I agree. Personally I’m sure Jess is lovely she just doesn’t do herself favours at times. Also strange that you get a few newbies just coming on skating her. No smoke and all that
I also thoughts megs post about the 100k followers was really lovely. At times I know she can come across bratty but this was written very heartfelt
Well done Meg* slating ,obvs struggling to spell todayI agree. Personally I’m sure Jess is lovely she just doesn’t do herself favours at times. Also strange that you get a few newbies just coming on skating her. No smoke and all that

I’d say it’s legit alright but is it a genuine post? I don’t know what the large shaming is about, we all make mistakes but large shaming? Not really a mistake is it? It’s fatphobia.

She snapped after being stalked and trolled by the individual she large shamed. Of course, not an excuse for what she said but she did snap and she has apologised for it.
Tbf most us can probably come across as bratty at times. But Meg is definatly not the brattyiest equestrian out there, far from it in fact. We all know who takes that tittle.I agree.

I don’t know what happened. Was it actually large shaming or did she comment on a rider too big for a horse? I followed her new account anyway, her old account was entertaining.
I don’t follow her and don’t know what happened. So speaking a little generally here.
But i agree, if someone’s been offensive I feel like they shouldn’t be given a big platform again. There are loads of genuine and nice people out there trying to make a following online and spending hours on their content, only for people like this to come out of the woodwork again after a scandal? There are loads of good-hearted influencers out there and people who want to become influencers. Why do we need to follow ones that are offensive and fatphobic?
Someone somewhere will still have the screenshots, I'm sure also if you look up 'abuseequus' on Instagram she has a post a little further down on her page, about the whole thing.
From what I remember, Laila used her huge fan base to her advantage, & was quite nasty in saying that she'd post publicly about this girl and humiliate her and then all her followers would be able to go after her. That kinda thing.
We all witch or say something we shouldn't, at some point in our lives. I don't much like her but I understand why she snapped. Anyway. Not sticking up for her at all. She shouldn't have brought up the girls weight, it's very nasty.

It was legit large shaming, she called her a fatty and other stuff, but I don't have the screenshots of it to say word for word. I believe it wasn't even in relation to whatever the conversation was. She was being called out over her winding up of Maisie for views I think.
I think I remember the words she used other than fatty but without confirming I won't say them for sure because I don't want to quote her saying something she didn't. But she definitely at least called her a fatty. Which to me isn't a mistake you make accidentally, nor is it one you make if you're a good person.
Edit I found it using the above comment-
"Oh, and maybe lose some weight"
"Might put you all over my story actually"
"omg I've got a large stalker
"It was over breeding Maisie too, so she says
"Breeding my horse with my choice of stallion with or without papers is my choice, not yours fatty"
"Go to the gym maybe?"
So no, it wasn't accidental or just saying she was too big for her horse, which is something she did say along with ripping the girl to shreds over her riding but I have not seen the girl, the horse or the riding in question. Regardless of whether those things are the case, the way Leila spoke to the girl about all that AND the large shaming was downright disgusting and she doesn't deserve a platform for it.
I've posted the name of the insta user who has infact uploaded all the screenshots if you swipe. So everyone can see for themselves. (I forgot that she did infact upload the screenshots, so ignore my last post haha)
The girl didn't come after her for winding up Maisie, but rather re irresponsible breeding.

No the girl came at her for all kinds of things. The girl didn’t post all of the screen shots, choosing to not post some of the things she wrote to Laila. She made multiple accounts to keep harassing Laila when she was blocked as laila tried to ignore it. She was going at laila from all angles and was persistent with it so laila snapped and yes, stooped to talking about her weight. Not an excuse, but when you have tried for a very long time to simply ignore and block and she continues to message you, including your personal and photography pages and people you work with and friends, you use any thing as a weapon to bite back

She could have just kept blocking tbh. I don't agree with any of it from either side but Leila is the worst of them both for what part she had in it. Maybe she shouldn't have been breeding irresponsibly too
She can do what she likes with her own horse though and she plans on keeping it so
both as bad as each other I say. The other girl was harassing her, you don’t know what else is going on in someone’s life so harassing them online can then make them lash out. At the end of the day she has come back, apologised and moved on. It’s not like she has committed a crime, people do silly things and make mistakes, learn from them and that’s that. To be honest, she didn’t say much worse than some have said on here about RTG!
Anyway….
Glad I’m not in the equestrian world any more and if I were to get back into it, I think I would need to have a sole use yard. I ain’t got no time for drama.
The main reason the girl came at her was to do with breeding. I appreciate there may be tons more screenshots we aren't privy to, but I think it was mainly to do with the whole breeding thing. At least that's what the girl continually posted about her, even in her own stories.No the girl came at her for all kinds of things.

Do you have more screenshots that you could share?
I don't think she was breeding irresponsibly though. Breeding a fancy warmblood is very different to breeding a cob. The majority of Irish cobs don't have recorded breeding. There's no need to only breed from horses with recorded breeding, especially in native types. I dont think layla should have said what she did, however if she'd called her "weird" rather than "fatty" would anyone have cared? I also think it's a bit rich tattle taking the high ground on name calling, when there is name calling throughout - its basically what this platform is for
. Just on this page of thread Tina is called vile. Is that any different?I guess it depends on how and why it was said. I wouldn’t have called Tina vile but her behaviuor towards Em and Addy at the fun ride was all 3 where as bad as each other and it’s amazing how a different vlog gave a different prospective. I can understand them wanting to gallop off at every piece of grass they came across, I would be the same but I would sure as hell make sure everyone in the group wanted the same and would always let the youngest/unfittest horse dictate the pace. That should have been a very educational outing for Addy and I hope her’s and Em’s confidence hasn’t been knocked because they where both doing so well.I don't think she was breeding irresponsibly though.

I didn’t call Tina vile, I called her behaviour vile. Which it was in that vlog. No one is taking the high ground but large shaming is taking it too far. As I said, I don’t know what went on back then. It’s a long time ago, she is entitled to leave the past behind her and move on.I don't think she was breeding irresponsibly though.

yeah I’m not bringing up old screenshots, for one I can’t be bothered. It was some time ago so having to go back through old messages and stuff after a busy day. What’s done is done. I don’t think anyone has a right to call someone out on breeding their heart horse. She isn’t aiming to breed a world beater, just a family pony and a piece of maisie she can keep forever. The mare is at a well known stud who is very knowledgeable with mares, foals and breeding so she is in safe hands.
Have you see Country Grandeur’s stories? I don’t get why she is so offended by the suggestion she was over-horsed? She couldn’t manage his behaviour, it wasn’t her fault necessarily, but she couldn’t. There is no shame in selling a horse that doesn’t suit you.
