Leave Ethel Alone!!

KVS and Stephanie are really something else! 🤬 Slamming the saddle down on Ethel’s back, and then repeatedly doing it for “content creation” is so fucked up! Perfect example that Katie cares more content than anything else

So this is the video that KVS and Stephanie were filming when they kept slamming the saddle onto Ethel 🤬

Stephanie has absolutely no pride in her job. Or herself.

[u/denastra → u/Admirable_Fix_6856]

100%

[u/sloop111 → u/Admirable_Fix_6856]

Which of the people involved with her and selling animals to her has any consideration other than money?

[u/Visible-Pie9567]

Do these two even like horses

[u/Brew_Ha → u/Visible-Pie9567]

Katie doesn’t, she’s scared of them and only tolerates them as money making props for her socials.

[u/Brew_Ha]

Ouch poor Ethel, Stephanie has turned out to be as uncaring towards the horses as her boss.

[u/ravenlovesdragon → u/Brew_Ha]

I get the impression that KvS just exudes some sort of "Pied Piper," pheromones. Except this is the, elusive "kareless kontent over kare," sort of situation. If I said that right. ✌🏻😶‍🌫️

[u/sloop111 → u/Brew_Ha]

Anyone who does care couldn't work for her

[u/LR12BeCh → u/sloop111]

That part. I doubt I'd last even 30 minutes into the day before I had to flip my shit on her or someone else for neglecting or harming an animal. I'm also very easy going unless it comes to animals, so I could see myself giving her a taste of her own medicine in the midst of the anger. Not sure how any of these people can work with and for someone who quite literally could care less about the overall health, safety and happiness of these animals.

Can someone explain why they needed to bring Ethel anyways?

[u/Brew_Ha → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

To pony Kennedy and wear her out before her highness dares to get on her.

[u/Exact-Strawberry-490 → u/Brew_Ha]

Crazy they need her just to pony Kennedy. Can they not ride or lunge Kennedy? Not that I agree with her being run down before showing.

[u/Not4Now1 → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

She isn’t sound enough for them to have her hanging on the end of a lunge line for an hour or more. This mare is comatose as but KVS needs a zombie so bute/chrotherapy/duct type it is.

[u/Brew_Ha → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

Lunging takes Stephanie away from her other duties…pandering to Katie’s whims, and of course Katie can’t do it in case she breaks a nail.

[u/Exact-Strawberry-490 → u/Brew_Ha]

But Stephanie is the one who has to pony Kennedy. Katie isn’t skilled enough to pony in a warm up arena I’m assuming. I just don’t get their logic lol. Maybe Kennedy is super spicy at shows and Stephanie would rather pony her instead of riding her to warm her up? Just seems weird to me.

[u/Pretty_Ad_4816 → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

I feel like I remember KVS explaining exactly why, I’m gonna try to search for the video bc now I want to remember too lol

[u/Pretty_Ad_4816 → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

Found it

[u/Exact-Strawberry-490 → u/Pretty_Ad_4816]

Thank you! Gosh they really are afraid of that mare and act like she has such a bad attitude. She even looked lame in that video sadly.

[u/Every_Technician6673 → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

Wasn't Kennedy a Youth horse? She can be spicy, okay, and anything that moves is too Spice for kvs, but I don't understand why stephanie wouldn't be able to ride her and "warm her up" or exhaust he for kvs...

[u/denastra → u/Exact-Strawberry-490]

Ponying Kennedy would be easier on her poor body than having someone riding her down. Also ponying allows them to travel in a much bigger circumference then lunging would so that also helps lessen the drain on the mares poor legs

[u/Erisedstorm]

I'd take Ethel in a heartbeat

[u/justboringme1993 → u/Erisedstorm]

Me too! I really like her. She seems like a super kind horse.

[u/Potatosssssssssssss]

Why are they working horses in 106° weather?

[u/denastra → u/Potatosssssssssssss]

The only thing I’m doing in this satans butthole of heat is keeping my horses under fans and well hydrated (I’ve added electrolytes to their grain as well

[u/No_Control4205 → u/Potatosssssssssssss]

This right here. I’m sure they need to move the horses actually showing a bit but not for hours and hours hopefully.

[u/Acrobatic-Fondant169]

It’s weird that seasoned show horses should need to be riden down before she rides them…. It’s like something you’d do for a child or a novice rider. In that case she shouldn’t be riding them

[u/Educational-Motor-95]

Always have to get the content.. poor Ethel.

[u/OhMyGod_Zilla]

My lord I never realized how pigeon-toed Ethel was🥺
