What the fuck?! People like you are the reason people have eating disorders. Meg is a perfectly healthy weight.Meg Elphick has put some pounds on hasn’t she?!
Just watched Tina’s 2nd vlog, far out it’s all her face and talking and not much else

I don’t think that’s very fair to comment. She’s not obese and putting her horses at risk like RTG so I don’t think weight should be discussed. She’s in a (I presume) happy relationship and as long as her and her horses are happy, that’s all that matters

People need to get over the fact that Charlotte sold Pumpkin. It’s a business, at the end of the day, and turning down incredible offers for horses would be insane. Charlotte sold her first proper dressage horse to buy a house. She’s not soft.
Annabelle is hugely privileged, no-one is denying that, but she was a talented rider before Pumpkin came along. The attitudes towards her stink of jealousy to be honest. Good luck to the girl, I certainly wouldn’t want the pressure of owning that horse and having everyone’s eyes on me, criticising my every move.

I would pay an incredible amount of money to see Pammy Hutton's reaction to RTG

Anyone else really bored of RTG and her overweight horse 
I have a massive issue with anyone appearing on ASA who is a known influencer or social media presence. And I think someone with a bit of weight needs to tell H&C this. The first two seasons were quite fun to watch but horsey social media wasn’t a thing then. They need to stick to that and not bring in people who already have a platform. Because that isn’t the point of the show. As others have said we have SUKO for that. ASA needs to be for the everyday equestrian. Not a bunch of jumped up twats looking for exposure and sponsors.
I honestly think H&C are out of their depth here and need to do some more research regarding what people want to see.

Sprite isn’t that old! Also, she is a pony, they go on and on!!
She looks good, she is sound and up for it, she is more likely to go down hill if she is plonked in a field and forced to retire.
Sometimes the weird opinions on here are, well, weird!!

Listened to the RTG podcast. She basically said her favourite thing about doing social media is getting free shit from brands. She mentioned the comments about pepper being overweight and how she’s not too heavy for Pepper. Also said that she wants to do social media as her full time career. All in all I found filling my dishwasher more entertaining

either juniors or young riders - i’m not sure how old she is but i can imagine it’s young riders

Shes what, 17? I don't think she's 18 yet. And I've read some horrid commentary about her. I'm sorry, it might be unpopular, but she's a talented little rider, she's clearly passionate about the sport, and people crap on her because she comes from a rich family who can afford to buy her made horses to compete, like they wouldn't give a limb to be in that situation, especially when they were a horse mad teenager. She's a kid. You can buy all the made horses in the world but if you can't actually ride it you're not getting anywhere, did Katie Price teach us nothing.
Personally I think it would be terrifying to go out on a horse like Pumpkin and have that level of expectation on you to do well. It's like Annabella can't win - she's slated when she does well for having had the money to buy the horse, but I'm sure there would be just as many comments if she hadn't been selected for the teams, or made a mistake in a test etc.
I don't see anything wrong with buying schoolmasters or buying young horses and having them produced for you, especially at the age of 17/18 - why should she have to be producing her own horses already?? Does it not count as working her way up that she's up at 5.30 each morning to train, before going to school and getting straight A's?

It’s got to the stage with social media that people don’t understand that if you put yourself in the court of public opinion, you will get opinion, you cannot tarnish every opinion as bullying and wave the be nice flag, if your horse is overweight and you are over weight and your putting yourself on a public platform as a influencer then you will get called out on it as it isn’t something or someone that should be setting standard,
Influencers have a moral obligation to set a standard, their sponsors should also hold them to this, a lot of people watch their posts and their lives

I don’t agree with calling her a little brat? Unless you know her personally to be a begging ungrateful child but if not you’re seeing what I’m seeing from a digital world. She comes across as a hard working girl getting up at 5 every morning to study for A levels. Ride however many horses she has, travel to compete them etc. She seems to work very hard and be very grateful for what she has. Yes her parents are rich and she can buy whatever horse she wants in this world with that money but in this case, breakers aren’t her thing. She probably doesn’t want a project pony right now and she has her own goals and if she has the money to get to the top so be it, she still has to ride the horse to get there.
Do you expect her to go find a job in tesco to earn her own, buy a cheap project pony and ride as an ameteur? If you had the money, you would. Stop being spiteful and look at her as a girl who is still studying hard for her A levels despite how well she’s already set up financially. A girl who lost her father at a young age and grieving. Now compare her to Olivia Towers. Same opportunities. Still moaning and whinging she’s not going up the rank because she doesn’t put the work in. She always says she hasn’t practiced this part of the Grand Prix so not expecting a great score. Well I’m sorry, don’t expect sympathy then by crying your ridden career isn’t working out cos you’re not a hard worker and move over for the actual hard working riders. Annabelle is that. She may have a lot of help like grooms at her yard, Charlotte and Catherine’s help etc but she still has to have work ethic. Something Olivia Towers doesn’t have

Seriously hope we aren’t going to start commenting on someone who is a perfectly healthy weight. Uncalled for and the reason so many people have unhealthy relationships with food. And I do hope no one is now going to screenshot that and send it to the poor girl because it’s completely unnecessary 
Interesting that she noted in her Keratex review that Pepper's hooves are susceptible to chipping and splitting and breaking off.. That couldn't be anything to do with the fact her farrier sands half the wall thickness off leaving the hooves structurally compromised? But don't worry Keratex's carcinogenic products will save the day.

As well as getting free product Tina charges brands to advertise them. when she was at about 15,000 followers it was £200 to appear on a post & £100 in her story its probably a lot more now.NAF didn’t want to pay when they can get LOTB doing it just for free product.
I know this because Ive got a friend who approached her tohelp get a clothing brand off the ground. Tina alsosaid she would come to her stand at a big show she was at but my friend had to pay her travel expenses & a £50 appearance fee.

See Kizzy and Etties Ponies is selling that beautiful little Welsh mare they just bought. I get mistakes can be made regarding buying horses but I'm baffled they ever thought buying a young, bouncy pony was a plan for them. Common sense would dictate its not the type you buy to escort your kids around. I really wonder about people sometimes.
In that vain, I always wondered why NoHorseHan didn't just buy Megs little Dora. She's the same size as Affie and was more produced even last year.

I’m afraid I disagree with you about Sprite. You often find with these athletic types who have always been in work that if you retire them suddenly, the wheels fall off. Far better in my opinion to do what Emily is doing and continue with light work. The horse is enjoying it, looks fit and well. I genuinely don’t see why she needs to retire her.
If she was blasting her around ODE week in and week out then fair enough, but she’s not.
