UnicornPaint wrote:Hello, You all can call me Paint I have been riding for about 6 years now and I love it I do western. I also ride full bareback (I use the mane to control the horse) I recently had a issues at my barn and id like to know all of your opinions. When I ride I don't use a helmet, spurs, tie-downs, and whips I also sometime ride in pants and a tank top (Yes I always wear my boots.). I do use a bit when not riding bareback this one girl came up to me and grabbed my horses rains (This horse is a project horse I was working with I just bought her for 700 dollars as my first horse) I looked at her and asked, "Why did you do that?" She screams at me "Your a horse abuser because your using a bit and you should be riding with a helmet!" I was shocked I calmly got off wild colors (That's my mares name) and asked her very sternly to "let go of my horses reins before we have a problem." She then starts assaulting me saying I lie about my native american ancestors! (I am 5% native american I don't say I am native american I do say I have native american ancestor on my dads side for those who don't know native american blood if it doesn't stay in the line it starts to fade off.) I was getting more frustrated because she kept yanking very very hardly at the reins connected to my bridle finally she let go because WC was starting to get freaked out and was trying to rear. She then screams at me saying I need to have spurs as well and a whip she then insults my horse saying my horse in a broken down horse that has no potential. Lets just say my friend came over and handled it and once the girl was gone I started crying because I dont care if you insult me but I care if you insult my horse just because she doesn't have papers or the best of bloodlines and was a horse nobody wanted doesn't mean she can't do amazing things. (Btw when WC was trying to rear she called her a dangerous horse!) What are your guys opinion on this did I handle the situation well? Should I have done more?
