Internet Forum Soup

[WashingtonBay]

This may or may not be considered wise by morning, we'll see. Let's try to keep it positive!

What's going on around the internet?... Horse forums in particular probably, that makes you go... :popcorn:

Stuff I know is going on:


f*gly's comments being taken away... :hysterical:

Some kind of inter forum wars and drama going on at both HGS and Horsetopia, with different players I think, that I don't understand, because no one there is allowed to speak of it...:huh:

I have no such rules here, SPILL IT! I just want to know what's going on... provided it's interesting! :cheers:

What threads are getting all the hits elsewhere in your travels? What's going on around the webs tonight (and ongoing) that people think is worthy of popcorn? :popcorn:

[lacyloo]

Why are they taking fuglys comments away LOL? I noticed that yesterday

[TheRedHayflinger]

one word(err..url?)
catchride.com

LOL...I don't really post there(made my X amount of posts so I could view the private forum and that was that)....but when I need some entertainment...or to find out what is going on where....that's where I go.

[doc_western]

I'm only on here & the occasional visit to the other forum, so I have no drama to report.... Now I'm kinda interested in this other pop-corn worth stuff, though. *sits on couch* :popcorn:

[FatSpottedAppy]

I am on HT, GUG, HGS... But really, I only *really* visit here. I just go there to look around and post once in a while, so I have nothing to bring you. :p

fugly's comments being taken away.. HAHA.

[Palogal]

Why are they taking fuglys comments away LOL? I noticed that yesterday

From Fugly Blog:

Apologies to those of you who were responsibly using the comments; however, Blogger rules were broken with regard to the harrassment of individuals other than myself and so they have gone away until I can come up with a reasonable solution that does not add hours of work to my day.

[peace_baby]

I agree with Doc. Room on the couch for one more? :)

I'm only here and on horsetopia, but I just joined there so I'm not really allowed to post until it's proven that I'm not a spammer. Oh well.. I don't have time for two forums anymore. I just got a job. :)

:popcorn: Waiting for stories... :innocent:

[WashingtonBay]

On F*gly, I guess a vocal critic there got them on violation of blogspot rules. I think this gal Living Beyond The Dream (http://livingbeyondthebream.blogspot.com/) is the one who claims responsibility for it. The posse was going after people and especially little kids.... on the internet, and in person. They got out of hand in a way I do not like (as I think you guys know about me) Going after little kids on youtube and going so far as trying to figure out where people lived. "Dena" there was, I think originally someone who was picked on by f*gly and had a grudge that was... personal.




Now come on you guys... I posted this so you guys would fill me in! We can't have all popcorn eaters and no reporters with news!

[lovesfortune]

i have no news, but is there room on the couch?

i just got my computer back - thats my defense ;)

[WashingtonBay]

Some bounty of information you guys turned out to be... :rolleyes:

Don't forget Steve being picked on by fugly about the shoeing job he did with the white/gray horse.The one he did with the bungee cord. ughh that blog really pissed me off when they did that. i luv Steve lol :p

[FatSpottedAppy]

Gee WB, I think you should go on the other forums and pick up some goosip for us.. :D

I guess I can say there is a girl with disabilities on HGS that people on there were constantly picking on for various reasons. They stopped most of it but there is still the occasional comment-- most are trying to support her now since "things" have been revealed.

[FatSpottedAppy]

When was this?

[WashingtonBay]

Oh really lacy? I didn't know they had targeted him too.

What ticks/ed me off about them is they had such a narrow view of what is 'proper' and such lack of discretion in how far that opinion gave them the right to go.

[lacyloo]

yeah i though you knew lol
ill try to find it. its an old post though

[cowgirlup@idaho]

I'm too busy trying to keep up and stay out of hot water on our own political thread!LOL!!

The big rant and reveal on that was in Adult over there though...so unless people have access to the Adult Forums, they'll miss out on seeing a lot of this one.


There seems to be a few threads floating around on Capone I....there is one on TMS and one on HGS
I'm only on TMS at the moment, so if someone from HGS can toss that link up for anyone interested? LOL
http://www.themanestreet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58826&highlight=capone

There are some other good readin' threads on there....

On those.... can you give a summary about what to look for. :D A teaser... you know: "Fighting the Frizzies... at Eleven!"

[lacyloo]

ok ok found it

4) Moving on, we have a starved Arabian with hind leg weakness. First of all, they rig up this deal to keep his pastern from buckling over...with a bungee cord with hooks on both ends attached to a brace above the hock and the front of his shoe (Did you guys see this? Have you ever seen anything like that?) My first thought was, OMG, he is going to go down at night and get tangled in that shit. Well, I must be psychic because the next scene, he's all banged up and bloody 'cause he went down and got cast overnight and nobody found him until morning. I don't know, maybe a vet really would prescribe a rig like that (if you're a vet and you have, tell me about it), but even if they did, wouldn't you put that horse on a foal cam and turn up the sound so you knew if he went down? Anyway, after that they put him in a sling and, tough old shit that he is, he pulls through.

[lovesfortune]

yeah, i'm with WB, i used to read her stuff a lot and i did learn a lot of stuff, but the attitude really put me off.

come on - we need DRAMA where are the goods?!?!?!

[WashingtonBay]

Lacy... that's a good example (her whole post, picking on people) of the attitude problem over there. Thanks for the link!

[Gypsy Rose]

I can't even keep up with half the drama on HGS, lol!

I do know that one girl has taken a hiatus because of the fact that some trolls were making extremely rude comments about her. Worst of it is, she's a well respected member of HGS. I hope she comes back.

[doc_western]

Plenty of room on the couch for everybody! :p
Wow, this is the first time I heard of Steve getting picked on! I remeber back on horse.com when Paso got put on fugly when she bred her Arab mare... I'll see if I can find it.

[Palogal]

Let's not forget when Man With Da Clan was put on Fugly. I still want to know which ***hole did that, but I bet I know.

[FatSpottedAppy]

I remember Paso & Man being put on, that really upset me too and I'd also like to know who put them on.

[WashingtonBay]

And that's why I don't want posts like what she does on our forum.

If she ever picks on one of us... I want a secure seat on the high horse :)

[Kaitlyn]

I don't remember Paso being picked on? But I surely remember MWTC being picked on

[FatSpottedAppy]

I don't remember Paso being picked on? But I surely remember MWTC being picked on

Pasolover, or something along that lines, from Horse.com who had a old pregnant mare.. Who lost the baby I think? Someone help me get my story straight, I think that's how it went but I can't remember for sure.

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

Some bounty of information you guys turned out to be... :rolleyes:

I just wanna know why it is that after my fifth or sixth bourbon you always pull my posts. It's like you know somehow... some secret moderator trick... yes... some secret handshake that only forum moderators are tuned into... that must be it...

:innocent:

[WashingtonBay]

:D :p

You're going to give us both a bad rap! I don't think I have ever pulled anyone's post on this forum! Not for bad behavior. Only a few odd circumstances, and spammers, so far. :)

It's my intention to make you live with what you say - bourbon or not. :D

[PoniesRock101]

:popcorn: I never kept up with fugly enough!

I have nothing exciting to say. The router was down so I've barley been on for the last few weeks! I've just been sitting on here http://www.horsechannel.com/blog/viewbio.aspx?apid=71633 trying to catch up after being off for awhile. I fianlly am, but now it just keeps saying SITE MAP GRRRR but on the good side I almost have enough points for another free years worth magazine subsription! WOOT!

[quest]

Wow, I didn't even know about all of this stuff.... Sooo, let me get this right. Fugly got turned in by someone because some of her "followers" were going as far as contacting the people with the horses she critisized and harrasing them? Is that right?

[WashingtonBay]

That's what I understand... and not just in public forums and youtube comments, which was bad enough... like tracking them down. She writes a scathing bash of people, often people (kids) doing dumb stuff on youtube, turns molehills into mountains, usually greatly exaggerating the imminent threat, and then turns the posse loose to do what they do. Find their names and addresses, harass them, try to get animal control or CPS to go out there and 'do something'. Since that activity was usually in the comments... she never really 'tells' them to do this in the original posts, blogspot disabled her comments.

From what I understand, somebody went to this Dena's place, she says. She runs a rescue that had something get reported on f*gly.

That's what I gathered in the last week or so poking around. ;)

[quest]

Oh crazy! That's actually really scary. I never liked her blog for that very reason.

[FatSpottedAppy]

That's insane. People are insane. Reminds me a LOT of the internet group "Anonymous." Scary stuff.

Hasn't that happened there before?

I've heard recently of people getting banned from other forums for giving critiques that made the OP upset. I've always always always hated it when someone posts a horse for a critique then spends the entire thread defending what others point out about the horse.

There's the 'I can't accept anyone's opinion but my own and if you don't agree with me you're an idiot' crew that are on a couple of forums that I frequent.

Capone I....I guess it's more of a Canadian thing....he's a stallion that has been stolen/went missing/who knows....and the guy who he was in care of when he went missing has a less than stellar reputation anyway. (you can get a host of information just by googling Capone I and/or Doug (Douglas) Spink


Hmm...the other thread starts off as a "what discipline should my horse be in" and evolves into classical dressage goats and show chickens in the western pleasure ring...has a few know it alls in there...a couple that know what they are talking about and a couple that have no clue...add in a few personal spats...a picture of a horse walking into a house(I thought it was neat actually) and a few other things and it makes for a good reading!

[WashingtonBay]

Fair enough TRH! Sounds like good reading :)

[GrungeEquestrian]

Sorry, I used to be on a few forums, mostly just looked around but I'm usually just here...so I'm not use for information. But wow fugly picked on Steve...wow she REALLY gets on my nerves.

Pasolover, or something along that lines, from Horse.com who had a old pregnant mare.. Who lost the baby I think? Someone help me get my story straight, I think that's how it went but I can't remember for sure.

Yeah didn't she have an older Arabian mare that she was told wasn't a maiden and wanted to breed her so she would have a part of her after she would pass. Then she found out she was actually a maiden and ended up loosing the foal?! :huh: I think I have some of the facts straight...that was a while ago and my memory isn't that good. It really ticked me off though, that and MWTC.

I am not a member but I lerk and I can tell you, some people when in the comfort of the internet are not who they truelly are in person. They create fake IDs so people will like them and so they can pretend to live a life that is not thier's.

Perhaps thinking a person is a troll when trying to reveal the truth is something to think about.

There is always two sides to every story and sometimes the internet blurs the lines.

I am just saying...

[gaited07]

I agree!

These people start these threads asking for advice or ??? and can't take the corrective feedback. They get all defensive and UGLY!!!

[WashingtonBay]

Gaited I think I agree with both of you... that if you're going to be really sensitive, don't ask for a critique....

But on the other hand, people CAN give an honest critique while still having some tact. And there can also be a time when... enough said. A critique is just one answer, one opinion... not necessarily something you need to beat the OP over the head with until they submit to your point of view. :)

In between there lies the balance :)

[Horseaholic]

WB I can't believe you start a thread like this and get me all excited for some gossip and no one can help ya out...

Pasolover, or something along that lines, from Horse.com who had a old pregnant mare.. Who lost the baby I think? Someone help me get my story straight, I think that's how it went but I can't remember for sure.

Yeah, she had an Arab mare, who I think was in her mid-late 20s... pretty sure her name was Katie? :huh: I don't remeber if it was her first foal or not... I know the vet okay'd it, she bred her to some QH stud..... All was going well into late into the pregnancy, I think. Pretty sure she lost the foal around the time she got into that bad accident...?

Yes, True. I've seen some really nasty comments that could have been put in a more politically polite way instead of purposely hurting someone's feelings.

However, I do feel a lot of the people here on this forum is pretty up front, honest, to the point and most of the time nice about it (well, as nice as some can LOL);):innocent::p:p

[Palogal]

I used to like Fugly when she was just doing conformation critiques. I lost interest when she went after kids, rescues and everybody else. Although in some cases I agree (with helmets on kids for example) it got old pretty quick.

Yeah, that's happened recently at HGS. A new member posted some things on a critique thread that made the OP mad. Funny thing was, other people had made similar remarks but for some reason the new member got jumped on and called a troll.:rolleyes:

[Horseaholic]

uh oh WB are we about to have A LOT to talk about regarding our "deleted essay" thread soon?

smells a little fishy that it would start getting lots of hits once we start talking about drama?

On Fugly--accused of stealing someones husband who turned out to be a boyfriend. Posted in several locations. There were several nude pictures floating around of Fugly.

On HGS recent May trolling from another site with multiple bannings.

On Horsetopia--so called mass resignation of staff but who are actually the same people now using anon "Admin" and "Mod" sign ons. All due to a breach of security of the private "lounge" with material being posted on Horsedopia and the reveal of a mods cover up of knowingly selling horses to a member knowing they were being starved.

On catchride--the continual discussion of HGS members. Also the watching of certain COTH members and the discussion of them also.

I know that I am an infrequent poster here but I thought you all would like to know where Fugs is. Many of you know we had a falling out but the REAL reason is that she had an affair with my husband. Well guess what? She has not posted a blog today because she left WA DC and stopped in Atlanta to visit my husband again. She is there for some SEX! As you can tell my relationship with him is over. But I also thought I would let you know that she is a lying thieving WHORE! I have fully nude photos of her that she sent him in December if any of you are interested. Her phone number is _____________ if you all would like to call her and tell her what you all think of a whore!
She also used to steal from me when we were friends and sell the stuff on Craiglist to support herself. If any of you would like to email me my email address is _________________

Too funny about the fugly stuff.

Wow.. :)

Spyder I only edited out the contact info because I don't think I'd be on the high horse if I left it up... I'm interested in stuff on public forums, not in people's personal ID being public.

Too bad you have to join to see some of those forums! Rats! Appreciate the background though... :)

You GO, Spyder!

[oursarge]

I never know any "dirt" since we got this puppy I only have time to check here and Facebook. She is so much work, my house looks like a bomb went off in it!

I found out some very sad news though, one of the horses at the stable got out and got hit with a car and was killed. My heart is crushed, she's the first horse my husband ever rode, she was so sweet and gentle. Then to add more sadness they bought a horse at an auction and it was expecting a foal and the foal died during birth so it's just been a very sad night for me since I found out and a very very sad day for my best friend since it happened early this a.m.. She was such a great horse, you could put anyone on her and know they'd be OK. I can't believe she's gone. I feel bad about the foal but way worse about the mare, she was in a different pasture being babied because she had hurt her leg and somehow she got out of the fence and into the road. No matter how safe you try to keep them things happen and it's so sad.

[WashingtonBay]

oh dear... lots of sad news... sorry oursarge!

[cheval]

One thing about forums- if the thread has over five pages you can almost count on there being some sort of drama. That includes this one!

[WashingtonBay]

Yup... that's about the critical mass where someone is bound to have found something to be stirred up about. :)

One thing you can always count on for good fun/drama - Parelli or Natural Horsemanship. :)

Thanks WB my friend is really shook up, she tries to be strong but she's broken hearted, she loved that horse, she has lots and lots of horses [up to 80 at times but I think they are down around 50 or 60 now, that's counting mini horses and boarders horses] but no matter how many she has she loves them all, they are all special. This one was super special. She was afraid to tell me since she knows how I get and how much I loved that horse. I tried real hard not to cry when she told me but I've been crying since we hung up. She was such a good horse and it makes me mad that she probably didn't have to die, the driver was probably going way too fast since it was on a straight away he should have seen her. The cops were there I don't know if they'll ticket him for speeding or not. She said they acted mad they were called out but it's good there was a report in case he tries to sue them or something. They've had some bad luck with foals too, not sure why. It's just been very sad. I hope there is some fun gossip that comes up to make me laugh!

One thing you can always count on for good fun/drama - Parelli or Natural Horsemanship. :)

You're just too closed minded and stupid or it would work for you cheval. BTW, the reason horses dance around on cross-ties is.....
Saddling is very intimate to the horse, so tying them to tack up is like tying your sweetie to a tree to give him a kiss. You should NEVER tie your horse to saddle.

The copyright act allows "fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

So, therefore, we infringed no copyright anyway. Discussion on a free horse forum (not for profit) cannot be classed as copyright infringement. :)

Horsetopia just committed internet suicide by disallowing new membership.

And you should see what is on the other forum because they discuss more than just HT. Any forum "asshat" can be discussed. They also have some pretty intelligent members and posts.

[cheval]

Well Horsetopia is living up to it's reputation I've read on other forums - which has never been a good one.

It's funny - their Admin/Mod answer to locking threads without explaining or deleting threads is to not question them about it.

Oh and $500 to use the article? :hysterical: I wouldn't bother to pay that to use an article. I could get a new saddle for that price! ( A nice used one!;) )

[PoniesRock101]

Her exact words on that forum are...I don't steal other people's works, photos, videos or writing. I abide by the rules that I ask others to abide by.
Above is a qoute of a qoute I got on the mini forum with the drama.(http://www.miniaturehorsetalk.com/index.php?showtopic=110368&st=20) Post 25 What does that say about her blog?

[WashingtonBay]

What is the evidence that shame in the show ring is her blog?

Because in her email to me, anyway, she talked about the shame blog owner in the third person, not like it was her:

[Deleted Essay] - Page 31 - Baywind Farm Horse Forum (http://www.baywindfarm.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8779&highlight=deleted+essay&page=31)

Locking it isn't going to solve the problem!

I'm sending the owner of the Shame in the Horse Show Ring blog over so she can kipe pictures and quotes and use them in her blog. Your members have plenty of stuff they won't mind being stolen, because after all, it's on the internet.

Of course the Fugly Horse of the Day gal could do a lot with the forum too, she'll get an email later.

Now I don't condone stealing other people's work, but since your group has such a free spirited attidude about it I'm sure they won't mind Jean using their photos and such on her blog. She's a wicked bitch, but she sure knows how to point out riding and conformational flaws.

Some times it's nice to have friends in low places.

Ah - that only works in IE I guess... I still don't see it. It is ironic... seeing as how the whole purpose of that blog is to badmouth things she finds on the net.

Spyder if you're going to bring up the comment why not just share it?

To quote one comment without the reader viewing the surrounding posts is taking it out of context and would be an interpertation that could be misconstrued.

I know howI I would react (not happy) if I were the Baywind staff but each person is different.

Since I don't know the people there that well I am not going to try to interperate something said by a stranger.

Another forum mentioned it can take a few days to get access to Horsetopia.

I've been lurking around that site. I'm not quite getting why there is such a bad opinion of it. Is it only because of the Moderating?

If you are talking about HorseTOPIA they have disabled membership completely.

If you are talking about HorseDOPIA you have to wait to get approved and everyone does withing a short time.

[WashingtonBay]

I've been lurking around that site. I'm not quite getting why there is such a bad opinion of it. Is it only because of the Moderating?

I became a member there awhile ago. There's actually many members there who are familiar. But they did have an annoying setting on their forum that meant all posts by new members go into some moderator queue and a few of mine didn't get seen for days. It was frustrating because I signed up there to get and share info with another member there who had a renal failure case. New members are only going to stick around so long if their posts don't show up.

If they've disabled new membership completely now, then yeah, that's really dumb.

I think having manual approval of new members is also really dumb.

There are better ways to filter out spammers than that. It's rare any actually make it through here.

[cheval]

I don't know anything about Horsedopia - is that some sort of anti - Horsetopia site? That might prove to be an interesting read.

Why disable membership? Because of the Moderator issues? You can still read the forum at least.

[shiver]

This is what happens when I'm avoiding homework.... I read stuff like this. CRAZY...

I don't have any dish. But I loved Chevel's comment about the "poopy head"

And I hadn't read the copyright thread until today. And what I took from it was how bad I felt for lisa... she has such a tender heart. It must have been hard for her to watch that go down.

So do we get the dish about what was said about baywind on that other forum????

[WashingtonBay]

Sorry shiver... for the time wastage ;)

No idea... I'm still waiting for this 'manual approval' which may or may not come. No dish to report and Spyder ain't sayin'.

It really reminds me of what happened on horse.com - except there it was supposedly all technical problems, not on purpose. Still had the same effect. First all the current members got frustrated due to the issues - pms not working, posting not working, etc. Then no new members could join. The board died. Its been revamped and works, but its still pretty dead in the water as far as bb go.

Seems HT is doing the same damn thing - except on purpose. You are right OMC - internet suicide.

Don't know about pms - but when the one board was pretty well broke, they kept posting saying to go to baywind and they kept getting taken down. About the only thing the horse.com moderators were being active with. It was a mess. http://s4.images.proboards.com/sad.gif I actually really liked baywind initially...

Yes there are alot of kids here ( me included) But as FSA said we don't turn into being really bothersome! or whine and throw hissy fits, none of us kids are Know it alls either! Like you see on most horse forums.

[WashingtonBay]

If they'd have been personally critical of someone other than me, I probably wouldn't have posted it. I'm not worried about it.

[peace_baby]

I honestly don't think there's any big deal with what was posted. Nothing really bad was said about the forum. And hey.. What can they really say other than that there are more kids than on other forums and the moderator mingles with the members? Sure it gets a little heated in certain areas of the forum, but what forum doesn't? :) No harm done.

And here's to The WB's for their awesome job here as El Duderino and La Duderina! :cheers:

[cheval]

That's stupid. WB barely has to step in and when she does it's because it was flat out necessary. This is the LEAST moderated board I have ever been on. And I think it works way better than the ones that are over-moderated. I wrote a post over on horseforum.com about being pissed off and they censored the word 'pissed' and put in 'ticked'. I contacted them and they said it was because of the younger members.

Bizarre.

'Rudy' huh? Interesting insight from a current member. :rolleyes:

FSA if you remember some of the moderator issues over at h.com then that will answer your question. The Conformation section.

The kids here are way better than any other forum I've seen. Granted many of the members of h.com didn't like mingling with them and branched off to start adult forums and that was fine too. But the stuff that goes on here very often relates to the adults as well.

If you want to see kid drama you can see it on HGS and thehorseforum.

[cheval]

Now you know why I didn't post anything.

My interpertation would have been different.


In what way?

[WashingtonBay]

Well, I don't want to make either of them feel bad for saying it.

I think the younger members probably have to clean up their language for the older ones... at least, that's the way it was when I was a kid. :D

[quest]

Out of all the forums I have visited/been involved with, when it comes to moderation it seems that the members here are much happier with this type of moderation situation then others where people tend to feel superior with their power and change/delete things just because they can. Or the mess horse.com was in which the moderators were never there to fix problems

[Spyder]

If you want to see kid drama you can see it on HGS and thehorseforum.

True for HGS as it is like Horsetopia and full of butterflies and rainbows.

Only partialy true for horseforum for at least you can tell it like it is. Not so here, HGS or HT where you would (depending on the forum) get banned, negative repped or insulted.

could someone whos a member of horsedopia fill me in on who posted that? I'm not mad I'm just curious and it isn't fair that I can't see it! lol :p

I've seen plenty of people told to back off on horseforum. You are somewhat correct about here - but it's been more of the adults that you have to seem to hold back giving straight-forward advice than any of the kids here.

'Rudy' huh? Interesting insight from a current member. :rolleyes:

yeah, it's not who i thought it was though!

You think we're butterflies and rainbows, or you'll be banned, really? I am a bit curious about this perception, Spyder. I have banned exactly one couple (for behavior) from this forum since it began, and I think given only one short suspension that I didn't even stick with. And it was not because they were harshor unpopular in their opinions... It was because their mere presence here was a disruption. I have deleted no posts, and hardly ever edited any for content. It's my stated policy that I won't act unless it's a pretty big deal that demands it.

I am not mad you feel this way, I'm just curious to know where it comes from. I think everyone can 'tell it like it is', and I don't think most are afraid to. You may be argued with, and if you're unkind to someone others may defend them, many people here are good friends, but I generally encourage people to fight their own battles and report to me only egregious acts and spammers.

If people are 'nice' here, it's not because I demand it. It's just a nice group.

FWIW, on HGS, while I do think I got one negative rep because I ticked off the OP with my opinion, most of the positive reps I've gotten were times where I did take an opposing or controversial point of view. People may be afraid to do that, but in fact, that's what often earns points, if it's argued well.

Never said that either of those applied to this forum. I have my own seperate opinion and it will remain my opinion.

[WashingtonBay]

You're free to have your own opinion of this forum. :) Good or bad.

I just thought this sentence (below) says we ban, neg repped or insult people for telling it like it is (whatever that means), and we don't do any of those, is all. :)

at least you can tell it like it is. Not so here, HGS or HT where you would (depending on the forum) get banned, negative repped or insulted.

You may be argued with, but that's different, IMHO... that's other people telling how they think it is. :)

[shiver]

Hum... Interesting. I think it was a true statement made on the other board. Not bad. And I love that we can talk about it without getting upset.

Seriously... I wonder what other horse forums thinks of us talking about them? Do they think of it as a negative or positive. Although this thread is suppose to be about dirt. And no one likes there dirty laundry hung out for all to see. It has been an interesting concept.

WB, I may not have been a member until recently but I have known most of you for a few years now, and have done some lingering (couldn't think of the right word) here since the forum began. I actually like the way you monitor. I like that we can talk with you and that you are part of the everyday stuff that happens here.

In regards to who it was that said that... does it really matter? They weren't comfortable here so they left. It was a smart thing to do. Not complain about it... just figure something else out.

[Arrow]

Kids? What kids? I wasn't aware of any kids. We have some pretty cool young women. Not sure if we have any young men. But I'm pretty sure that we don't have any kids.

[shiver]

I agree Arrow.

Now if that one drama girl.... can't remember her name, who was banded from the other board showed up and started that stuff again I would agree. But I think the youth are a grate asset here.

[Equine_Woman]

Ah :)

Well, that's cool :) I don't care. It may be a fair assessment... we do have a lot of "kids" and the moderator is indeed active. I'd challenge anyone to find a nicer bunch of kids anywhere, though, or a less oppressive moderator. :D

Will continue to try to please everyone, even if I inevitably fail.:innocent:

Well I must say that this place is like an oasis for me. My friends are all here and we can talk about horses and life and it's a great group of people. We'll never please everyone, but those that are happy here are fantastic!

Unless you are talking about someone else, that person is still here.

[WashingtonBay]

Well, that's OK too... no strife. :)

I haven't been able to follow any gossip today, been busy with less fun things. But don't let that stop you guys from looking around! :)

Here's a fun read:

http://www.horsegroomingsupplies.com/horse-forums/horse-laying-down-283820.html

Saw it on the horsedopia forum.

[WashingtonBay]

Huh - I actually participated in that one early on... hadn't seen what it turned into.

[cheval]

It's crazy!

Honestly though, who would kick a horse in the ribs that had laid down?

Wow.

Not me. Horses I've seen lay down while working have been sick or really really tired.

I won't say there aren't any that figure it out as a sympathy ploy to get out of work, Endospink featured one once in a video... but it would NOT have been my first thought.

And I don't want to get all Parelli on people, but if a horse is willing to lie to get out of work... maybe you're not doing your job in making work fun... or at least, not without some reward.

[cheval]

I've seen plenty of horses lay down to throw a temper tantrum. Horses are very clever when it comes to them getting out of working. But kicking them doesn't seem to be the first thing that comes to mind as far as getting them up!

No time to read the article. But I know a MALOR IDEAT!!! Who had once advised me to do that. " Come on Jen, that horse is walking all over you and just wants to get out of its work. Just give it a couple of good kicks in the ribs. It will just get their attention. Their big animals." And I'm not talking about when I was riding the horse either. I mean when it was down. The guy was an ideat. He thought if he went to a couple of Clintin Anderson shows he was then the horse whisper. CRAZY. So yes it happens.

[quest]

Once i had just gotten off Quest and didn't even get the halter off and he just plopped down and laid flat out with his head on the dirt. Scared me to death, i thought for sure my horse dying. I believe now that it may have been some form of tying up, poor guy. After about five minutes he got right up and seemed fine. I wouldn't trust many people to tell the difference though between an attitude or a problem. For horses with an attitude someone on that thread suggested waiting until they get up then work them harder. I don't think that would work, then they'll just lay down longer next time since as soon as they were stood up that they had to work. It would kind of be like disciplining a horse that you finally got a halter on in the pasture after chasing them around for a bit; they finally allowed you to catch them, then they got disciplined for being caught. I think the best thing is to just learn the signs and keep there feet moving- don't let them lay down in the first place

[cheval]

The horses I've seen do it, it was pretty obvious it was attitude. They didn't like what was being asked of them and laid right down. They weren't in distress of any sort. I saw people either try and pull them up or click at them to get them up or they'd just walk off and when the horse got up they acted like the horse didn't even lay down.

[HoustonFarrier]

I had a horse in for training who used to just flop down in harness, connected to the forecart........go figure.
