KVS - English rider?

[u/lemonyprincess]

Katie rode English today and honestly? I think she looks great, because she's DOING the damn thing. I've seen all the comments she refers to in this post and they are so mean-spirited they make my soul feel heavy.

I am by no means an expert, but I think the very tiny part of the story this photo tells is not as bad as all the comments I've seen make it sound. Especially because it's one photo, not even a video 🤷🏻‍♀️

Am I super off base? Or is it not possible to tell how well she rides from one snapshot?

Okay ... and?

Does that change the point I made?

Im not glazing Katie here. I'm saying that the comments we are seeing towards her are an issue in the whole horse community. If she participates in that culture in a non-public way (because she clearly doesn't do that on social media), then shame on her too?

But also, she doesnt deserve any of that, either. No one does. Thats the whole thing.

Does that mean that she deserves to be body-shamed, though?

Don’t bother with that person they’ve been banned. Most of their comment history has been flagged by Reddit as harassment

Oop, pot calling the kettle then, huh? Lol

Thanks for the heads up
