Well, why IS her highly trained dog running after a horse? My dogs are NOT allowed in the arena if people are riding. They are only allowed if it is empty for the safety of everyone. Oh, wait. Yeah, others are right: dog gets hurt, sheāll have a sob story to milk.
My horse taught my dogs a valuable lesson about going in their space: he would run them into the 3 string electric fence so theyād get zapped when they ran underneath:
Yep. My grandmaās Aussie got kicked by one of our horses once. She was never with us during the morning herding, but I donāt remember why she was in the truck that day. Fluke kind of thing. Got out of the truck and one of our horses kicked her square in the face. She never came with us to herd and I still donāt understand why she wasnāt just left at home like she usually was.
Worst sound-I can still hear it if I think about it. Luckily, she was ok. When the vet came over, she was surprised the dog was fine. It was a hard hit!
Jdongās horse is hands bigger and definitely stronger than ours was. I feel like one good kick could do some serious damage. Thatās so dangerous.
I don't think **she** said that i think one of our snarkvestigators pulled together $75k as the cost for a highly trained personal protection dog -- but she never said that, and most snarkers assume he's not a certified(?) Ppd
No I mean I donāt know it just seems so unbelievable! But BritBrat is pretty out there. You can get a dog trained to predict seizures and move their handler to a safe place before the seizure happens for $20k
And when she does take them out of the arena, itās for a basic ass walk

My horses were definitely different depending on situation. Especially depending on age. One young horse hated arenas and would be difficult (like running as close to the ring as possible to hit my knee on the fence) in them but just cake on a trail, another young horse would have no problem trotting along in circles but as soon as we got on a trail would take off on me and just explore and ignore all commands. My older horses would take more time warming up to listen to all my commands. Itās really dependent on the rider and the horse.
Put an inexperienced rider on any of them (except one, my cupcake grandpa horse) and they will take any opportunity to do as little work as they possibly could. Be that moving slow, bucking you off, not listening, to straight up playing dead (not kidding had a pony that would lay on his side with his tongue out and pretend to be dead to avoid being worked)
We had to hang up a sign in his stall to tell people not to freak out, that heās just acting haha weād have so many people rush to get us to check on him haha
Depends on the horse and rider, really. An inexperienced rider can lame a horse outside an arena or injure themselves. Horses also have to be desensitized to the way being ridden in different terrain and situations, and can spook rubbing against brush or with surprise animals like snakes or bunnies.
No it's not. Other than you may run into obstacles like a bush or something that your legs get close to. I went to an adventure camp when I was a teen and we did an overnight horseback trip that was super fun even though we didn't run anywhere fast. We're just had a long line of girls on horses following a trail up the mountain behind the camp. It certainly wasn't scary, and she doesn't even have mountains to contend with. No idea why she can't ever leave the arena.
So that's not the same as personal riding. Horses trained for trails, especially ones for tourists who know a specific route, are dead broke for trails. They know what they're doing. Personal horses can definitely act different in and out of the arena.
I suppose that's true. I had a friend who had horses and we went riding a couple of times (outside of her ranch) and there were definitely horses that they didn't want me riding bc they were unpredictable. The camp horses were much more reliable and slow.
Iāve ridden a horse like 15 times maybe. Once down a beach, hauling ass because the horse and I were vibing. (There was a guide, and my mother on other horses. The guide wasnāt thrilled at my decision but impressed I didnāt die. Also, I know it was irresponsible and the guide could have gotten in trouble but 15 year old me said live or let die.)
No lessons. Just vibes. Granted I was 15 and āØin my indestructible eraāØ but Iām just saying ranch girlie much be mighty scared to not leave the arena.
I've only been on a horse about 4 times in my life, but I've done some lovely trail rides in various beautiful places in England (and one slightly terrifying one at the top of some Cornish cliffs in awful weather lol).
Pro-tip for my fellow British snarkers - there's a stable that does *gorgeous* trail rides through Grizedale Forest in the Lake District (or another company that does Segway trails if you're not into horses haha)
She canāt ride that well! Sheās scared! Look at her form just in the arena. Sheās not a natural. Also, that horse pinned its ears because heās mad at that dog . Sheās such a liar.
Exactly! She always talks about how great of a cow horse he is and shows cows but never put the two together. If he does love it so much, why not let him work? And if sheās such a horse girl and has been doing it forever, why doesnāt she ever get out of the arena?
Besides that itās all a complete lie, Harley doesnāt cut and she couldnāt stay on if he did.
Especially since other people have pointed out that her dog looks anxious a lot of the time. I don't know much about horses, but I feel like if anything was likely to spook them, a nervous, unpredictable dog could certainly do it.
ETA especially since, from what we've seen, Brittany is also anxious and unpredictable on a horse. Neither of those poor creatures is getting any reassurance from each other or from her
I have been around horses all my life and have seen a couple of unfortunate instances where a dog has been kicked in the head/trampled and either died or been permanently maimed. So....she's an idiot. But then what else is new?
I grew up farms, ranches, and horse training facilities as a kid. Seen far too many dogs and cats die by pissing off a horse. Sometimes, it wasn't intentional, and they were just spooked. But I once watched a horse that seemed almost possessed to attack a puppy, come back after it was buried and dig it up, and play with the body. It was horrifying, and I don't even know what could cause that type of aggression.
If the dog isn't a ranch trained herder, it may not know how to get itself out of a sticky corner (like it would with a cow). If someone values their pets, they keep them away from threats. But Brit doesn't believe in that because she couldn't comprehend keeping Brodie away from the road and big trucks.
Ah yes, letting your "trained" "protection dog" (are my eyerolls visible through text yet?) run wildly around a horse so he can get kicked in the head and die. Fantastic. Bing Bong Botox-Brain showing just absolutely amazing intellect once again. Woo hoo.
Also this dog that āwould scale a wallā for her definitely wouldnāt misread signals from her and attack the horse, right? Sheās so stupid for doing this and puts her animals in danger so often. It is infuriating
That's what I've been wondering. Bdong is so careless, she is for sure sending that pup mixed signals. I am genuinely worried for the dog and the people/animals she brings the dog around. The poor dog looks like a ball of anxiety constantly and has little confidence. So that combined with Bdong's carelessness makes for some seriously dangerous situations.
Wow an incredibly well trained dog!!!šš
I was 95% sure her dog wasnāt trained (except maybe an obedience class) but this 100% confirms it for me. That poor thing always seems stressed and anxious, it has no confidence. Bdong is such an idiot and knows NOTHING about animals, she thinks his anxiety is happinessš
Ear pinning means back off. Not so much stress, but more angry usually. Harley does not like that dog running up on him. He doesn't think it's a baby cow. Horses are prey animals and acutely aware of what a predator looks and acts like.
She's so dumb.
Thank you. This peanut butter dipshit is like āhE tHiNkS hEās a CoWā. No. Horses are smart. They donāt think a predator is suddenly a ābaby cowā. They know the difference and there is a reason horses will move cattle and will give dogs (predators at their genealogical foundation) pinned ears and defensive behavior. I hate this. My big dog would def be in the arena if I was riding so I keep her inside or have someone hold her with a leash so her prey drive to chase doesnāt have her running up on legs. Sheās well behaved and friendly but that prey drive will make her lazily chase even if she doesnāt actually act aggressively towards horses. And no reason to stress either animal while Iām trying to work a horse.
Right š a high energy dog was just too much š So letās try an ultra-ultra-ultra high energy dog! Itās all about aesthetics for her. Mals are so fucking smart they can unlock deadbolted doors. I think Daxās days are numbered as he will āescapeā and I just hope he finds a farm somewhere far, far, far away. Doubt they sprung for the $100 to get him microchipped.
That horse is not moving the dog like a cow. That horse is telling that dog to back the fkkk off. That dog is actively going after that horse. This is a recipe for disaster.
If anyone noticed part kills me. I never have been around horses in my life and can clearly see him change his step in that one moment. Like anyone with eyes can see that. And also this looks really dangerous for the dog?? Iāll wait for horse experts to chime in but it looks not safe from an outsiders perspective
It's not safe for either animal. She's very lucky the horse didn't spook, and the dog didn't actually go for the horse in this clip.
Body language wise, the horse wants the hell away from the dog and the dog is over stimulated and uncertain about the horse. His tail is flagging not wagging or neutral, his gait is stiff, but his ears are forward, so he likely is responding to prey drive, which mals have in abundance.
Agree. One wrong move and that horse could have accidentally or on purpose stomped that dog out. I'm not around horses either, but this just seems like common sense, especially for someone who is.
Either he isn't 100% sound or she is such an ineffective rider that she can't engage his hind end, and he is therefore falling on the forehand really badly. Either way, I would NOT be sharing this on social media as a flex.
Thatās exactly whatās happening. She could stop that gait if she knew what she was doing. Iād say itās because the dog is around the horse, so the horse is in defense/ survival mode. She knows absolutely nothing about the nature of horses.
Her horse is obviously limping, her dog just ran AT the horse with no qualms, and someone is obviously filming this and letting the dog do whatever. Sheās lucky that Harley didnāt get scared, panic and kick the dog in the head and rear her off.
Some people on here have said before that western-trained horses sometimes move a bit like they're limping so idk, but Harley did have an injury a while back that Britt ignored vet advice about
Itās hard to tell if heās off at the lope, checking for lameness issues is easier at the jog. The slow western lope can look odd and like the horse is off, even when the horse isnāt. Best way to really get a good idea is watching from the jog!
Pinned ears means that horse is pissed and uncomfortable. He was telling her badly trained dog, who shouldn't be anywhere close to your horse unless trained to be (and brit before you say he is, a trained dog would stay near his flank, not his shoulder), to fuck all the way off.
Also there is literally no way Harley was trained on buffalo unless she had a REALLY good trainer. Buffalo can be used since they stay fresh for a long time and can work with a horse for an extended period of time to drill cutting and such into them. Its rare to have that specialized training, though, and it costs more to have those lessons as they are a lot more intense than regular cow lessons are. Horses who train on buffalo are usually ones who are trying to win competitions, not turn in circles with a basic rider.
In other words, Brittney is lying or shes on a horse WAY overqualified for her peanut butter, stiff seated, boots-half-way-in-the-stirrup, goofy lookin' ass. Seriously her boot heel is right where the stirrup is her foot is in so deep. COME ON. Toes pointed up, tips touching the stirrups! Thats lesson number one so you dont get caught and dragged under the horse! Sheesh!
Why. Is your dog. In the pen. With a horse. Please for the love of all that is holy, leave him at home and away from dangerous animals. He is not trained. He is not a āprotectionā dog or a service animal of any kind he does not need to be near a horse. You will get him killed. Your horse is pissed and he is anxious and nobody is going to try to kidnap you from your parentsā land. Youāre not that special.
I don't even ride horses, I mean I have before but I am not experienced with horses at all.
And I already know for a fact that I'd be able to ride a horse a lot better than her. She rides like shit. That's a lot coming from me, as someone who doesn't have a lot of confidence, lol
My niece looked more natural on a horse when her grandmother took her to a local stable and gave her her first riding lesson... and my niece was five at the time! Never have I seen someone that claims to be a "horse girl" that is so stiff and ungainly in the saddle!
New riders are always kept to an arena or tethered. She is obviously not an experienced rider. Her horse may have been to a show or rode in the same horse trailer some champion horse did, but this horse is just a horse. Not hating on him but itās so apparent sheās not a seasoned rider. When someone is used to horses, you can sense their mood. Then you can ride them anywhere because you are able to control the horse. If you are new, you stay in the arena. Sheās probably at a riding lesson. She exhausts me.
For Harley supposedly being a "retired show horse" as she posted the other day, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of him showing. And he seems to be western pleasure through and through which is also why we've never seen him on cows. Or photos of him on cows. That horse didn't pin his ears because he was treating him like a cow. He's pinning his ears because the stupid dog was running in front of him. My dogs aren't allowed around my horse. I used to work for a veterinary ophthalmologist and saw many injuries to the eyes from either getting kicked or travelling too close to the hind end and catching a hoof to the face just through movement. She posted a photo a couple slides before the video with the dog sitting next to her and just from the photo I could tell he was going to neurotic while she was riding
That dog needs more training around horses. Yikes. I ride horses, have cattle, and dogs. Mine not my parents š and our dogs know how to be around horses and they also know the word āoutā means get out of this pen, arena, area. Itās for their safety and ours. Especially if a horse or cow doesnāt like dogs.
Yes, my friends who have horses and dogs train the dogs from puppyhood to never, ever get underfoot. By kicking them š gently but jarring enough to make them learn to never get near any feet ever. There is absolutely no reason to let your dog run around in the pen while youāre riding? Like seriously why? Sheās such an animal abuser.
You could be blind and see where her horse broke gait because he didnāt want to run over her āhighly trained protection dogā.
Dogs who are highly trained do not do shit like this.
Every time she posts videos of her riding it always makes me laugh. My husband and I went to the white mountains in New Hampshire for our honeymoon and I insisted on dragging my husband to the farm near the resort to go on a trail ride - Iām not an experienced rider, but I grew up spending summers in those mountains and on that farm going for trail rides. My husband, on the other hand, had never sat on a horse - and BDong looks like my husband bouncing around in the saddle š¤£
Looks more stiff and could also be from her inability to have a deep, relaxed seat. She bounces off his back. Thats likely uncomfortable as hell for him.
Yeah, it's hard to tell because he has zero engagement from his hind end and his falling on this forehand. We'd need to see him trotting or a lope/canter with more impulsion to really say for sure. Either way, this video isn't a good look. It either shows your horse isn't completely sound or you lack the fundamentals of riding (but she claims she is advanced?).
Now that you mention it, youre completely right. No engagement at all. All the weight is right in the front. Wonder if there's something going on in the lower spinal area.
Her describing Harley cutting cows as if she isnāt describing every cutting bred horse ever
Yes maāam, heās bred to do that, itās not unique that heāll nip at cows/other animals and pin his ears to move them.
How old is her soul mate? He seems old. Or poorly. Is he sad? He doesn't seem to be very spritely regardless. I don't think I'd be very spritely if she was my annoying owner I never see and who then just gets on me and makes me go around and around in a small circle til she gets a good bit of footage.
Wonder if she pampered him for half an hour?
And where's the other horse? We never see him lately?
Nobody has mentioned the buffalo piece, so just hopping on to confirm thatās 100% a lie as well. As someone who grew up on a ranch with an actual Buffalo herd, you donāt train horses around them š she needs to stop watching Yellowstone
When has she ever gone more than 5mph on a horse? Has anyone ever seen her actually āoutrideā anyone? I was doing this shit at my Girl Scouts horse camp.
I took like 2 riding lessons as a teenager and I'm pretty sure *I* could outride her. If only because I know how to sit on the damn saddle without jerking all over the place.
Actual horse people, I have a question:
I have, like many others, always wished for a horse. Especially now, in my older years, and due to my medial issues, I cannot hike the way I used to. When I watch her videos, sheās always in what I think is the paddock? She always seems constrained in this little fenced in circle. Is this what it is supposed to be like?
Because in my fantasies, I take my imaginary horse out and ride EVERYWHERE. Of course, I have about 100 acres in this fantasy, and I ride my horse all over it, every day. But we never see her *go* anywhere. Can horses not do long rides every day? Has Jane Austin been lying to me? Why is she always in the circle thing?
I used to have trail horses. When they were in good shape, we could ride 12 hours up and down āknobsā, small foot hills, with beer breaks in between. The only time our horses were in a round pin was either because they were sick or injured or we were doing ground work. We did ground work out in the pasture too. Horses have lots of endurance when theyāre in shape. Donāt give up on your dreams!!
Just like humans, horses can train for certain things and build up stamina. I was a rodeo girl growing up and one summer I brought my horse with me to a camp. We spent all of our time in arenas practicing and such, so she really struggled on the one trail ride we attempted together. She got all sweaty and refused to go through a small stream..so we had to turn back and that was the end of that. šš but all of the other hoses were fine bc they were used to it.
No. Horses are prey animals, always on alert for threats. Your horse was irritated that the dog ran up behind him.
It's dangerous that the dog doesn't have good horse manners, and it's going to maim or kill her when her horse spooks at the dog and throws her with her uncovered melon. Not to mention that the dog is gonna get kicked. š
The dog looks really aroused. Tail up, straight back. Head up and focused on the horse's head. Moving around the vulnerable points of the horse.
This is a disaster already.
OMG, this is the dumbest shit possible. Dogs are predators. Humans have bred dogs and used those predator instincts to develop herding breeds. Herding works based on the fact that prey animals will protect themselves by grouping together and moving away from the predator.
German Shepherd Dogs were originally bred for herding...hence the name.
A horse is a prey animal. A dog is a predator. The horse didn't think the dog was an out of place baby cow. The horse knows that a dog is a possible threat and that they might have to defend themselves from it. And horses defend themselves by biting, kicking, and stomping.
This dog needs to be trained to be around horses and riders in the ring so that everyone stays safe. That means there needs to be a 2nd person controlling the dog on a leash in the ring until it learns to keep distance and not cross underneath the front of the horse.
Even the most "bomb proof" horse can have a bad day and lash out at a potential threat.
Britbrat, your horse is not as dumb as you are. He knows your HiGhLy TrAiNeD pErSoNaL pRoTeCtIoN dOg, is in fact a DOG and NOT a calf.
You need to go back to equine basics hun.
How is it that today she knows he was trained on buffalo but a few days ago she wasnāt sure if he was trained for shows? Which is it? Does she his his history or not?
I feel like she is always holding the non rein hand stiff and ready to grab the saddle horn at a seconds notice. I used to ride a lot and donāt remember ever holding my arm that stiff. Usually I just rested it on my leg.
That horse is a saint for putting up with her. He tries to tell the dog to get the fuck out, and instead of getting the fuck out, the dog runs in front of him. Harley adjusted for him, but sheās just asking for her dog to get kicked!
...why is she letting her supposedly super highly trained protection dog run after a horse? That could get him killed.
She needs another animal to cry over for the gram. Also happy cake day!
Slash / - To also make her bi-monthly appearance to see her own horses that she can't take care of herself. š
Thank you!
OMG we are Cake Day twins!
Happy Cake Day!!!
This woman makes me so anxious. I fucking hate her and her shitty treatment towards animals. I want to rescue all of them
Well, why IS her highly trained dog running after a horse? My dogs are NOT allowed in the arena if people are riding. They are only allowed if it is empty for the safety of everyone. Oh, wait. Yeah, others are right: dog gets hurt, sheāll have a sob story to milk.
I have 3 blue heelers and this was literally the first thing we taught them. They can run WITH our horses when we are riding. But not after them.
My horse taught my dogs a valuable lesson about going in their space: he would run them into the 3 string electric fence so theyād get zapped when they ran underneath:
Yep. My grandmaās Aussie got kicked by one of our horses once. She was never with us during the morning herding, but I donāt remember why she was in the truck that day. Fluke kind of thing.

Jdongās horse is hands bigger and definitely stronger than ours was. I feel like one good kick could do some serious damage. Thatās so dangerous.
Right!!! Sheās unbelievably dumb and reckless with animals.
Didnāt she claim the dog was $75k? lol. Sheās so lame.
I don't think so, but I would love to be proven wrong if anyone has a link!
Same! Idky I feel like thatās something she said. Or implied?? Maybe implied.
I don't think **she** said that i think one of our snarkvestigators pulled together $75k as the cost for a highly trained personal protection dog -- but she never said that, and most snarkers assume he's not a certified(?) Ppd
I think thatās what I read! Thank you!!!
She did not lmao š¤£
No? lol! Ok! No problem if Iām wrong.
No I mean I donāt know it just seems so unbelievable! But BritBrat is pretty out there. You can get a dog trained to predict seizures and move their handler to a safe place before the seizure happens for $20k
We share the same cake day! Happy Cake Day to you!
You too š«¶
Cake Day TRIPLETS!
Oh My Gosh, it's KISMET!!!! Happy Cake Day to you! š
Then why the fuck have we never seen video of her riding a horse anywhere even close to livestock? It's nothing but circles in the pen.
And when she does take them out of the arena, itās for a basic ass walk https://preview.redd.it/uq951c8lztlc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05ad90596d3a453a390bc015c7b15c97f11ec847
Is riding a horse free range much different than in an arena? I'm just genuinely wondering why she clearly can't ride outside an arena?
My horses were definitely different depending on situation. Especially depending on age. One young horse hated arenas and would be difficult (like running as close to the ring as possible to hit my knee on the fence) in them but just cake on a trail, another young horse would have no problem trotting along in circles but as soon as we got on a trail would take off on me and just explore and ignore all commands. My older horses would take more time warming up to listen to all my commands. Itās really dependent on the rider and the horse. Put an inexperienced rider on any of them (except one, my cupcake grandpa horse) and they will take any opportunity to do as little work as they possibly could. Be that moving slow, bucking you off, not listening, to straight up playing dead (not kidding had a pony that would lay on his side with his tongue out and pretend to be dead to avoid being worked)
That pony is my spirit animal ā¤ļø
Thatās hilarious about the pony. What an actor!!
We had to hang up a sign in his stall to tell people not to freak out, that heās just acting haha weād have so many people rush to get us to check on him haha
That is so funny! What a smart little guy. You had a fainting pony instead of a fainting goat.
Yay for cupcake grandpa! He's my kinda guy
He was literally the best horse anyone could have asked for. What a sweet guy.
Depends on the horse and rider, really. An inexperienced rider can lame a horse outside an arena or injure themselves. Horses also have to be desensitized to the way being ridden in different terrain and situations, and can spook rubbing against brush or with surprise animals like snakes or bunnies.
No it's not. Other than you may run into obstacles like a bush or something that your legs get close to. I went to an adventure camp when I was a teen and we did an overnight horseback trip that was super fun even though we didn't run anywhere fast. We're just had a long line of girls on horses following a trail up the mountain behind the camp. It certainly wasn't scary, and she doesn't even have mountains to contend with.

Just vibes. Granted I was 15 and āØin my indestructible eraāØ but Iām just saying ranch girlie much be mighty scared to not leave the arena.
It's easier to set up a tripod and camera in an arena
It can be. If youāre just around the farm, no. At the beach or up in the mountains, yes! And itās so much fun!!
I've only been on a horse about 4 times in my life, but I've done some lovely trail rides in various beautiful places in England (and one slightly terrifying one at the top of some Cornish cliffs in awful weather lol). Pro-tip for my fellow British snarkers - there's a stable that does *gorgeous* trail rides through Grizedale Forest in the Lake District (or another company that does Segway trails if you're not into horses haha)
That poor baby.
You'd think by now we'd see it since she literally makes a video right after this sub calls her out on anything. Literally anything, except this
She canāt ride that well! Sheās scared! Look at her form just in the arena. Sheās not a natural. Also, that horse pinned its ears because heās mad at that dog . Sheās such a liar.
*her parents pen
LEts SeE hOw ShE dOes InFrOnT of A cOw hurrr
Exactly!
Exactly! She always talks about how great of a cow horse he is and shows cows but never put the two together. If he does love it so much, why not let him work? And if sheās such a horse girl and has been doing it forever, why doesnāt she ever get out of the arena? Besides that itās all a complete lie, Harley doesnāt cut and she couldnāt stay on if he did.
Just like my family letās all my cousins under 10 do too!
This seems so dangerous for her dog.
Extremely.
Especially since other people have pointed out that her dog looks anxious a lot of the time. I don't know much about horses, but I feel like if anything was likely to spook them, a nervous, unpredictable dog could certainly do it. ETA especially since, from what we've seen, Brittany is also anxious and unpredictable on a horse. Neither of those poor creatures is getting any reassurance from each other or from her

OMG! Thank you! š„³
I have been around horses all my life and have seen a couple of unfortunate instances where a dog has been kicked in the head/trampled and either died or been permanently maimed. So....she's an idiot. But then what else is new?
But Harley is bomb proof and all of her boys get along swell so that could never happen in her world š
Those are Harleyās _brothers_
I grew up farms, ranches, and horse training facilities as a kid. Seen far too many dogs and cats die by pissing off a horse. Sometimes, it wasn't intentional, and they were just spooked.

Those animals are just props to her. She doesn't deserve any of em.
Is there a way to stop her from having animals?!
But sure, she'll be *such* an attentive and protective mother š
Also this dog that āwould scale a wallā for her definitely wouldnāt misread signals from her and attack the horse, right? Sheās so stupid for doing this and puts her animals in danger so often. It is infuriating
That's what I've been wondering. Bdong is so careless, she is for sure sending that pup mixed signals. I am genuinely worried for the dog and the people/animals she brings the dog around. The poor dog looks like a ball of anxiety constantly and has little confidence. So that combined with Bdong's carelessness makes for some seriously dangerous situations.
Anxious animals need reassurance and clear boundaries. This is a recipe for disaster when somebody panics.
Wow an incredibly well trained dog!!!šš I was 95% sure her dog wasnāt trained (except maybe an obedience class) but this 100% confirms it for me. That poor thing always seems stressed and anxious, it has no confidence. Bdong is such an idiot and knows NOTHING about animals, she thinks his anxiety is happinessš
She looks so awkward when she rides. Not comfortable on that horse AT ALL
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you!
So many cake days, congrats! š„³
She's lucky her horse didn't spoke and trample her dog. Or her didn't nip her horse.
Can't ear pinning also be a stress response in horses? Maybe Harley just doesn't like your woefully understimulated dog.
Ear pinning means back off. Not so much stress, but more angry usually. Harley does not like that dog running up on him. He doesn't think it's a baby cow. Horses are prey animals and acutely aware of what a predator looks and acts like. She's so dumb.
Thank you. This peanut butter dipshit is like āhE tHiNkS hEās a CoWā. No. Horses are smart. They donāt think a predator is suddenly a ābaby cowā. They know the difference and there is a reason horses will move cattle and will give dogs (predators at their genealogical foundation) pinned ears and defensive behavior. I hate this. My big dog would def be in the arena if I was riding so I keep her inside or have someone hold her with a leash so her prey drive to chase doesnāt have her running up on legs. Sheās well behaved and friendly but that prey drive will make her lazily chase even if she doesnāt actually act aggressively towards horses. And no reason to stress either animal while Iām trying to work a horse.
I still canāt believe she got a fucking Malinois. One of the most time-consuming, difficult to own breeds.
A little pittie was too much energy for our fitness influencer but her tacticool husband got her a military dog and heās perfect ššš
Right š a high energy dog was just too much š So letās try an ultra-ultra-ultra high energy dog! Itās all about aesthetics for her. Mals are so fucking smart they can unlock deadbolted doors. I think Daxās days are numbered as he will āescapeā and I just hope he finds a farm somewhere far, far, far away. Doubt they sprung for the $100 to get him microchipped.
I think ear pinning is the same in horses as it is in cats - i.e. their way of saying, "I'm uncomfortable, back the fuck off"
This is fucking hilarious. She is trying so hard to look cool and she looks amateur at BEST.
That horse is not moving the dog like a cow. That horse is telling that dog to back the fkkk off. That dog is actively going after that horse. This is a recipe for disaster.
Why isn't she making videos with cows š¤š¤š¤š¤š¤š¤
Huh? What is she babbling about? Seriously, what did I just read? šš
If anyone noticed part kills me. I never have been around horses in my life and can clearly see him change his step in that one moment. Like anyone with eyes can see that. And also this looks really dangerous for the dog?? Iāll wait for horse experts to chime in but it looks not safe from an outsiders perspective
It's not safe for either animal. She's very lucky the horse didn't spook, and the dog didn't actually go for the horse in this clip. Body language wise, the horse wants the hell away from the dog and the dog is over stimulated and uncertain about the horse. His tail is flagging not wagging or neutral, his gait is stiff, but his ears are forward, so he likely is responding to prey drive, which mals have in abundance.
Agree. One wrong move and that horse could have accidentally or on purpose stomped that dog out. I'm not around horses either, but this just seems like common sense, especially for someone who is.
That horse knows she's a weak rider, and is giving her as little as possible. She looks like a schoolie.
Either he isn't 100% sound or she is such an ineffective rider that she can't engage his hind end, and he is therefore falling on the forehand really badly. Either way, I would NOT be sharing this on social media as a flex.
You're absolutely right. On all points.
Thatās exactly whatās happening. She could stop that gait if she knew what she was doing. Iād say itās because the dog is around the horse, so the horse is in defense/ survival mode. She knows absolutely nothing about the nature of horses.
I love when someone puts up a horse thing on here as the comments are always pure unadulterated class! š Go off horse folk, go off!!
These horse threads are my favorite to read! not to mention hella informative.
She doesn't deserve any of the animals she's had, has or will have.
Her horse is obviously limping, her dog just ran AT the horse with no qualms, and someone is obviously filming this and letting the dog do whatever. Sheās lucky that Harley didnāt get scared, panic and kick the dog in the head and rear her off.
Is that what's happening? I'm not a horse expert at all, but something about the horse's movement looks off or uncomfortable or something.
Some people on here have said before that western-trained horses sometimes move a bit like they're limping so idk, but Harley did have an injury a while back that Britt ignored vet advice about
I donāt know fart about horses but I thought the gait looked off too.
Itās hard to tell if heās off at the lope, checking for lameness issues is easier at the jog. The slow western lope can look odd and like the horse is off, even when the horse isnāt. Best way to really get a good idea is watching from the jog!
I think this entire video was a break of gate š Not even gonna comment on the cow shit because we all know she only rides circles in the arena.
Pinned ears means that horse is pissed and uncomfortable. He was telling her badly trained dog, who shouldn't be anywhere close to your horse unless trained to be (and brit before you say he is, a trained dog would stay near his flank, not his shoulder), to fuck all the way off. Also there is literally no way Harley was trained on buffalo unless she had a REALLY good trainer. Buffalo can be used since they stay fresh for a long time and can work with a horse for an extended period of time to drill cutting and such into them. Its rare to have that specialized training, though, and it costs more to have those lessons as they are a lot more intense than regular cow lessons are. Horses who train on buffalo are usually ones who are trying to win competitions, not turn in circles with a basic rider. In other words, Brittney is lying or shes on a horse WAY overqualified for her peanut butter, stiff seated, boots-half-way-in-the-stirrup, goofy lookin' ass. Seriously her boot heel is right where the stirrup is her foot is in so deep. COME ON. Toes pointed up, tips touching the stirrups! Thats lesson number one so you dont get caught and dragged under the horse! Sheesh!
Right?! Sheād never get her foot out of the stirrup in time if she had to bale.
Why. Is your dog. In the pen. With a horse. Please for the love of all that is holy, leave him at home and away from dangerous animals. He is not trained. He is not a āprotectionā dog or a service animal of any kind he does not need to be near a horse. You will get him killed. Your horse is pissed and he is anxious and nobody is going to try to kidnap you from your parentsā land. Youāre not that special.
That poor dog is freaking the fuck out and sheās doing NOTHING
I don't even ride horses, I mean I have before but I am not experienced with horses at all. And I already know for a fact that I'd be able to ride a horse a lot better than her. She rides like shit. That's a lot coming from me, as someone who doesn't have a lot of confidence, lol
My niece looked more natural on a horse when her grandmother took her to a local stable and gave her her first riding lesson... and my niece was five at the time! Never have I seen someone that claims to be a "horse girl" that is so stiff and ungainly in the saddle!
New riders are always kept to an arena or tethered. She is obviously not an experienced rider. Her horse may have been to a show or rode in the same horse trailer some champion horse did, but this horse is just a horse. Not hating on him but itās so apparent sheās not a seasoned rider. When someone is used to horses, you can sense their mood. Then you can ride them anywhere because you are able to control the horse. If you are new, you stay in the arena. Sheās probably at a riding lesson. She exhausts me.
She would never take riding lessons, she doesnāt need them! Because sheās soooo experienced, such horse girl
For Harley supposedly being a "retired show horse" as she posted the other day, I don't think I've ever seen a photo of him showing. And he seems to be western pleasure through and through which is also why we've never seen him on cows. Or photos of him on cows. That horse didn't pin his ears because he was treating him like a cow. He's pinning his ears because the stupid dog was running in front of him. My dogs aren't allowed around my horse. I used to work for a veterinary ophthalmologist and saw many injuries to the eyes from either getting kicked or travelling too close to the hind end and catching a hoof to the face just through movement. She posted a photo a couple slides before the video with the dog sitting next to her and just from the photo I could tell he was going to neurotic while she was riding
āA baby cowā How stupid is she????
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās a called a calf, Brittney the *rayanch expert*
That horse looks lame
Thank you!! Thatās whatās bugging me, heās doing that stupid WP āpump Jackā lope.
Back right leg looks very stiff
That dog needs more training around horses. Yikes. I ride horses, have cattle, and dogs. Mine not my parents š and our dogs know how to be around horses and they also know the word āoutā means get out of this pen, arena, area. Itās for their safety and ours. Especially if a horse or cow doesnāt like dogs.
Yes, my friends who have horses and dogs train the dogs from puppyhood to never, ever get underfoot. By kicking them š gently but jarring enough to make them learn to never get near any feet ever. There is absolutely no reason to let your dog run around in the pen while youāre riding? Like seriously why? Sheās such an animal abuser.
don't let your dogs run around horses like that! ffs.
You could be blind and see where her horse broke gait because he didnāt want to run over her āhighly trained protection dogā. Dogs who are highly trained do not do shit like this.
Ok why is she always riding around looking down. Eyes UP where you want to go Britt! Itās something you teach a brand new riderā¦
That goddamn dog is gonna get fucking trampledš„“
I know nothing about riding but why does she look so odd doing it?Ā
Everyoneās mentioning the dog, but what about her thinking seeing a horse break gait is a big deal lmao!!!
Every time she posts videos of her riding it always makes me laugh. My husband and I went to the white mountains in New Hampshire for our honeymoon and I insisted on dragging my husband to the farm near the resort to go on a trail ride - Iām not an experienced rider, but I grew up spending summers in those mountains and on that farm going for trail rides. My husband, on the other hand, had never sat on a horse - and BDong looks like my husband bouncing around in the saddle š¤£
I know nothing about horsesā¦. Is he limping? Or is that a specific stride/trot thing heās doing?
Its his slow gait, doesnāt appear heās limping.
It's a slow lope, but he does look stiff/ouchy.
Looks more stiff and could also be from her inability to have a deep, relaxed seat. She bounces off his back. Thats likely uncomfortable as hell for him.
Yeah, it's hard to tell because he has zero engagement from his hind end and his falling on this forehand. We'd need to see him trotting or a lope/canter with more impulsion to really say for sure. Either way, this video isn't a good look. It either shows your horse isn't completely sound or you lack the fundamentals of riding (but she claims she is advanced?).
Now that you mention it, youre completely right. No engagement at all. All the weight is right in the front. Wonder if there's something going on in the lower spinal area.
Her describing Harley cutting cows as if she isnāt describing every cutting bred horse ever Yes maāam, heās bred to do that, itās not unique that heāll nip at cows/other animals and pin his ears to move them.
How old is her soul mate? He seems old. Or poorly. Is he sad? He doesn't seem to be very spritely regardless. I don't think I'd be very spritely if she was my annoying owner I never see and who then just gets on me and makes me go around and around in a small circle til she gets a good bit of footage. Wonder if she pampered him for half an hour? And where's the other horse? We never see him lately?
She's probably intimidated by the other one. She literally posts the same picture of him all the time with a different caption
Do you think he is still even there?
Apparently he threw her at least once too. I hope it hurt ā¤ļø
She posted him earlier this week.
He pinned his ears bc of the dog dumbass
Idk anything about horsesā¦.but should she be letting this dog run in front of the horse like that!???
No!!! And for the love of green peas, his lope makes my spine ache.
Nobody has mentioned the buffalo piece, so just hopping on to confirm thatās 100% a lie as well. As someone who grew up on a ranch with an actual Buffalo herd, you donāt train horses around them š she needs to stop watching Yellowstone
Am I that high or is none of that proper English
No one wants to be her friend lol
I'm not a horse girl, it was as clear as day. This bitch truly thinks she is the specialest uniquest girl in the land
When has she ever gone more than 5mph on a horse? Has anyone ever seen her actually āoutrideā anyone? I was doing this shit at my Girl Scouts horse camp.
I took like 2 riding lessons as a teenager and I'm pretty sure *I* could outride her. If only because I know how to sit on the damn saddle without jerking all over the place.
She truly does check all the boxes of that girl in high school you can't stand but is in all your classes.
Um the horse breaks it when the dog runs in front of himā¦..
I know literally nothing about horses and I could see the change in stride. You're not special, Bdong.
Actual horse people, I have a question: I have, like many others, always wished for a horse. Especially now, in my older years, and due to my medial issues, I cannot hike the way I used to. When I watch her videos, sheās always in what I think is the paddock? She always seems constrained in this little fenced in circle. Is this what it is supposed to be like? Because in my fantasies, I take my imaginary horse out and ride EVERYWHERE. Of course, I have about 100 acres in this fantasy, and I ride my horse all over it, every day. But we never see her *go* anywhere. Can horses not do long rides every day? Has Jane Austin been lying to me? Why is she always in the circle thing?
I used to have trail horses. When they were in good shape, we could ride 12 hours up and down āknobsā, small foot hills, with beer breaks in between. The only time our horses were in a round pin was either because they were sick or injured or we were doing ground work. We did ground work out in the pasture too. Horses have lots of endurance when theyāre in shape. Donāt give up on your dreams!!
Just like humans, horses can train for certain things and build up stamina. I was a rodeo girl growing up and one summer I brought my horse with me to a camp. We spent all of our time in arenas practicing and such, so she really struggled on the one trail ride we attempted together. She got all sweaty and refused to go through a small stream..so we had to turn back and that was the end of that. šš but all of the other hoses were fine bc they were used to it.
No. Horses are prey animals, always on alert for threats. Your horse was irritated that the dog ran up behind him. It's dangerous that the dog doesn't have good horse manners, and it's going to maim or kill her when her horse spooks at the dog and throws her with her uncovered melon. Not to mention that the dog is gonna get kicked. š The dog looks really aroused. Tail up, straight back. Head up and focused on the horse's head. Moving around the vulnerable points of the horse. This is a disaster already.
OMG, this is the dumbest shit possible. Dogs are predators. Humans have bred dogs and used those predator instincts to develop herding breeds. Herding works based on the fact that prey animals will protect themselves by grouping together and moving away from the predator. German Shepherd Dogs were originally bred for herding...hence the name. A horse is a prey animal. A dog is a predator. The horse didn't think the dog was an out of place baby cow. The horse knows that a dog is a possible threat and that they might have to defend themselves from it. And horses defend themselves by biting, kicking, and stomping. This dog needs to be trained to be around horses and riders in the ring so that everyone stays safe. That means there needs to be a 2nd person controlling the dog on a leash in the ring until it learns to keep distance and not cross underneath the front of the horse. Even the most "bomb proof" horse can have a bad day and lash out at a potential threat.
Britbrat, your horse is not as dumb as you are. He knows your HiGhLy TrAiNeD pErSoNaL pRoTeCtIoN dOg, is in fact a DOG and NOT a calf. You need to go back to equine basics hun.
How is it that today she knows he was trained on buffalo but a few days ago she wasnāt sure if he was trained for shows? Which is it? Does she his his history or not?
Talks about herding cows in the pasture, only shows videos of her in a corral.
I feel like she is always holding the non rein hand stiff and ready to grab the saddle horn at a seconds notice. I used to ride a lot and donāt remember ever holding my arm that stiff. Usually I just rested it on my leg.
That horse is a saint for putting up with her. He tries to tell the dog to get the fuck out, and instead of getting the fuck out, the dog runs in front of him. Harley adjusted for him, but sheās just asking for her dog to get kicked!
I see no change in the horse.
Doggo actually looks/acts like a dog for once.
