An Entitled Daughter refused to care for her own horse, so another student (the original poster) had to put the saddle and bridle on it. ED also showed up for lessons wearing the white pants reserved for "formal" events, and then used a whip inappropriately (at her mother's instructions), causing the horse to bolt, and ED fell off. There's more to the story, but I don't care to repeat it here. Hope she landed in a mud puddle with her pretty white britches 5

After the mayhem was settled, the EM caused the first horse to bolt again, on purpose, because the OP was doing a better job of riding than the ED. She fell off too, but then her arm collided with a fence. The radius and ulna had hairline fractures, but the humerus basically got split down the middle. Sadly, the instructor was distracted and didn't see the Entitled Mother's actions. The EM then proceeded to taunt the OP about her apparent lack of skill, and how ED is such a better rider than her. When the OP eventually returned to riding, the entitled duo was still there. Disgusting. 4
Kitt Posted March 7, 2019 Author Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) Entitled families have been told they are no longer welcome at our place when they mistreat horses like that. I have gone so far as to escort one "gentleman" off the property at the end of a dressage whip when he hit a horse between the eyes with what I think was a rock, though I am not sure. Lets just say I have given more whip marks to people like him than all the horses I have ever ridden in my life! The horse staggered but was ok as pronounced by a vet btw. I sent him the bill.

One of my best friends was this kid named Jesse, who lived maybe a mile down the road. His adoptive parents owned horses, and he was really sweet and gentle with them. I only ever saw him get angry once, when a boarder used a whip inappropriately. That person never returned, but my neighbors ended up keeping the horse because the owner said "they're too much work, anyways." Once, I was trying to climb onto a horse. Guess I accidentally pulled his mane (sorry, horsie!), because he shook me off. Jesse caught me when I fell, and he had some pretty strong arms for a twelve-year-old. 3

I admit to punching a horse in the mouth once... he was a spoiled three, or maybe four year old who was a vicious biter. The young girl who owned him was scared of him, and was told the only thing to do was ship him, which was breaking her heart. She was a neighbor and they asked for my help... so I went there and waited for him to approach me... he was quick but I was quicker, and after that he never bit anyone again. At first, she and her mother were angry I did that (they even cried for Pete's sake), but they were killing him with kindness. They saw the light after that. I saved that horse's life. 2 2 1 1

You did not hurt him by grabbing mane. Its what you are supposed to do if you need help staying on. There are minimal nerve endings in their mane. In fact when you braid manes for shows you leave one handful at the withers unbraided. We call it the OS (oh shit!) lock. 7

We had a biter in our place for a long time. You could not leave him in his stall without his buddy next to him for any length of time. If you got back before his third whinny he was ok, after that he was EXTREAMLY difficult to walk out. I was turning him out (around the 4th or 5th whinny) when I saw he was left behind too long. Kept snapping at me. Warned him not to bite me but he didn't listen. The left hook got his attention when he caught my wrist, and he never bit me again. Talking to the owner later it turned out he had been abused and respected only those stronger than him. Guess my left hook said "strong enough". Unfortunately some horses only respect strength.

I've done that before with biters. I had a horse once who I had to tack up with a whip in my back pocket. He was a great horse, but the minute you turned your back, he'd go for you with teeth bared. But not if he saw a whip in your hand. 6
