She's just posted today to say she is taking an Insta break. I think she read/saw some unfriendly comments about all her various horse incidents on here (guessing, as I've not read all these posts etc while I was lurking) & maybe other places, and possibly received not very nice messages. Nobody needs that, she went through a lot with her accident & then the death of Windsor & the dog Summer, so understandably she may be sensitive and has decided the stuff in real life is more important than updating her Insta. I do miss her beautiful photos, tho.Where is countrygrandeur? A bit worrying after her last story

I watched that a while ago. Not sire everyone should be blaming this esme for that more the instructor that told her she was ready to jump solid fences that high. I think she needs a new instructor one that will take the reins away when she is jumping so she can learn to balance herself without using the poor horse’s mouth as a balance bar, as I swear she doesn’t ride that bad on casper and actually gives with her hands over fences. I wonder who her instructor is so I know who to avoid should either of us move local to each other.
Its ok though - She's on her private driveway - All she ever bloody says! Like that makes it ok
Does anyone watch Raleigh Link? She's American and very into animal rights. It's something a bit different. Doesn't show much of her daily life with her horse but her informative films are well researched. And I reckon she'd be funny on a night out.
Another one I used to be into is Tara And Horses. She's from Yorkshire and mostly shows her gorgeous hacking routes in the countryside. She has an Arabian, Friesian and a Lusitano (who is only young). Seems like a lovely lady. But she started posting way too much for me and the audio on her GoPro is dreadful so I just dip in and out now.

I agree, I also thought the same, very odd . I would imagine the arena will cost min what 20k??
It’s to show her weight loss but it’s more of a private social media post not a business one. I wouldn’t have thought putting provocative pictures on a public platform is very Christian but whatever floats your boat I guess.Olivia towers half naked. I’m confused
What happened to ponies and proseccos husband 
How awful! I can’t even begin to imagineWhat happened to ponies and proseccos husband
I know so sad I know there was a few fatal car accidents but I don’t know what happenedHow awful! I can’t even begin to imagine
I live in the same area as her and we have mutual friends. hadnt heard of her before now but as above said, there has been quite a few fatal car accidents this way in the last week. Really sad and hope she has a lot of support around her.
So sad. I really like her and have followed her for quite a while
She is hands down one of the worst 'horsey' youtubers. She literally just spouts hate and misinformation. She's far more concerned with her 'modelling' and just being 'loud'.
I saw Erin Williams recently at HOYS. She was slimmer than I expected and lived up to the doll looking reputation. She looked nice. Lots of sizes sold out on the stand though.
Speaking to a friend about Erin (my friend knows her very well) the stories were horrendous about her parents back in the day when she was competing. Seems she had incredibly expensive and easygoing ponies to get her where she got. I don't get the feeling she will ever compete again?. Who is she paying to represent her agency wise?
Is Country Grandeur still "doping" the horse ?
Ellie McCarthys yard is stunning

Very new to this thread and a lot of the accounts on it but came on this thread to find more decent equestrian accounts to follow and my god. At least I know who to avoid 
I don’t want to be cruel but Ray the goth needs a better instructor. I’ve watched a handful of her videos and I like that she’s brave enough to put them out there and give things a go but her horse needs better education. One of the first things I learned in ponies was not to combine an inexperienced horse with an incompetent or inexperienced rider. After a bad accident I lost a lot of my nerve but have had to be so conscious not to pass that on to my horses, especially any of the more sensitive nervous nellies as then we’d both inevitably make each other more anxious - a recipe for disaster!
I watched the video where she’s doing a small grid and she’s definitely deleted the negative comments as I could only see hugely positive ones but anyone with eyes can see she’s relying on her whip far too much and if her horse isn’t comfortable or confident jumping a grid without being slapped several times to get over it then she shouldn’t be doing it. Bring it back to basics and get those right before you rush into things and have to resort to heavy handed riding on a horse who does not need it. Her horse seems so sweet but genuinely doesn’t have the confidence to do what she’s being asked. Whenever my horses have ever started refusing several jumps or not being confident enough to be forward going I always look at my riding, not at what my horse could be doing wrong and that’s how bad habits are nipped in the bud quickly. When you’re riding with confidence they trust that you know the score and can help them figure things out. Again I don’t want to be mean or cruel but how old is pepper? She does seem to be carrying a lot of weight that you can see on her crest etc and for what I presume is a young (or just inexperienced) horse she’s not getting the best chance. She seems like such a sweet horse but she’ll be ruined if they’re not careful with her.
Edited to add; just looked at her highlights and pepper is 12?! Has she been riding long or what is the story there because (this isn’t a humble brag, maybe 1% of credit goes to me if even that) there’s 4yo’s (almost 5 now) broken this time last year on our yard that are jumping and riding much much better and haven’t been asked to do much but any day off the yard they’ve handled much better because of the amount of groundwork we put into our babies??? When you put the groundwork and basics in they gain confidence in their abilities and they aren’t asked any big tests for a long time but anything they’re asked of they’re more than capable of and their confidence grows and then they do even better the next day. Some of our babies at home would fly those grids and courses in their sleep and they wouldn’t even be the most talented jumpers they’re just well educated and schooled and enjoy it!

Has anyone ever watched Rick Gore aka Think Like A Horse? Really can't stand him and some of the things he says. I'm not even talking about horse-related content he makes but the snide incel type of "jokes" he makes about women, the rebel flag in his barn, the political things he says, etc.
That’s sad about her parents I take it her parents are wealthy?
ray the goth def needs a new instructor. I feel so so sorry for pepper she shouldn’t be carrying all that weight. She moved her stables for fresh air and is now whinging about her stable getting wet from the rain
think she needs to buy her own place with stables and keep herself happy !!dads an ex pro footballer - I didn't think they were that well paid back in the day..... the mother is horsey. I heard the place was custom built for Erins use.That’s sad about her parents I take it her parents are wealthy?

That makes sense then must have been pretty well paid …
Jeeze, (Country Grandeur )she’s obviously read your comment - she’s having a little rant on stories about trolls! Touchy!!
She claims to not want attention and states she stays on insta for her artwork sales (!!) ….why all the selfies and photo shoot pics then!
