Equestrian Influencers #2

[Jenievous]

I feel she’s had a lot of unnecessary hate in the past but this isn’t one of those times. Agree with the people who’ve said she’s acting up for the camera in the vlog. Some of the situations they all ended up in on the fun ride were so clearly avoidable.

It's literally gone from "I was in the wrong and I apologise", to
"You're all negative nellies" and that we're unhappy people- Because she was held accountable for her actions as a public figure.
All I saw was genuine critique for her actions and she's blown it up to act like people are just hating on her for the sake of it. When you become a popular figure you have a responsibility to behave in a responsible way. And not act like a baby about it when you get called out on your shit. It's really that simple.

Totally agree with the Y Food crap. Really irresponsible and they can spout the ‘it’s a meal in a bottle’ but it’s not a proper meal and I wonder how much sugar is in those things?

at one point, a few years ago, I was deep into my ED and couldn’t eat solid food. I was put on ensures 4 times a day as I hadn’t eat for so long and slowly weaned off of them onto solid food. Those things wreck your teeth and ED’s play havoc with your digestive system and has led to people having stomach paralysis.

so I don’t agree with these meal replacements. I certainly don’t agree with promoting it and these ‘influencers’ should really take a long, hard look at themselves.

This seems a bit unnecessary and I don’t understand the correlation? I have 10k worth of equipment in my bag and people are jealous of influencers getting free saddle pads. Should we also be jealous that you have the disposable income to spend 10k on equipment?

Wouldn't that be considered a business expense? I know a lot of people who would be jealous to have 10k worth of equipment to have to video your horses and have all those memories saved forever.

Meg

She’s one of the worst in my option, was stroppy about ever vlogging with anything other than her iPhone for ages, and now wants to show off her expensive kit.

Also she wouldn’t answer able to do this job or have ever got there without her parents completely supporting her, which is wonderful for her, but somewhat grating to watch when she’s then so childish about things. Her mum literally looked after all horses while she was at uni so she could come back in the holidays and ride, which is when she went to badminton and actually starting vlogging. Her parents own the yard and as far as I’m aware all of her *her* horses (with perhaps an exception being the recent auction horses where they went thirds with another lady).

Tina would be better just to ignore comments of here or maybe just take it as realising how some people do feel. If some people are writing it, more are thinking it…

Imagine being Charlotte and being so consumed with your own self importance that you think people will give a shit you unfollowed them.

Looking at videos of her jumping the grey, it’s safe to say that self awareness isn’t her thing. That horse must have a mouth of steel

If Victoria Brant reads these threads … PLEASE stop driving and updating Instagram at the same time!! It makes me worry so much!! Especially if you have precious cargo on board!

Everyone and their dog are being gifted EquiDry's at the moment as well, I'm surprised they have any stock left to sell at this point

I fell for the hype from advertising but then saw someone wearing one and quickly cancelled my order

I would love Country Grandeur to buy a horse and share again. There was something I loved so much about following her journey because she made me appreciate the little things in my own journey and she romanticised this lifestyle so much which just made me feel like I was living in her fantasy. I think cos she gets so much shit, she’ll be reluctant to share but I hope she does share as I’d love to follow a new journey. Don’t we all have horse issues?

definitely NOT any horse that ends up in her care either dies, ends up with some sort of injury or behavioural problem, sold off to another home, or just disappears never to be seen or heard from again. Kate does not need any encouragement to buy another horse. She bought a Shetland recently and I think that is the peak of her abilities. Yes, she did romanticise her lifestyle, and That’s because she lived in dreamland. She doesn’t work, doesnt parent her boys (who are now teens/pre teen), gets an allowance from Max, spends her days dicking about with horses that are massively Above her skill level and not a whole lot else. So unless you are in this same position and can be a lady of leisure and constantly go to your hubby for handouts, this is NOT a realistic lifestyle

Oh my god, I can’t believe that blog of a cob is riding her young Connemara now I have always said she is a fab rider, but she is too big, even for her other horses, let alone a baby and a bloody small Connemara.
im glad she was eliminated on her other grey at that show. I don’t know what happened but these riders need to take a long hard look at themselves. They are more than ‘plus size’ and if they want to be riding, they need to get it together and get serious about improving their health and losing weight for the sake of their horses and themselves.

re mark todd (sorry a little behind) he seems so aggressive in the way he moves towards horse, his body language is just not it. How people are defending him is beyond me. Yes it is sad as he is such a huge image in the horse world, no matter what your discipline but i just can’t see how people are defending him, it’s so hard to watch (and yes incomparable to a little whip)

LOTLR smashing the Y food promo’s again.
I get it but why can’t we just stick to Equesterian items.
mid I was too nervous to eat, there is absolutely no way I’d get a milky drink down me before a competition!

I always think this, for me a thick sweet yoghurty milky drink would just come straight back up the morning before an event looking the same as it did when it went down

 

[unwanted.opinions]

She was the only one in the class! View attachment 1197008

Does it matter how many where in the class? She made the effort and turned up and if she got a decent score then let her be happy she won. She may be a bit OTT and annoying sometimes but no need to sap her joy.

I just caught up with wimpyeventer's latest post and I can't believe how much she's pulling on poor pea's mouth!!

Sady there are numerous riders like that, that seem to haul on the horses mouth for balance. If you aren’t balanced enough to not rely on your hands for jumping you should either not be doing it or not have any reins. I’m sure instructors have threatened people I’ve had lessons with, with undoing the reins so if they had to much of a hold the reins would come off the bit.

Anyone else feel even more sorry for Emily having watched her recent vlog of the fun ride? She even says a few times that she's worried about poor Addie tiring if she kept going at the rate they were going! Tina looks like a friggin eegit flying around the place out of control!!

I’m curious as to what ads where on the vlog as she said she removed them, I’ve not had a chance to watch yet. But I don’t think Spritey helped with that winding her up in the field but if you go out as a group and one person is concered their horse may struggle then you bloody well cater to that horse. She’s a baby that had been galloping round that morning so if Em thought they needed to take it a bit steadier and they didn’t then that is selfish on their part.

 

[Blond3g1rl]

Interesting they are selling her as an eventer. Think Emily made it clear that she was definitely more suited to a dressage career.

 

[MyLittlePony25]

But why has she waited 7 years to bring this up? Seems a bit strange! Has she been paying her share of bills for 7 years? Why would you wait 7 years and then comment on a video that isn’t even his? Why give him a share? He is 50% owner so if he doesn’t want to sell then she should be asking for her 50%, not just posting it on social media without any evidence.

 

[jnh24]

It’s interesting how people react to the comments, sometimes it’s cause they know it’s true…
I don’t actually thing anyone was being a negative Nellie either, just voicing an opinion

 

[MyLittlePony25]

I really like the videos with Justine in too. Ember is absolutely adorable. Really pleased for Lucy and excited to see how she progresses this year with her growing string!

I don’t mind Tina most of the time. Occasionally her persona comes across as a bit ‘put on’. But this post on her story has pissed me off. You can’t go from saying you’ve apologised to someone (indicating you knew you were in the wrong) to this. Can’t speak for her DMs but I’ve seen no hate on this thread regarding it. I’ve only seen facts and opinions. Classic move of someone with a large following. Act the victim and wait for your fans to flock to your defence.

I feel she’s had a lot of unnecessary hate in the past but this isn’t one of those times. Agree with the people who’ve said she’s acting up for the camera in the vlog. Some of the situations they all ended up in on the fun ride were so clearly avoidable.

If anything, I feel Emily was the only one behaving responsibly and attempting to keep control. On a youngster no less!

I would’ve hated to have encountered their group if I were there that day.

 

[Queenfairy]

I actually watched the vlog and would have hated to have been out with Tina. One minute panicking and telling everyone to slow down and the next winding him up. I’m sure she does it for the camera and views. She was so disappointed her fall was after her go pro died and I think that says it all

 

[Queenfairy]

That little kid rode and competed him (during vlogmas I think) and had no issues what so ever. She definitely winds him up

Completely agree! Emily also rides him beautifully. I think Tina loves the drama footage. I think their old instructor Fred once called out Tina for caring more about the footage than the ride.
