(little insight... I'm not small, standing at 5'6 and weighing 150 lbs) * my instructor tells me to do a turn on the forehand on a very stubborn horse * -10 minutes later- * my leg is literally falling off I think I am going to die I've been kicking for hours * * my instructor * "WHAT ARE YOU, A 3'2 BABY WITH PUDGY CHEEKS AND FLOPPY ARMS?! KICK HARDER!" "HARDERRRRRR" "YOU LOOK LIKE A DODO BIRD. YOU'RE LEGS ARE FLAPPING AROUND LIKE THEY CAN FLY. YOU DO KNOW IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO FLY YOU FLAP WITH YOUR ARMS, RIGHT?" -ten minutes later... I still haven't got the horse to move and quite literally am passing out- * instructor gets whip and smacks horse so hard it flies across the arena, almost leaving me in the dust * * instructor * "SEE? I got him to move!" |

Dusty, that's... not okay. Your trainer should be training, not insulting you like that. |

That's also not ethical to the horse, kicking so much and hitting them, the horse must not understand the cues or something must be off, that is a training red flag |

"Okay not going to lie,im just kidding.That last jump looked disgusting." "USE YOUR LEFT REIN TO PULL HER OVER.LEG.RAIGEN!LEFT LEG AND RIGHT REIN IM NOT GOI- See?Lovely." "That was really hard to you?Seems like it.Took you eight minutes to do it." (Im sweating like a dog,trying to catch my breath after posting on a really bouncy horse) "Go do it again." (NOOO) (This is whenever I rode a gelding[see below]) "His tounge is like a snake.He just hangs it out like, 'I don't care and never will" horse trips over air "oh no.....the invisible turd is back!so fun,vet bills will be coming in like crazy." *I fall off at the first barrel after not sitting deep enough* *trainer walks over and helps me up* "Well,good job.You showed me not even the fourth years can sit and turn." |

He refused ut last go around " Trainer:"WRONG ANSWER " I also train western so My dad:"he looks like a Simi truck at a four way " My dad:"get your stop Get.Your.Stop GET YOUR MOTHERFUCKING STOOOOOP" my dad"I will fight you make him turn on his hind" My mom "COLLECT HIIIM AROUND THE CORNER BEFORE I DO" Mom:"dee sweet baaby boiii cHiLd UsE yOuR cOrE" |

my teacher/trainer is really big on not kicking hard, but nudging lightly with heels, so sometimes she says this- "your horse is not a rocket, so don't take off like that!" and she often uses annalogies about steering, like this- "Imagine that you are holding a tray of stacked OREOs. You don't want them to fall, so don't tilt the tray" tilts hands and makes a pretend crashing sound and another time we were on a trail ride and saw a frog- "Oh! look at the frog. Now pay attention to where we are going" and that time one person did not, and got hit in the head with a tree "This is why we look up. The horses don't have untied sholaces." |

She literally said this every lesson, lol: "PUNCTURE HIS LUNGS!! In a nice, loving way." - Similarly; "RIP HER LIPS OFF! In a nice, loving way." |
