Equestrian Influencers

Does anybody know why Tina Wallace, life on the left rein hasn’t spent Xmas in over 20 years with both of her parents, just seems a bit odd

Are they divorced? I wouldn’t have thought she was old enough to not spend it with both of them for over 20 years

Obviously no one took up her offer of £4 donations for her content!

I thought that was for podcasts?

I remember seeing Olivia towers doing an interview in a horse magazine in an article about bullying in horse industry . Someone wrote a really good article and felt suicidal about being bullied , then I saw Olivia towers section and she said she never has anyone bully her but all her followers dm her for advice on how to deal with bullying like she’s some messiah or something . Girls twisted and in a piss because people didn’t want to pay for her content lol it’s not like she’s struggling is it?

Well she is supposed to be a ‘christian’ I’m pretty sure she’s a liar claims no sex before marriage yet I’m sure she either put or shared a story where the boyfriend was in her bed. You don’t sleep in you partners bed if your on a no sex before marriage. It’s up to her of she’s having sex or not but don’t act hollier than though about no sex before marriage of your going to have it.

I wondered if anyone else was going to watch this! I like Harlow - I think she's a good little rider and obviously loves her pony, but the excessive consumerism that seems to come from her mum does make me a bit uncomfortable (like absolutely fair play to Mum for putting the work in and growing the channel etc, but it's a lot). The christmas present video seems a bit out of touch at a time that so many people are struggling!? I noticed the same in the olympia vlog - lots of Mum going ooh look at this isn't this nice ooh how about that, felt like she was encouraging Harlow to spend spend spend for content. I wonder if little girls watching it feel they need all the Le Mieux etc too to be like her... They could make good content of just enjoying ponies and having fun without all the "stuff"!

Watching the Christmas video I think Harlow would have been happy with just her hobby horse and some of the schleigh toys, and Harlen with his chair and Ferrero Rocher! It's hard to know how they are off camera and if they are appreciative of all the things they have and how lucky they are!

It really is excessive. All those presents on top of the Lemeuix stuff she gets almost weekly. And then a trip to Lapland too. I don't know who her followers are but they can't find her relatable.

Most of if not all of the Lemieux stuff goes to people the average equestrian wouldn’t relate to ? It’s got to the point I no longer purchase I dislike the ££ being given to influencers and M&S are just as bad

this sounds ridiculously privileged
and believe it or not some of us just like smaller horses
it’s not all about who can ride the biggest horse???
maybe she should learn to ride her own before judging

Just cos we’re not all large people ray some of us actually ride the horses that suit our size. Perhaps you should realise PEPS IS TO SMALL FOR YOU

What happened to Natasha Althoff? Just seen a teary video where she’s sold up her home and riding establishment and moved away Her horses have retired/been rehomed

seems very sad

Her friend Alicia is now running the channel on YouTube but Natasha is still posting on her private Instagram so she seems to be well I hope she can go back to riding amd owning horses.

she has another channel now too (completely blanked at what it’s called think it’s just her name) but her and husband seem to have a few videos up

I am genuinely a bit sad that so many of the accounts are now so money/product driven. I really miss the days where I couldn’t wait to see what Tina and Emily were up to in their weekly vlogs and then by watching them, I stumbled onto other people such as Holly and Meg. But I just can’t watch the vlogs anymore as they have just become a marketing tool. I get that it must be great to be able to make money out of it or never have to buy your horse anything ever again , but to me, the vlogs have definitely lost the magic of the “good old days”. Ironically I refuse to buy the brands they push the most.

Totally agree I think the amount of ads versus content has gone wrong. There are far too many plugs on the channels now it’s a bit like QVC. I also agree it must be brilliant to earn a living from your vlogging but they have lost being relatable.
I don’t mind Megs as she is smart as to when pushing items is appropriate and also creating good content.
Tina’s is simply Promoting products and she has dragged in life on the buckle now which is awful. Jess used to be a great relatable account but again it’s all about products. Other members of that squad again boring and they all lack natural creativity.
The fact is while ever people are buying the crap they promote ( and there’s so many sheeple out there that will continue) then what’s the drive for them to change
To make a real difference unsubscribe and that’s hits them more than any comments anywhere.

I agree. I wonder if the difference partly comes from the fact that it is Meg’s job-her adverts feel more transparent, like actual professional adverts rather than gushy ‘this is the best product ever guys and I wouldn’t say that unless I’d happily spend my money on it too’ which always feels a bit disingenuous given often they haven’t paid for it and are getting some reward for promoting the product.

I’m not sure if I’ve explained that very well-I think I just wish sometimes those who ‘content create’ on the side were a little more forthright about it. Like fair play to you for putting loads of time and effort into making excellent reels etc but don’t pretend it’s all out the goodness of your own heart and you are getting nothing from it!

Absolutely. You could be right with Megan in that it does feel more professional and that could be because she does it for a living.
I honestly don’t think the reels are all that great Nothing original just regurgitation of other posts they have seen.
However because of how instagram works and the fact the App works on being liked and popular people will buy the products as they want to be popular too. In the hope they can one day advertise a food drink which has absolutely nothing to do with horses

The more people unfollow and unsubscribe the more they will look at having to change. While ever people feed their ego the more they will keep regurgitating the same old tit

RTG sharing this… Nicola has a point because she can actually ride, Ray can’t. I know she’s a common topic on this thread but she truly needs to stop riding Pepper - not even from a weight perspective (although it could do with addressing) but she’s genuinely so harsh with her riding, i can’t believe she has a following

RTG started on YouTube IIRC mostly about larger clothing ranges The riding is disappointing like you say it isn’t about weight it is the misuse of spurs and her hands and unwilling to see any need for change for which her instructor has to take some responsibility too

I’ve no idea I only recently followed her and cba with her stories. I don’t think anyone would notice if people just stopped working with her.
