Equestrian Influencers

[Pollyrocket19]

Olivia towers constantly changing her content and taking these breaks because she isn’t making money from what she is doing. She goes and reinvents another way to package something else to her followers. Thank god for the bank of mommy and daddy to pay for everything. She wanted an outdoor arena and poof one appears! I’m definitely no grand Prix rider but you’d think she’d have a lot more advanced horses in her string at this stage given the money behind her. Most of the young horses don’t work out and end up getting sold for one reason or another.

I would rather see someone using it in the bath then some beauty influencer pretending to use it on a foundation covered face which is then edited with a filter

Id rather no one was paid to advertise gimmicky devices but especially not someone I follow for horsey content - enough beauty influencers out there to avoid.

Just means she is low budget. Fine for some not for me. Opinions are allowed.
reminds me a bit of Catherine Tates Nan sketch

sorry huns I don’t want to show my titties or shag my saddle till my fanny hurts .

Not for me

More like hostile life rather than hoss life

Don’t forget fairfax & favour (but I forgive Lucy as she is with the owner and models for them). Not that I’m jealous at all I just can’t warrant spending that much on a pair of shoes/boots/a belt/bag!

I don’t get fairfax and favour at all. Im sure they are just cheaply Produced items priced up high to an equestrian market.

I feel so bad for Pepper, no horse should have to deal with a rider like that. There are certainly heavier riders that have good balance and a good seat and can ride a horse of suitable size in a way that is healthy and sustainable, but RayTheGoth is NOT one of them. Her pulling Peppers mouth like that, kicking Pepper's sides constantly (with spurs) and her horrible seat infuriate me. No Ray, watching you ride poor Pepper in circles does not help me get in the holiday spirit!

She’s been reading

I’d understand being defensive if she was being trolled but I’ve only read (so far, haven’t been on this thread long) posts with genuine questions about her, not exactly trolling.

Professionally, I don’t think your chiropractor should be giving you any sort of exercises to do unless you are trained to do them, plus it’s a physio he needs if stretching and muscles are concerned? Is a mint lick also not food too? honestly she reminds me of a girl I used to work with and when a trainer tried to correct her jumping position she told all of us ‘this is how they ride in the olympics’ while riding a school master around a shed in the middle of nowhere jumping poles barely off the ground, had an excuse for everything!

There’s always a problem going on wonder how she affords all these vet bills etc. What does her husband do

Literally she sent me here from her own stories I cant stand her long indulgent instagram stories about her sickly/injured horses where every other word is errrrrmmmm. It drives me mad. 'So errrmm, we had another vet out errrrmmm, and decided he needs to errrrmmm, be turned errrrmmm out daily, errrmmm but errrmmm sedated ermmmm'
My other pet peeve is when she gets irrationally irritated by people asking where something is from. She used to go on rants about that all the time and how rude it was.
No idea where all the money comes from. She is a good artist. But i dont think she works excpet "influencing"

Editing to add...does she not see the irony of purposly making a post saying everyone here must have a shit life to purposly make a post about someone

Financial situation? She stables her horses at mummy and daddies yard how hard does she have it ?? Defo won’t be getting £4 a month off me. She wouldn’t be worth 4p a month.

I don't follow many, I do like Abi Lyle and I'm a big fan of Miri Hackett & her way of working but I wouldn't call them influencers so much as people using social media to build their business.
I like Emily (EMD eventing), she seems very, um, normal, and she's managing Sprite amazingly, I also really appreciate the fact she realised Lola wasn't going to work any longer and found her a great dressage home. Addie looks very exciting. I follow Lucy too, she seems very genuine, and with two horses now it'll be exciting, she's the only one I don't mind plugging FF&F for obvious reasons. For my sins, I like Meg too, I appreciate the fact she has goals, and is working towards Badminton again and she works. She's got some exciting youngsters too.
I just can't abide Tina, she's the type I couldn't be around, loud, screechy (no need around horses), constantly plugging something. And oh has she got being the victim down to a tee. The victim click bait titles, the reactions on her Instagram the second there's any negativity, poor poor Tina. It's the same content over and over, Banksy is a great little horse and the cats are adorable but I feel so sorry for Dinks, what a boring little existence he has, at least take the poor little man for walks. I haven't given Erin Williams much time, I looked at her Instagram and its just her face and constant posing. Not an Olivia Towers fan either, a little spoiled. I briefly enjoyed Matt Harneke but he's gone off the boil for me too.

 

[Forgetmenot22]

And oh look CG horse has been sold.

I just can’t stand that she has a post saying “I knew you were the one” and in the following 3-4 weeks she has sold on the horse. It irks me so much.

Totally not surprised. How many horses has she gone through now? Everyone horse is the one then suddenly they are sold/ill/die

 

[ReaRea]

Did anyone else notice Tina (life on the left rein) didnt congratulate Emily on her engagement?

except she did and as they’re close friends she probably congratulated her via an actual text before doing so publicly. Stop trying to cause drama and strife where it doesn’t exist.

 

[curtainsonthewall]

Oh ray what you did wrong was beat your horse and shout when there was no need why not sit quietly and encourage her into the fence ? You shouldn’t be allowed to carry a stick or wear spurs

 

[curtainsonthewall]

so going back to the point I was trying to make before you went on a CDJ rampage... are men on horsey socials literally gaining a following because they have a penis? honestly, I don’t rate Matt Harnacke or that half step boy, let alone Hughes. and ash the half steps friend doesn’t even ride!thoughts!

It wasn’t even a cdj rampage it was a spoiled brat being bought a 5 million pony chat just to clarify.

 

[Greenfly125]

Pepper is also obese. Massive cresty neck and apple bum.

I agree, she looks like a lovely natured horse but she is fat. Her crest is huge like a stallions. I hate it when people say my horse is naturally big boned and stocky so can take my weight, when really their horse is fat.

 

[horsey1234]

What is it with wimpy eventer constantly filming and driving?!

It shouldn't matter if I'd a private drive or not, it's stupid!
Especially with a toddler in the front!

This drives me mad. I actually can’t watch her stories because I don’t want to endorse it and she does it almost every day. Often without a seatbelt too. It’s irresponsible and unprofessional considering she is an ambassador for a lot of big brands. Surely even on a private drive there should be rules against this? It only takes one young viewer to see her stories and then think it’s ok to vlog whilst driving and go on to cause a serious accident.

 

[unwanted.opinions]

Totally this I was riding last night for the first time in two weeks and caught myself niggling with my legs and just completely took my legs away

I’m pretty sure most of us have been guilty of it. RTG seems a lovely girl that just wants the best for her horse. She also has so much potential to improve her riding she just needs to loose a bit of weight and have some lessons with a decent instructor. I’m not saying she need to loose weight to be nasty more for the horses sake, if she is happy with her weight then she seriously needs to consider giving up riding or finding a horse more suitable to carry her weight.

 

[hossgoss123412]

Used to be grassroots eventers now mainly into advertisements for numerous companies on their channels.
meg probs the only that is a true eventer.
i don’t like the whole VE squad vibe. Not sure why just gives me a uneasy feeling.
Always remember middle of lockdown them doing a n advert all together for Toggi when people were supposed to be isolating.

Yes, I remember the Toggi thing too! I lost respect for them all, brands included, from this!

 

[icedbuns]

The training is the real issue for me. I have no doubt that she loves Vossi very much and strives to do her best by him in daily routine, saddle checks, sports massage and all the other things she mentioned. However I strongly believe that one of our responsibilities as owners and riders is to train ourselves to be the best we can for our horses, to understand them and their actions, to bring out the best in them. I’m no pony patter but we have a responsibility to listen to what our horses are trying to tell us, and I’m not sure that ‘being sassy and having an attitude’ is the underlying message here

 

[MyLittlePony25]

I really like Lucy too. She is really classy I think, only vlogs when she has something to post, shows the reality of riding and losing confidence. Laragh certainly isn’t an easy horse to ride but she kept trying and didn’t strop about it. I think she gets a bit annoyed at how loud and silly the others can get and I do like her dry sense of humour. Yes, she is very privileged but she doesn’t boast about it or act like she isn’t.
I also love her vlogs with the bloodhounds, it’s made me want to give it a go with my local bloodhound hunt! Janine is also very funny.

 

[MyLittlePony25]

I definitely don’t think she has over horsed herself. I think she is actually a very capable rider but lacks confidence, especially when riding alone, where as she gets the results when out at shows or arena hire and has support with her. She rides very well across the country but said she struggled with show jumping and that’s what she has been working on.
