Wait wait wait so that’s why Ben and Emma’s marriage ended?? With what Ben posts online and the way him and Emma seemed around one another I’m SHOCKED to read that which is so upsetting?? Makes me think a lot because he does seem to come across so lovely? I know there can be gossip about people etc but I’d imagine no one would really make up that he’s been abusive towards his wife, so if true that’s horrible. She seems like a lovely woman and nobody deserves that. Abusive and unfaithful, that’s disgraceful. If he did get with a girl at hickstead that’s bloody awful because there’s no way in hell he could think he wouldn’t be caught out??

I like Ben but he seems to be loving the fame I can see him having an ego such a shame especially after it seems she supported him through his cancer. The yard was amazing but obviously at her family’s place so he had to move.

That’s a fair point, I think social media makes people feel a lot bigger than they are (not saying he’s a small timer by any means but anyone’s ego would grow with fans adoring them every day) and I remember how sweet they were while he was sick and even their wedding etc!

I remember when he announced their separation I thought it very strange that she didn’t post anything at all, not that she had to, but I feel like if I was in her shoes I’d nearly want to be the one to say it even if no details came out. She comes across as quite classy though so maybe it was the better move not to say anything. It’s so sad because I feel like they had such a lovely thing going and him supporting her at shows etc too seemed so idyllic. Guess you really don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.

Only followed her for a short time and never met her, but have heard about a lot of drama between her and Jess.Eq from people that know them.

Everyone is saying Jess sold her Inky knowing already that he had navicular disease and hid it from her. It would make sense as they were best friends for years and then suddenly unfollowed each other right after Inky’s diagnosis. friends of Lily’s have also made some comments hinting to it on instagram lives.

Not surprised that she wasn’t an honest seller- she sold her other horse Goofy as a ‘great first horse’ to a poor girl who looks far too inexperienced for him and the reason Jess sold him in the first place was because they were getting eliminated and she was getting chucked off!! Watched the new owner get eliminated on him at Aintree in the 90 and can’t help but feel sorry for the girl getting lumbered with someone elses problem

Omg I had no idea about this. So have neither of them ever directly addressed it?

 

[plutostars]

Nope, i’m not surprised though especially as it could technically be taken legally. I think even though Jess would be in the wrong lily probably just wants to avoid the drama

I know right? I always looked up to him a lot as he seemed really down to earth for a top rider. Huge shame but heard so many bad stories about him

I’m so disappointed that theres so many negative stories about Ben, I just didn’t see him as that type, especially after all he’s been through. Has anyone been watching his insta stories since he came back to social media?

Why did he disappear?

 

[Ahbebowgfa]

Why did he disappear?

He never addressed it, just came back! He keeps posting old photos on his stories, it just feels like somethings up

Know lots of drama about. Word amongst the grooms is he was quite abusive to his wife, as well as not faithful etc. Got off with a teenage girl in the pub at hickstead this year. Seems like the online facade is just a mask he hides behind

So this is interesting because I heard from a reputable source it was the other way round and she was cheating on him…. So perhaps we need to take the rumours with a pinch of salt

Yep..I was also told this! Again from someone in those circles..

Lily equestrian anyone?

I heard from someone in her circle that she lost a few sponsors/BA-ships the other year for calling her followers “c****s”. is there any truth to that? I know she’s young but why would you do that?

I remember this, it shouldn’t have been said but was totally taken out of context. Someone had been using homophobic slurs at her and she called them a c***, but then people were saying she said it about her followers when the person it was directed at definitely wasn’t a follower. Again shouldn’t have been said but can understand her frustration

Kizzy & Etties pony adventures. I’m starting to find the mum completely insufferable. She was practically begging for a headcam sponsorship. They’re obviously not short of cash with all the ponies coming and going, and she had a headcam for Kizzy before, where did that one go? I feel like she’s living her dream through her children, especially the younger one.

Yeah I definitely got that vibe with her recent post! Had 2nd hand embarrassment for her as it was so obvious

She is hilarious! I love her stories

 

[Blond3g1rl]

I bloody love abi Lyle. I want to be her best friend

She’s been reading

She reads here constantly. If it’s so difficult for her perhaps she just needs to stop with the whole Instagram thing. The questions and comments on here are genuine questions and comments. She’s very fragile and emotional.
