[@Tara101]

yes the same

[@RavenSaint1]

Last horse I met, that the owner yelled at it. He ended up with a broken orbit (blinding him as he smashed the side of his face) and damaged his front feet at one of the jump shows she took him to. She kept him and every time he was sound for his feet, she'd ride him at jump shows. He was a good horse when she wasn't around, but as soon as he heard her on property, he'd kick, bite, and act up all sorts. The only reason she had him was to ride him in shows. When I left the barn I worked for, she finally sold him to the farm for retirement (he was so sour she couldn't touch him anymore), but she brought in a new trackner for doing shows the same as she did with her blinded horse. I heard later that the horse was taken to a cross country show and died on the course. Was a jump at the top of a hill and then one right at the bottom with only maybe a horse length (if that) from the down side of the hill to set up for the jump there. Friend told me that the poor horse was whipped because he broke his leg and she didn't even care enough until the horse got up and his leg was broken badly. I never saw that horse besides when it arrived, but if she rode him the way she rode the horse I had known. That horse was probably soured, already hurting, and or that last jump was something it possibly didn't have the skill to handle with a angry rider. Seen too many riders who thought they were the best riders and treated their horses like it was the horse's fault for fidgeting, kicking out, and dancing around when the rider couldn't sit still or properly. These riders cuss and yell if they are corrected, the horse gets confused and starts to try to do everything that the rider is telling them to do, then jam the bit to pull the horses head one way or the other because they are getting angry at a poor confused horse who doesn't know why they are being punished for trying.

[@kitieriwhite7758]

@@RavenSaint1 Good Grief! And that's the reason my mom and I never used a whip on our horses and if they didn't feel comfortable doing something we asked them to do, we either get off their back to show them its safe or just not do it and allow the horse to feel comfortable

I’m quite strong minded when it comes to horses who kick-either they’re red-ribboned AND made to stay at the back of any arranged meet or outing and if the rider has no thought for the safety of other riders and horses then they aren’t welcome to join.

Isn’t there a similar obligation for equine pleasure riding clubs to have a written structure for membership, rules and procedures, governance, hosting events, Infractions and consequences, etc.?

Honestly to be able to ride trails like this would be such a privilege (we don’t have ones available like this where I live). But after seeing some of the people you come across I’m not sure I would want to ride them after all

[@sharonsiegrist7183]

You were a lot nicer than I would been with her! Poor Carlin he knew what was coming but couldn't get away quick enough. I would have reported her to someone. These people should not be allowed in these rides! Once there's an incident they need to be booted!

[@suern0000]

Oh my gosh, this was so upsetting to watch! That blasted kick really left a mark. 😢 Props to you and Farouk for staying calm and moving on. What an irresponsible rider that one is. Ugh! I hope you don't encounter her and her dangerous horse ever again. I hope Farouk's *owie* heals quickly and cleanly. 🙏🐴❤️💕

[@sandrapatenaude186]

Idiot! Rider didn't seemed concerned about her kicking horse! Farouk is a sweetheart 💕

[@riverraven7]

Her horse is just like her!!! I could tell by Farouks body language when you first came upon them that he didn't trust being behind that other horse....and the owner is atrocious. You're too kind dear Tara.

[@Tara101]

One can't be too kind.

[@waywardpelican]

Oh!!!!! This makes me so angry! Stupid, thoughtless, inconsiderate riders (I don't blame the horse). $@%#$^$@&^ dumb Dora rider. And I am being restrained. Poor little Farouk! (((Air hugs to our injured baby!)

[@altalee1026]

That would really upset me you take such care with your horses I’m sorry this happened to you hope your horse is ok 😢

[@madelineevans128]

Hi Tara, I am so sorry Farouk was injured by that other horse. The rider did not seem very concerned after the fact. Her horse was a kicker but her shouting at the horse makes me wonder how he is being looked after and trained. Brutal handling = brutal animal. I hope Farouk isn't swollen or bruised and the wound doesn't leave a scar on his coat. That horse had shoes and if it had clipped Farouk on the jaw or side of the head it would have been extremely serious. I hope you told the organizers about the two people on the two chestnuts. ❤ for Farouk.

[@Tara101]

I did, but Julia didn't know the person even with the footage

[@jaeeva]

Hi Tara, really hope you are bth ok. What an irresponsible rider... She should of apologised. Very rude. She needs reporting

[@jaeeva]

Hi Tara. Really hope you are botj ok. Wha

[@vickirichards3898]

Oh my , Tara, thank you for telling us and showing us the good the bad and the ugly of horsemanship .

[@kellyheidisavage5848]

Omg Tara, nothing adds up to what that lady was saying, poor Farouk, bless him.🐎

[@Garden366]

You’re very kind to an immature bunch of entitled kids who can’t even give way for a faster horse. I’d send her my vet bill for treatment of the wound and I hope all her acquaintances, friends and family sees her actions. The world certainly has. Get well very soon Farouk!

[@brendawhite6540]

Oh my gosh Tara. And she doesn’t seem to care either…gee😒that could of been really bad😒get away from them quick….gee!!! Hi Ike, I hear ya👍❤️Faruck deserves extra carrots for all that! You probably need a nice glass of wine👍😁I hope you two are okay 😁💕

[@Tara101]

🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕😊

[@bentleybraswell3068]

That is horrific! I hate when riders have horses that kick with no red ribbon! But the fact she didn’t stay in the back or let you pass was terrible. Tara, you have amazing patience, if that was me she wouldn’t have gotten away without a earful.

[@susanbeesley8299]

What a shock for you both x poor Farouk x hope you are okay x dangerous horse

[@Tara101]

👍

[@trishaallen9624]

She didn't even apologize to you. Thank God Farouk and you are okay. Also it seemed like they weren't going to let you pass either. You and Farouk were very calm about the situation. I hope you both weren't injured. You held your composure though. He's a beautiful horse!!

[@rolandferri911]

What a great man he is for being so calm for you.

[@Tara101]

👍🐴

[@2036livy]

This absolutely broke my heart. What a good loyal boy you have there 💕

[@bevbremer2680]

I agree with you Tara, that person knew the horse was a kicker!! I admire how you handled it, but I think I would have made my comment a little louder that her horse needs a (huge) red ribbon on it's tail. I was upset that that happened to Farouk!! I hope that mark on Farouk isn't real bad. I'm still upset, wow. Even tears are coming. I'm sorry it hurt to see that happen. Farouk didn't do anything to that horse he's a champion for sure. Bless him💖🐎🏆

[@Tara101]

🥰

[@liliasawyer7145]

This is such an important lesson. Thank you for highlighting the need for correct communication and proper equine etiquette. Glad your boy is ok.

[@suzannemc3114]

Sending hugs too farouk ❤️

[@Tara101]

🐴

[@PrincessNottingham]

What about hugs for Tara?

[@leighbrownsmith1446]

He was an absolute star through that video. That was an ordeal for you both and I hope he’s ok. The attitude of that rider with ‘kicker’ was shameful.

[@Tara101]

👍

[@giancarlaaddison7034]

On the bright side, Farouk was an absolute star! He could have reared or bolted but he really kept his cool as well!!! Nice job to you both!!

[@rebeccaweil1]

He was wasn’t he? I am like a proud auntie.

[@Tara101]

👍

[@Tara101]

🥰

[@shirleymilton5178]

Tara ,I love your video. I was riding behind a horse that kicked .It didn't luckily kick my horse but it kicked my leg and broke it. It took me a long time to get back to the yard. You were both so fortunate that the horse didn't make contact.

[@Tara101]

Sorry to hear that, it must have been a nightmare, were you with someone?

[@lindakinder929]

Poor Faroukles.😡 That could have been so nasty. I bet it was painful enough for Farouk as it was as it caught him on area with not much covering. Bless him. And he was even brave about the mud too. 🥰

[@katieaiken3000]

Omgosh that made me so mad and sad at the same time; being SO breathtakingly rude to you and the other riders, putting EVERYONE around her in danger, and then screaming at the animal she quite obviously mistreats…what a nightmare! Can you imagine what she must be like at home???😳😳😳🥺 Giving thanks y’all got home safely…poor Farouk- what a beauty he is through and through. 🥰 And I feel SO sorry for that horse that kicks- wonder why he kicks🧐🧐🧐

[@cathrynsuarez1695]

That could’ve been quite nasty Tara. She was very unresponsible and I really hope she learns from that lesson. Poor Farouk what a beautiful soul that he is .

[@veritynash1284]

Absolutely disgusting behaviour!! What a rude woman. No regard for other riders/horses whatsoever and quite frankly she shouldn't be riding. The fact that there was no reason at all she couldn't have put a ribbon on that horse? Farouk's calmness and confidence is amazing - and you have the patience of a saint!!! I don't think I could have kept my nerve😅👏

[@Tara101]

👍

[@cerievangelidis9900]

I'm shocked, poor Farouk. As you rightly say Tara that could have been worse for Farouk but it also could have been pretty devastating if that kick had caught you. I watched a 24 hours in A&E recently where that exact thing happened and the rider received an absolutely devastating injury xxx

[@Tara101]

🐴

[@kimberlycollins6095]

Tara, you were very calm after your boy got kicked. I probably would of handled it differently for sure. I sure hope he is ok. Some people are responsible and some are not with their animals. You just met one who is not. Thank you for sharing.

[@frenzyviz6296]

Poor Farouk. Such a sweet boy. So glad it wasn’t worse. There should, at the very least, have been an apology.

[@Tara101]

👍

[@lottepepplinkhuizen9220]

She knew it would happen and still let it happen. What a dangerous rider

[@maryl1833]

I was surprised how FAR that horse could reach!! Would have been very hard for me not to say something.

[@georgiapines7906]

Poor Farouk! He certainly handled the situation like a gentleman, and you were a calm and caring presence for him, Tara. I'm so very sorry this happened.😔

[@Tara101]
