Would anyone?

[Heinz_57]

You know, looking back… I actually wish I hadn’t bought my own horse so soon. All the money spent on board, grain, shoes, hay, chiropractor, wormer, shots, joint supplements, blankets, bits, saddle pads and other assorted necessary equipment would have gone a LONG, LONG way in lessons and I probably would’ve gone a lot farther. I mean, realistically… between the three I have now, I could take that money and instead have at least 15 lessons per month. And I wouldn’t have stalls to clean, hay to stack, grain to buy, or any of that. Just groom, tack up, ride. No worry about when to retire the old one/if I should inject his hocks, or why the big one looks funky behind today, or that I should really be spending more time on the greenie.

I’m glad I didn’t know enough to know what ‘the medals’ or YR’s or any of that meant when I was of age. All I knew was I wanted to ride and jumping was fun! My parents paid for lessons until I was about your age, OP. Then I was cut off.

I think this may have already been mentioned, but why not aim for the Talent Search Medal? That gives you five years to bring a green horse up and ready for that level.

We just recently qualified for the CET Medal Finals in Toronto, Ontario (I’m Canadian - it’s the same thing as your Talent Search, essentially) and am so happy about it. [/QUOTE]

First, congratulations!!!

Second, :yes: I also suggested setting her sights on the Talent Search because of the longer time line.

OP posted she got the new 4k saddle on Sep 23rd (last week) when she came on asking how to clean and condition it.

She started another thread on the 21st or so asking if 20k was too low to offer for a horse and shared alot of bad habits and bad jumping style to justify such a low offer. Imagine the owner/seller does not appreciate her “expertise” plastered all over the internet. That would also be one less owner inclined to offer her a free ride based on what she has posted.

And there is another thread asking about getting rides for free.

All in the last week or so and all with the same tone and gibberish grammar/spelling.

Knowing she is in Ma. is 15 show age, does the 2’6" but does not own a horse and just got a Tad Coffin the other day? She better hope nobody puts that together, if they have not already. Some very unkind thoughts she expressed will come back to haunt when she begs them for rides. Not going to help her with the 3’ community in her barn she sees every time she rides either.

Actually I bought a Butet. I do Live in MA but i show in ME, CT, RI, and MA. My show age just isn’t 15, i’m 15.

[findeight]

Providing more details to further identify yourself is probably not a great idea at this point if you are going to be asking for free rides.

Out of curiosity, why do you need a Butet if you don’t even have a horse?

[AmmyByNature]

Good quote, southernbelle, since the OP seems to have deleted her last post.

If you have a butet, to whom does this Tad Coffin belong?

I’d day the only thing that cheered me up in this thread is that I may be considered one of the queens. I knew getting old had some benefits. There will be a little swagger in my step tonight as I’m bringing in, rubbing over, and feeding.[/QUOTE]

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Terri, I’ve been kind of parusing this thread for a while now at work. Your story is somewhat like mine - I went to France out of college, got a job at a barn learned to speak French from the lesson kids I taught). Had several more jobs all over Europe as a working student. Made it to Australia - worked there. Returned to the states to “retire”. Rescued a couple of OTTBs to train and sell. Bought a nice dressage greenie and here I am…

My original dreams kinda when out the window - but what an adventure I had…

Dude - Hard work - good tude will get you everywhere!!

I show as 15 right now as of this year…
I know it’s gonna be hard and i know i need alot of money to do it but i’m sick of all this politics stuff with riding. Most people tell the people without alot of money that they will never make it anywhere crushing what they really want most in life.

With people willing to help out any good rider should be able to make it to the Maclays despite the lack of money they have. Atleast i won’t be the one just sitting there looking pretty, i will be working for what i get out of the horse.

Sorry i get really aggitated when people suggest than without money you will never make it.[/QUOTE]

Your show age isn’t 15??

[findeight]

WOW, OP did take out the additional information that could lead to being identified…but not before somebody memorialized it by quoting it.

Too bad, soo sad. Once in cyberspace, forever in cyberspace. If you get nothing else out of this trainwreck, try to understand the eternal life of anything and everything once posted. And how quick and easy it is to find.

I’m done for today…anybody up for sleuthing?

[showidaho]

This thread has kept me amused for hours…I almost hope it doesn’t end. If it goes into the night I’m going to make popcorn and uncork some wine. I have a feeling I’m not the only one, so cheers to COTH readers. This is quite entertaining.

[AmmyByNature]

This thread seems to be getting shorter. Is the OP deleting all her posts? Good thing pretty much everything got quoted already…

[TarheelJD]

So, now we know Properetiquette1 is a blatent liar – two of them memorialized above, despite her efforts to now cover her tracks.

Sweetheart, I know you don’t take any advice that is given to you, but listen up – abandon the Properetiquette1 screen name, because we all know you for what you are now. Lay low for a few months while we all forget about you, then use another screen name to come back on and hope you aren’t eventually found out. “Elysian Fileds Farms” aka “bayou_begal” took this approach, and for the most part folks have forgotten her lapse in judgment in December, 2010.

Interestingly, OP was all over bigeq this summer asking if people would lease their sale horses, and if they would be at Vermont for her to try.

Something isn’t adding up.

[OveroHunter]

Oh wow, it has gotten a lot shorter.

[eclipse]

Well, she’s definately not laying low…new thread, and oh so similar!! :eek: :lol:

And just in case it too gets deleted:

I cant afford to lease off farm or buy a horse of my own but I can catch ride. So I was wondering what inclines you to let someone catch ride? Im not really well known or well exposed so how do I get myself out there? Should I ask people if they need someone to catch ride?

About my Riding: I know all the basics obviously walk, trot, canter, gallp. I know how to put a horse on the bit easily. I know shoulder in, shoulder out, and counter canter. I can handle spooking. I know how to jump and get my distances just about every single time. I can go up to 2’6 at this moment.

Yep - she’s wiping out everything she can. I guess she doesn’t realize almost all of her fabrications and ridculousness were memorialized in other people’s quotes.

But in all seriousness - what a disturbed teenager to come on a BB and just lie her head off. I hope she gets some help before she continues this behavior as an adult, when the consequences will be far worse.

Actually, that sounds like it adds up pretty well… maybe not the price tags, but the thought process.
