Equestrian Influencers

[feistytiger]

I do know the background . Are you related to CG you seem incredibly defensive and unable to take an objective view or reason with anyone else’s views other than your own. I’m going to put you on mute because I don’t wish to further discuss this with you. Thanks .

It’s also a good point to make too that CG set a low budget for the purchase of the horse. It really is difficult at her budget to find everything she needed and wanted . I always felt she could do with a low level schoolmaster who is healthy above all other wants .

Don’t need to be related to someone to call stuff out where necessary. And you’re not exactly looking at things from a different perspective either.
Again you’re not her coach or with her every day so you don’t know what going on other than what you’ve seen.

Equestrian TikTok can be a terrifying place - the trolls and haters are getting younger and younger by the day. It’s far too easy to sign up and respond directly to people as a creator and as someone who just likes to watch & comment.

What do people think of Harlow Lunar White? She seems to be a miniature carbon copy of Esme, with a horrendously expensive yard and a le mieux sponsorship. My kids love watching horsey influencers on YouTube and tiktok but I hate that all they get bombarded with is wealth and expensive ponies that we just won’t ever have the opportunity to have. It makes equestrian life feel unreachable for them. Not the influencers fault of course, but it gets disheartening and frustrating. Frankies Ponies is another one on Instagram that chucks inane amounts of money at her kids and their ponies. Not achievable for so many of us.

Also what do people think of Kizzy and Ettie’s Adventures? I used to love their posts, but the more I see now the more I think she’s just over facing the kids and the ponies for views now and every other post seems to be her either advertising something or trying to source free ponies because the ones she has aren’t working out the way she wants them to for her kids.

She is on You Tube. Lovely kid, but basically a carbon copy of Esme at 9yrs Old.

Isn’t she at Ellie McCarthy’s yard there?. The pony popcorn is familiar .. there is / was one at Froxfield I think just like it has she had the pony long?. It’s familiar and I can’t be sure why.

it’s difficult to comment re the money are they sponsored ?. Lots of the equine influencers pay management to get them deals for example Erin and roekl she receives over 10 pairs gloves gifted every now and then etc etc but has to pay out to PR agency… so much money in horses but also so many struggling to be a part of the sport as well. Not easy with the children.

The pony popcorn is very very familiar maybe it was at Froxfield if it’s a recent purchase ??. Love the stables , Ellie McCarthy’s yard … difficult Re finances so many have a lot of money and yet so many struggle to be part of the sport .

I don’t follow the really young equestrians although I do follow ruby hughes who is doing incredibly well.

Harlows mum is a former model and now a photographer to all the celebs and reality stars so they are incredibly well off and she takes all those 'instagrammable' photos! Looks like the pony is kept at Ellie McCarthys new yard which is mega but again her family are seriously loaded!

Personally as a mother I would prefer not to cash in on my kids... im of the opinion that they do not need to be exposed to social media until they are much older! That goes for kizzie and Ettie too...they clearly need to keep up the content as that's now their main source of income! That's a huge amount of pressure!

Horses and riding is ultimately meant to be fun!!

I do think K and E’s mother has got swept away with herself and her idea of what her children’s lives should be, and how they should ride. I’ve cringed at how dangerously over-faced the eldest has been at times, and they seem to be going through ponies like I do hot dinners. That’s just my opinion though, obviously.

Yep I 100% agree!

It also feels at times she essentially taken the kids out of school to be mini social media influencers

yeah I can’t help but wonder if both children actually really want to be out of school and spending their days hunting and so on. Did the youngest even get a chance to experience what school has to offer? I completely appreciate school isn’t a one size fits all model for all children, but it does seem like you’re right and she pulled them from school to keep up appearances on insta

The fact that Harlow has (gaudy) merch now too is ridiculous. But hey I guess she's going to have a thicc bank account when she turns 18.

I imagine it’s pretty thic already! I just don’t understand how something so unattainable for so many could ever become so popular.

Anna Bella pidgley has won the lottery so sad Charlotte sold her beloved pumpkin what on Earth do you think she paid for him!!!! Have to say I hate to see junior riders getting horses bought for them who have been there done it. Train them yourselves …

 

[Fairycake79]

I dread to think how much but her late father was the founder of Berkley Homes so like Ellie Mccarthy's father whose in the same line of business, was absolutely loaded!
