This isn't just an ufortunate photo, she has a lot of these moments.



I hate the long hair with the hat!

And look at that tail! That horse is irritated, and no wonder - she's gouging him with her spur.

How much time does it take her to put on her makeup in the am?

This is part of what's wrong with dressage these days...celebrity nonsense sending the wrong message.

Ever heard of a hairnet? Honestly my hair is chin length and I show in a hair net.

Geez, I never thought I'd sound like a stuffy, prudish dressage queen!

Oh - and I enjoy these little celebrity diversions. Keep posting! :)

Ick. 'Nough said.

I don't even want to give her the credit for rollkur. That's just BAD riding.

One day, one horse will call her bluff. Or she'll find something else that gets her more attention and just move along...

wow just wow people.

Heaven forbid someone with money who may not be an amazing rider try out the sport of dressage.

Maybe she makes mistaktes, maybe she isn't polished, but at least she tries and she admits she isn't the best.

You are all saying you are all better riders than her?

I just don't get why people have to hate on others, who cares!

Hi Veronica,

I'm not sure this rises to the level of hate. I don't see a whole lot to admire here...

What she's doing with her hands is having a terrible effect on the horse's hind legs. Look at them: almost straight. He's carrying no weight behind. If you can't ride the horse in collection, you shouldn't be riding in a double bridle.

Her boots are too short also (at least in the lower picture). Yes, tall boots are uncomfortable but short boots look silly.
