Equestrian Influencers #4 I’ve got 99 numnahs but my saddle doesn’t fit my bum

[hosslife]

Whinge in general incoming…..

so many over weight people riding ex racers it’s unreal. They are not built to carry unbalanced people over 12 stone.
Then they wonder why they have back issues

 

[pitterpatterflipflops]

but I thought the premise was that they get filmed doing Instagram? I’ve never watched it though! Think they should of changed the name as you can’t swipe up anymore!



I agree! It’s like she has no idea how to ride a young horse! And I used to think she was a good rider, what has happened!? Think she should watch her friend Meg abit closer!

What’s with all the high pitched cuties voices in their videos, are they that fake as people that they can’t just talk normally, they can’t even call horses horses, they call them ponies in a stupidly high voice, this is my problem with this culture, nothing is real, nothing, they cannot even use their authentic voices, so like hell are we going to see their authentic selves or opinions, they are so hell bent wrapped up in presenting an image that they really are just living a lie, they won’t look back on these years with fondness imo, just regrets, if anyone of them ever read this, please just be yourselves, use your real tone of voice, voice your opinion and stick by the people you like and respect rather than stay around others just because they are fellow bloggers or whatever the f*** I am meant to call them, the Fb fakery has had its day, bring back muddy horses, non matchy outfits, whichever brand is on sale and some authenticity

I thought i was seeing the equilight pop up on pictures over the usual peoples Insta & there it is a new colour & discount code. More overpriced shit being rammed down our throats.

Made me laugh them advertising this in June in the UK, the month with the longest daylight hours where you definitely don’t need a head torch or woolly hat/headband

 

[sledgehammer]

Anyone going to take one for the team and listen

I can’t stand Rhea Freeman either so it’s a definite no from me.
In the age of improved horse welfare, why are obese people who insist on riding horses being given a platform??

 

[poppy2112]

Just spotted that KIzzie and Eitties mum is on the lookout for yet another pony for her!
They shouldn't have bought such a young green one in the first place knowing what the ultimate aim was...Nellie was never going to be suitable to babysit the kids so early on!

I've lost count of the amount they've had since I started following!

 

[daledancer]

I’ve just sat at watched Emily’s lesson with Caneron
I wanted to cry
Emily was angry, they were harsh and cruel to that poor mare.
And as for Tina? Who was teaching her or Epic Cameron?? Her stupid screechy voice chiming in.
Pathetic fan Girling

 

[Greenfly125]

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.

She’s been in the same position before with that other mare she had, Lily. Completely inappropriate for the job. She needs to realise that she’s buying a pony for the girls needs, not something she would have bought pre-children. Needs to grow up a bit and buy more sensibly.

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 wish I was Meg's weight, maybe I'd be riding.
There is literally nothing wrong with how she looks or weighs. Uncalled for !

 

[Beyond the wall]

For someone who says they can't afford this or that, Kizzy & Etties Ponies sure do pick up extra horses quickly when they want one. They've had Nellie, what, 10 weeks?!

 

[unwanted.opinions]

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.

Surely thats how sponsorship should work though. To appear at a big show Tina would have to take time off work and travel to get there which is cheap. I expect Esme gets payed to advertise all the stuff she does as getting a free saddle does not pay the bills and no one is complaining at her. If she cam prove she is bringing the company extra income by posting then she has every right to charge people. More fool the people with a large following doing it for free just because they want to be famous and show off to everyone.

 

[hosslife]

Love the new podcast from buck off banter and they have a massive point. The whole Ba thing. There is such a split on instagram at the moment I think it’s at the point of change. Who the fuck wants a 10% discount code for something you can not afford or need.
Seen loads of the smaller accounts who were great and inspirational to follow turning into this machine of advertising and the problem being is that they are probably not even getting paid for it! just want to be in the “gang”

And one major point that I am so sick of seeing this week ( and it’s only Tuesday) no one has the money for a fucking air up bottle and we are adults and can drink fucking water!!

rant over ….feeling Teesy this week

 

[pitterpatterflipflops]

Own up, who pointed out that RTG horse is overweight and I can’t believe I am writing this but also if her vet is telling her that fats transforms into muscle then she needs a new vet, that’s literally like saying a size 20 person will excersise and stay a size 20 but will be a ball of muscle not fat, JFC give me strenght

 

[littlelessbloom]

I am surprised no one has mentioned Charlotte’s latest reel. I honestly cringed the whole way through. She’s still trying to be funny and quirky and relatable. We’ve all said it before but that horse doesn’t look comfortable. I get that he’s a hot horse but something isn’t right. Bucking like that over every jump… even if it is just freshness, Charlotte’s riding is not helping.

 

[ReaRea]

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

Exactly this! Don’t hate on people who are privileged when they genuinely put effort in. It just smacks of jealousy. And she has to to be a certain calibre of rider to get results out of Pumpkin. I wonder how many of these negative nancies even know wha aids to apply to get Grand Prix movements. Can you perform pirouettes?

And I’ll reiterate a point I made earlier. Charlotte & her co-owner wouldn’t have sold Pumpkin to the highest bidder. It’s incredibly disrespectful to Charlotte to suggest otherwise

When is country grandeur going to make a comeback

Jenny Rudall is so rude to the girls. I know she wants to film and wrap production but she’s really really rude imo

She’s not rude at all? She has a schedule she needs to stick to and them arsing about vlogging puts the whole crew behind schedule. Lucy showed up an hour late the first day.

The girls made times run later and Jenny has a job to do at the end of the day. It’s literally her job to ensure things run smoothly and on time.

 

[Toni&Pony]

her vet says fat turns to muscle.

WTAF?

Does anyone have contact details for her vet, because I need some help with my arse&thighs!

 

[ishgirl]

RTG kicking off on the All staff academy post as they have said people need to be jumping 90cm.

I'd love to see Ray on all stars. Just because I'd love to see Pammy slate her and the obesity of the horse

 

[pitterpatterflipflops]

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.

Yep, trained horse or not it takes talent and dedication to reach that level, and a lot of dedication that if she was a brat she wouldn’t be doing, she would be off drinking, holidaying and leaving her horses with grooms, she’s clearly not, go direct your jealousy at something else

 

[GBNI]

Ray has shared a post saying that people say she makes riding Pepper look easier than it is. I mean...

 

[ReaRea]

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

Completely uncalled for! There’s nothing wrong with her weight! Comments like that are what causes people to have unhealthy relationships with food. Absolutely disgusting thing to say! Glad others are calling you out too.

 

[littlelessbloom]

He isn’t comfortable at all, he looks so unhappy in his face. He’s worse now than before she had him scoped for ulcers.

If I had just spent £££ on a new custom saddle and my horse was still going like that, I’d be ringing the vet straight away. He’s really not happy.
