#the mile wide gap between loving your animal and respecting your animal on FULL display

[nordfjording]

internet algorithms pouncing on me with horse content while ive been well out of horses for over 15 years and frankly: i had forgotten how unhinged equestrians were

#this post originally said pro equestrians but lets be honest #like 70% of the amateur ones are off their fuckin rocker as well #every single horsey influencer has the exact same vibe as those #dogfluencers that raw feed and try to convince you that you shouldnt feed royal canin because mars co also makes snickers #and your dog will rot from the inside #one major reason i never got In With The Crowd when i was actively riding was that whole #'my horse and i are bonded and so i can throw whatever i want at my horse because it Trusts Me' (horse: dead inside and also hungry) thing #and im having to relive that now. because the world may have shifted but the horse girlies. they are the same. #the mile wide gap between loving your animal and respecting your animal on FULL display #stress watching 500kg hoofed animals doing their god damn best with the most reactive training methods you've ever seen. from a 19yo.
