My bad, been out of showing for 10 years now!Definitely not. Body protectors have to be worn under BSPS rules.
I'm getting a slightly "I'm superior" tone from her since badminton. She said a few things in Emily's vlog that came across as condescending and her story about feeling weird going to a "less important" event was odd. Don't go then if it's beneath you!Why is Tina taking Banksy eventing this weekend after just admitting she hasn't asked anything of him for 4 weeks? Hardly fair on the horse to do 'moochy hacks' for 4 weeks and then expect them to run.
I’ve just read her post! Arrogant ass. shame she didn’t get balloted!I'm getting a slightly "I'm superior" tone from her since badminton.

I thought this of Tina in Ems vlog too, way too above herself. I don’t rate her at all, the same as Meg she’s the same, they think there tit don’t stink!I'm getting a slightly "I'm superior" tone from her since badminton.

She’s such an idiotGood old Charlotte. She's had a skin breakout, but she's just 'happy that she has a face'.
Why does she keep going on about "as a single woman" she loves wasting money? So it's OK to waste the man's money then? Sorry have I forgotten what decade I'm in?Good old Charlotte. She's had a skin breakout, but she's just 'happy that she has a face'.
I think this girl was badly bullied at some point (I’m sure she mentioned it in a vlog once?) and I get the impression it has badly affected her. She is very defensive all of the time about everything and does have a tendency to leap to the conclusion that people are bullying her, rather than logically thinking ‘is there any truth in what these people are saying?’Apparently we are just crappy people who feel crappy about ourselves. No, whizzy Welsh, we don’t feel crappy. We could see your little mare was telling you in every which way she could that she was in some form of pain and discomfort and we spoke about it on here. You continued to laugh about pony club kicking the sides out of her and are now horrified that there was something wrong. We are not crappy!! You just don’t like what we are saying as usual!
Tbf it's West Wilts. Sj on a surface and a flat and easy xc.Why is Tina taking Banksy eventing this weekend after just admitting she hasn't asked anything of him for 4 weeks? Hardly fair on the horse to do 'moochy hacks' for 4 weeks and then expect them to run.
Fair enough, but I think it's a little grating for her to call her horse a jackass for misbehaving the very first time she takes him schooling in four weeks, when he was very fit before the break. And to school just a couple of days before an event (easy or not) without doing any work to keep him fit just seems unfair on the horse. His adrenalin will take him round and I hope they have a great day, but don't expect him to behave well when you don't put the work in, and keep him fit and focussed.Tbf it's West Wilts.

I was so impressed by her, at times it was hard going compared to action type videos, but she was so informative and is clearly 100% invested in her horses and their well being as well as their performance. She’s a very driven and capable girl, lots to like there and as you say so very informative, others *cough Whizzy Welsh/Hannah cough* take note of someone really caring about the horse and listening to them.It was a very good and informative video. I certainly learnt a fair bit as a first time horse owner
That last vlog was a hard watch, I don’t know at what point Lucy will just stop trying to make him into something he clearly isn’t. I have utmost respect for her and Justine and everything theyve done and what they’ve achieved with him, but his stress levels seem to be through the roof so much of the time and that can’t be good for him. Hard to tell if he’s lame because he’s so tense and not moving forward at any point, until he does go forward and then it’s legs everywhere. He reminds me so much of our old pony, even the same colour and looks and way of going, so many little choppy strides. I’d love to have my time again with him with the knowledge I have now and the help that’s available, so much more we could have done!Ember is so lame left fore. I don't understand how the judge didn't comment on this. Looks like his shoulder area.
I have to agree regarding Ember. He’s finding the competition world so stressful and I’d be inclined to be scoping him to keep check on ulcers with his highly stressful ways. His jumping he’s just going and doesn’t seem focused on them, I’d be concerned XC with his jump style by the way he jumps. His dressage was probably one of the worst I’ve seen of him, but massive credit to Lucy for her work with him, she’s a nice quiet rider and nothing seems to worry her, even the tough days she’s still smiling. I think Lucy should invest in a horse that will take her to the levels, as that’s what she very well deserves.I was so impressed by her, at times it was hard going compared to action type videos, but she was so informative and is clearly 100% invested in her horses and their well being as well as their performance.

Lucy is such a quiet and sympathetic rider, I just think at his age he is who he is
I could take my horse round a 90 tomorrow and he'd be fine if we didnt push for time xc, despite only hacking for months. Banksy is nicely fit and he's a professional, he knows what's what.Fair enough, but I think it's a little grating for her to call her horse a jackass for misbehaving the very first time she takes him schooling in four weeks, when he was very fit before the break.

This. When my boy was hunting fit, I’d only hack 2-3 times per week in between meets and he was perfect. Getting them fit is the hardest part, maintaining it is much easier.Horses don’t lose fitness that easily. Keeping him hacking would have maintained his fitness. If she had been jumping him loads since badminton she would have been judged for doing too much. She can’t win.
