractor said, “I wasn’t talking about his height” I can show you a photo of him the day he came home and a photo of him exactly one month later if you wish.
If I was to say how to act then I would say do not agree with anyone if they say something about someone else if you don’t agree.
If you say nothing or just nod or say yes to try and shut them up it will get back to the other person that you actually said it. If you say the opposite that will get back to them as well.
As the person who this thread is about has read this thread, I wonder if they are doing anything about the horse being morbidly obese?
We talked last night and I think the hostility is over with. Honestly, I’m a bit annoyed with myself for venting my anger on the internet instead of just talking to her. Yes, she said some very rude, painful things. But honestly? I’m a social idiot. She very well may have meant that apology and just phrased it badly, and I was already upset and ran with it. So I’m going to stop posting here and bury the hatchet.[/QUOTE]
