Saddle Up

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair

Saddle Up is a funny old place, fairly large population, heavily female, mostly horsey.

Yesterday I was shocked at how a casual racist comment was just sat there as presumably until I reported it no one else had considered doing so. It has had its fair share of con artists one who used the forum to sell dodgy warmbloods with fake passports, others who have had horses on loan at livery and just vanished from the yard whilst stringing the owner along about how well the horse is doing. Bitter people with no idea that the reason everyone reacts to them in the way they do is because of them. Someone taking in youngstock liveries and failing to look after them with owners having to stage rescues. Others who have 'history' but hide their dark side well and.

And then you get ClassicalEq who puts their personal money on the line to rescue said loan horse from untenable situation and all without judgement. Bonbon who puts expensive Sprenger irons in post and trusts me to pay her.
