The other day she screamed at her (very expensive, brilliantly schooled) pony: "You stupid f*cking animal! I hate you! You only think about yourself!"<BR/><BR/>So of course we thought it was hilarious, but on a serious note, someone like that does not deserve to even look at pictures of horses. >:(Dark Elf Warriorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574676854687307420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-25874978011151548082008-11-09T16:29:00.000-08:002008-11-09T16:29:00.000-08:00ALL ABOARD THE FAILBOAT.ALL ABOARD THE FAILBOAT.CATALYST.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12988625449400730377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-75515744016262208112008-11-06T16:44:00.000-08:002008-11-06T16:44:00.000-08:00What really scares me is unsupervised kids who cre...What really scares me is unsupervised kids who create a dangerous situation for themselves and everyone else at the barn. Dear AWOL parents, if you can afford a horse you can afford a babysitter!

She had her own horse that was the perfect first horse. Her mom was the problem though. I couldn't keep her away to keep her mouth shut. I was so glad to be rid of her. Problem was though that the kid really had some ability. I have seen her recently and she hasn't progressed the way I thought she should and the mom is now the expert. I wonder how the other instructors feel!barngalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520363975609562769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-24307702692167444422008-10-31T09:53:00.000-07:002008-10-31T09:53:00.000-07:00Hells yeah Plastique!

Horse slipped the bridle, and took off for the barn, with me hanging on for dear life. We were caught by a groom, who told dad when he caught up to us "She was laughing and wanting to do it again!". Said I wasn't scared at all.plastiqueponihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441108554311078549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-3975547506293464052008-10-30T19:00:00.000-07:002008-10-30T19:00:00.000-07:00Y'know, I hate The Public.

Maybe you should consider a career change too, since it's obvious you hate The Public just as much as I do.<BR/><BR/>I suggest either anthropology or accounting. Both of those give you limited contact with The Public. I'm an accountant.<BR/><BR/>No way would I pay someone for a service who has a nasty, condescending attitude. <BR/><BR/>I spend a LOT of money on my horses, and both their and my training. <BR/><BR/>The day my trainer doesn't treat me with the respect I show her, is the day I take my money to someone else.<BR/><BR/>Just something you might want to consider, since the horse world is small, and the interwebz ain't private.Mack Truckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18198809721673445695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-85078761264383889222008-10-30T13:13:00.000-07:002008-10-30T13:13:00.000-07:00i hate kids. seriously. but it seems to me that if...i hate kids. seriously. but it seems to me that if you make your living teaching kids to ride, you shouldn't say things like this about them where they (or their parents)could possibly see it. <BR/><BR/>i'm just sayin'....~CRUNCHBERRYS MOM~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15710214345990544895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666513011419975671.post-16497272598505287142008-10-29T23:25:00.000-07:002008-10-29T23:25:00.000-07:00LMAO.

When they're talking when the trainer is explaining the jump course and they're talking to their friend.

If they started whining, I'd distract them by telling some story. <BR/><BR/>Now, out of control in the barn is different. I will get very tough on...I have run into parents who think it is OK to drop off EXTRA kids with the lesson kid, as though the barn is the play area at McDonalds. Um, no.fuglyhorseofthedayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748297520774828265noreply@blogger.com
