We are Equestrians

Equestrians...Easy?
Okay? So have you ever worked with an animal TEN times your size, with a mind of its own? Have you ever done a dance with something that speaks another language? Still think its easy?
ilovemy-thoroughbredcross: saddlesnsapphires: shanfog1: fourstarsorbust: equine-fact: I love how this Olympic level rider has to clamp a noseband (very tightly I might add) and use a stud chain to control her horse. I find that rather pathetic… i find it rather pathetic that you feel entitled to shit over everybody that you feel the need to, yet you cannot back up your arguments with anything more than, “omFG abuSe!1!!!!!! it’s uncomfortable you’re causing pain!!! bits are bad boycott nosebands!!!! i read this article on rollkur and it’s bad!” i would love to *see* (not read—see) your present-day credentials, and maybe even witness you working with a horse that has the caliber to compete successfully internationally. (p.s.: the horse’s show bridle and a lead shank are actually required in jogs up.) (p.p.s: just because you disagree with it, does not mean it’s bad.) (p.p.p.s.: opinions are not facts.) (p.p.p.p.s.: i would love for you to speak extensively about something you did NOT read about from a biased article on the internet. again: i’d love to see some real, raw credentials.) ^^ THAT COMMENT! KK YOU GO TRAIN THAT HORSE THEN COS YOU’RE BETTER THAN AN OLYMPIAN AN ALL You should try controlling Alf, he’s super lively and strong!
