| 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. |

| Dandy 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... |

| Anywho, this was an interesting conversation thank you for the entertainment lol but it's late. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow lol |

| 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. |

| Luna That's a great point, it's never a bad thing to recenter and humble yourself Void and Trish Yup, all for views and controversy and shock value. Especially when it's marketed towards non horsey folk |

| or the videos are only a few seconds long to catch a bad angle or bad view or a slip in judgement |
| Painted Perfection |
| 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 |
| The Old Gods |
| Or the videos are edited in such a way that removes important context. |
| The Joker |
| 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. |
| Painted Perfection |
| In the end, its what's best for the horses not the people riding them. Horses didnf choose to be riden but they tolerate it |
| Dandelion Farms |
| Cali 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. |
| Painted Perfection |
| 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 |
| QualitySH |
| I think there is always a stigma in any hobby really and opinions that always clash against each other. |
| The Joker |
| 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 |
