Online trainers/armchair trainers bug me so much, especially when they do harmful things with their big followings

As someone who doesn't get to be around horses much I always look for some context in the comments for horsey people to explain a video that was put in a bad light. I also get to learn more about things that way aswell.

I've seen that and don't agree with it at all. Hate the bloody internet trainers. Wasn't there one going about a couple months ago talking about her 36 Olympic horses ro something like that?

It also doesn't help that, with the small snippets where a horse could've bucked or reared due to an unknown reason or god forbid a teenage is riding a pony that any equestrian familiar with size and weight for a horse would recognize, some "online trainer" somewhere feels the need to bash the rider because the horse is" in pain" or "is green and needs more handling before being ridden under saddle." It sickens me going through comments on videos. Especially when non-equestrians pop in...

Ari exactly, same goes with dog breeders too most ethical people breed to maintain good form and health but all you hear about is puppy mills and puts breeders as a whole in a bad light to a lot of people.

Even well respected and seasoned horsemen once in a while should go back to the basics and establish more bonding and humble themselves. Everyone can do with a bit of humbling once in a while. We often lose sight of the small things as humans

I agree Quality, and oftentimes because of phone cameras etc people film the bad apples and try to paint everyone in the same light when in reality it's a few shitty trainers in a big field of really good horse people
QualitySH

I feel like there is nothing wrong with the horse industry as a whole. Some bad apples ruin the reputation but is often a very small percentage of the horse loving community.

With that all said, there's no use trying to sway someone's opinion, especially without proven research and valid examples. The rules of horse racing are updated when problems arise and they are strictly enforced.

I think there are many people in the horse world who've lost touch with the animals and human bonds.....a lot of people need to go back to the basics

Well I can assure you that I have not witnessed the kinds of things you are talking about amongst my competitors and peers, so I'm glad that the things you've seen and talked about are not universal and mostly localised problems

because i don't feel like going and tracking down each individual sign up sheet right now, what disciplines do the active characters ride? Namely, any who ride western, dressage, showjumping, hunters, or eventing? i have to go back and fill in the more professional pairings once i'm more informed.


Bold of you to assume I remember my characters' disciplines.
Aaron: Mainly hunters, a bit of eventing.
Olivia: Eventing
Blair: Showjumping?? I think?
Cam: Showjumping
Conrad: Showjumping
Kay: Does he have a specific discipline? Doubtful. Do I still mark him roughly as eventing/sj? I think so.
Drew: Eventing
Hunter: Eventing
Alex: Eventing/was interested in racing but he got too tall
Ceri: Dressage
Zeke: I put him as SJ, but now I'm rethinking everything. SJ for now, then.

as for tryst, here are a few options:
.
evander - this is a must for me. i think they would get along great. he's a middle-aged instructor dude who is equally laid back and paternal and enjoys really knowing his kiddos. he's filling the eventing spot right now while flip is on hiatus so an interaction there would be extremely ideal.
.
Ben - really quirky, marches to the beat of his own drum. couldn't really care less about social constructs and implications and expectations, spends a lot of time alone and in thought. very poetic and contemplative and animal-loving.
.
Sullivan - very outspoken in a rustic, charming sort of way. doesn't draw attention to himself, but is very involved in friend's lives. he's kind of a protegee of evander and is like an assistant trainer of sorts, he events too so they'd have that in common. he's very sensible and funny.
.
Wes - gentle, shy ball of fluff. extremely introverted, likes to hole himself up in his room when he's not obligated to go out. has some really esoteric, obscure interests and is just kinda a strange but very sweet guy.
.
Diego - really need someone for him but they're gonna have to be resilient and persistent. he's had a really rough life and is very callous and jaded about letting people in. i really need someone to counter him so i can develop though so if he's something you're interested in he's one of my faves.
.
Sofia - bright ball of energy, very livvie-esque. i need a livvie sofia and tryst friendgroup so that's non-optional lol. i haven't gotten her in yet, waiting on some max drama to get her here.
.
i also have a trillion more including a fun lil group of friendly international showjumpers (hp, brielle, heidi) that might pique your interest. let me know what sounds good and i'll throw someone your way :)


Idk how you expect me to choose D: every single option is so good and my mind just saw literally a million different story lines. Evander is a must for me too I think. Tryst is good at eventing but she wants to be great so it would make sense that she would seek out his help/adivce. She talks to her dad a lot but they dont have the best relationship now that she is old enough to see through the ponies and expensive gifts. I could really see her wanting to spend her time with Evander and idealizing him for his talent and caring nature.
This goes for Liath too. I just had a whole maldaptive day dreaming session fo Trysy trying her hardest to be friends with Diego and Dublin because she is such a fixer and honestly the drama could be immaculate. I can just see her staying up all night in her room trying to figure out ways to make them become her friends and wondering why they dont like her (my heart oh </3)
And I could cry at the thought of that friend group between the girls. they are going to be the cutest. Tangle better log on right now so we can plot that.


I'm here, I'm here. Livvie, as we all know by now, is down for anything to do with people so that's all cool.

Louis - Eventing
Arlette - Flat Racing

You guys made like 50 posts over one evening; it's absolutely incredible. Right-so... I should be pretty much completely free today, so I will throw up a post for Louis, Reggie and Arlette later. I will also post the character that will drive the Hunter? plot line - it was Hunter, right? Instead of Vik. Chances are, I will make an intro post as well.

I don't think Reggie's met Brielle yet, so should I bring it into his post? We can see what happens from there, because I don't think I know her well enough yet to cast comment. I like everything else that involves him though!

Louis can easily make fast friends with HP and Max since they're nearby. I'll figure something out with it. Misha, this might involve freeing poor Dubby to meet Evander - or Willa-, if you wish. If not, I'll continue keeping him with Louis and I'll make it work.

With Arlette, if we involve her with Sullivan, I'm thinking she can and probably will end up slowly becoming friends with Drew and we get character development. Because Drew is a polar opposite of her and will bring new things to her table, so as to speak.

I'm pretty sure he's one of Rish's (infinite) characters, but I could be wrong.
