Who is this guy?

And is he being serious?

I was laughing at first but then I thought “maybe he means it”, which made me laugh even harder. But who is he?

He’s been around for a minute. Literally just a German rider/trainer based in the US and perpetually dismayed by it. Has his moments and can be funny. Recently think he’s been on a real push to monetize, either as some sort of influencer or maybe selling a training course or something.

I did make it past the first minute. Sorry, I look like a bag lady when I go to the barn. And I ride in those clothes. Sorry, we don’t even have a tack store in our city (300,000-ish people). I have an odd body type so ordering on line is akin to finding the right saddle…not going to waste my time. Not currently showing, lesson-ing, or clinic-ing. My horse doesn’t care. If I do return to any of those activities, I will spiffy up. For everyday riding…not so much.

The part that I laughed the hardest at, but yet agreed a bit was walking the course. I don’t think a rider needs to wear their finest threads to walk a course, but of course you need to have your head in the game.

What is his name? Is he located in Florida?

“Show Attire”
“Sloppy Course Walks”
“I see people at a proper horse show”

He is not talking about how folks behave at home. This is specifically a rant about how you present yourself at shows.

Bahaha!! OMG :joy:

Hard to say whether or not he’s serious, but this is pretty funny – and I think he needs a few more sponsors on his shirt :thinking:

Is that The German Trainer? I have seen some of his videos and he is hilarious. I don’t know who he actually is though.

His stuff is comedic, mostly! That’s been his social media “brand” for years - tongue-in-cheek, unserious, a bit of satire and hamming it up for the camera. I think he’s funny, but I can understand how people might take a dislike to his content. Especially if they stumble across one and don’t “get” that he’s rarely being serious.

However, I will point out that I did not watch the posted clip because I’m on a FB/Insta/Tik Tok break, so I may be commenting this about the one clip in a minute where he’s being serious :woman_facepalming:t3:

Yes all the “badges” of sponsors made me laugh. But I wasn’t sure if he was serious about those either. :smile:

So not knowing him I’m going to take his video as satire. He seemed funny but it kind of dragged on from humor to a rant.

That’s Ronny Reimer, he lives in Ocala/Morriston near HITS.

I follow him on Insta-- he’s got both funny content (his “Sandy Bottoms” character is hilarious!) and serious riding/training videos.

I do as well. The whole rant about “horse show nannies” actually had me laughing. There is at least some truth to his comedy, though.

I watched it with the sound off and captions so I got the entertainment of “show a tire” and “mountain block”.

So I saw this one today and it is right on point with poor riding and horse shows. Nothing to laugh at because it’s true.
