Clearly my post about stone throwing didn't resonate with some or some didn't quite understand it.

So, let me clarify.

My choice of having a go at reining/ranch/western is mine and mine alone. It doesn't effect you personally does it?

Let us just assume I will practice what I preach and ride as a soft rider and look after my horse and not emulate the worst of the worst. Yes there are some issues that can be improved on, but really? only in reining/western? I think not.

If you yourself are involved in ANY horse discipline (except hobby horse showjumping), I most certainly could show photos of the worst of the worst in that discipline and move blame onto everyone else for their choices. But I don't.

I work on educating and making things better and safer for clubs, custodians and organisations to progress on horse welfare in every discipline. If you want me to single one out I am happy to do that because there is one 'sport' that I detest in its entirety and people who support it, whether ethically or not, are in no place to judge me (or anyone else for that matter).

So with that off my chest - maybe we just focus on how to do things better in regards to horse welfare in EVERY discipline and not single out one as being more damaging than the other.

Like politics, religion and what you choose to eat - do whatever you want. We all lucky enough to have the right to vote however we want, believe in any god or whatever we choose to and eat meat should we be so inclined. We would like to do all these things without being judged by hypocrites.

Please understand this. There are good people trying to change things within the industry, and the constant finger pointing is absolutely not helpful at all.

So, can we please just stop and work on change in a positive way. Support those who are trying to do that and lets not write off an entire discipline because you don't like it.

Why? Because I can show you photos of crap treatment of horses in EVERY SINGLE ONE even liberty and trail riding. I can show you photos of crap trainers in every single one. I can show you photos of crap riders in every single one. Standards are changing. Slowly but surely more awareness and support for change is the way to go.

I don't post cruel photos on this page for a reason. I won't share videos of horses being whipped over 40 times by an Olympic Rider either. You only have to look at sales ads on Facebook to see why horses are shut down, have mouth issues, bad backs, etc.

Change often happens from inside the tent.

The only way to change the industry is to educate people not p**s them off!

Just as a side note, trying to find a photo to go with this post of a relaxed kind horse in any discipline was virtually impossible.

End of rant..

PEACE MAN!

I will talk more about boundaries on the weekend when I have time to video with the Ginja Ninja who is going through "pushing of" said boundaries atm. Also, what "teaching manners" does when you ignore why they are being obstroperous. Good word hey!?Another share from Milestone Equestrian on the same page as Shelby. Please visit her page and please feel free to ask more about how your horse would benefit from even one session with the BBB.

More money, means more time with horses so that's gotta be happiness!

Three years ago today I stood at an open gate. I was taking a photo of a grey horse I was interested in buying as a future ranch horse.

While I was chatting to Greg, a big black horse had better ideas for his own future.

The BBB walked up to me and put his head on my chest and wouldn't move.

Now he is giving back and sharing his gift for kindness, understanding and patience.

A big OTT rescue now helping humans and their horses.

I want to pose a question.

If you have been involved in any discipline you will know people will say their discipline is better for horses in the welfare department than another.

English vs Western..even within those there is finger pointing.

Yes there are crappy trainers, riders and owners in every one of them.

But...which of the following has the best record of improved horse welfare standards?

Photos are from internet of a selection of horses in action from a random search. I don't know any of them. None are meant to highlight anything but the discipline standards based on this random search.

Now, for me. My goal is to be a kind rider no matter which one I have a go at...be it reining, sporting, barrels, ranch or trail riding. To have a horse happy to do these with me aswell. A horse who enjoys life.

But in this lot, I see only one that can throw stones and lay claim to be the one maintaining horse welfare standards above all others.

Ps its the last screenshot.

12/06/2025

Why haven't you ridden him yet?

Got that alot with BBB and now the Ginja Ninja.

Well....

This....rehabbing is more than body...the mind and soul support that through state of being. Freaked out horse waiting to be whacked by a human can't be fixed.

Please read this post https://www.facebook.com/share/1CKrekyFeF/ to see why I take time...and an example of where we are with a horse that you couldn't catch, was threatened at every movement and scared of a touch esculating to spurs in the guts, being twitched or a thump on the head.

I saw some trainers recently who create horses like this. Shut down and hating life. Imagine a horse hating being alive. That is a tragedy. We are supposed to be their custodians. But then again, doing aged care support work shows me people can't even look after their own parents!

Rant over...more coming to a FB page near you.

Have a great weekend.
