Unhappy at Christmas Time

I wasn't going to blog about this but was praying for the girl last night and this morning.  She must be terribly unhappy.  On the way home from church last night I got a Facebook message from a lady that also has a beautiful Friesian stallion only this one is RED. He is gorgeous and we were thrilled when she was willing to bring him to the IL Horse Fair.  Her horse was also attacked as not having quality but just so you know what it is that the people are making derogatory comments about, below is Laura's rare red Friesian stallion Redman

Beautiful color and wonderful conformation. What could be the reason to criticize this horse or his owner?  Laura, his owner works very hard to produce the very best foals possible and she has done it ALL BY HERSELF. She had a dream and has worked hard to make this dream come true. She provides well for her horses and is willing to share them.
Below is what she sent by messenger:
Hey my friend I am just letting you know this chick is being hateful about you on Facebook here is what posted back there was way to many to comments. This chick is the one that started it.
I read through some of the comments and just had to chuckle.  The person that started the thread is actually from Tremont, is young and probably pretty troubled but the gist of what she wrote was how horrible the riders are at Horsemeister and what cheap tack we use.  She also (I don't know this for sure as I am not a part of the group she was posting on, but was told) used the pictures I had posted.

IF the girl from Tremont was complaining about the cheap tack used on Galena I will just tell you that surcingle is a professional vaulting surcingle and cost well over a thousand dollars.  A surcingle is not like a saddle and it is much harder to sit a buck without stirrups so no one could criticize Karin's horsemanship as she controls Galena. Hard to imagine being so unhappy during the Christmas season. 

Below is the video showing the Horrible Horsemanship.

Well my answer to Laura was this: "Oh how funny. She is from Tremont, IL. It's ok, she is right about how not well schooled the riders are.  We let people ride that don't really know how.  We just make sure the horses are well enough trained that they don't fall off.

Our goal here at Horsemeister,  besides producing quality foals and having happy customers, is to promote these horses and give people a chance to show who would NEVER have the opportunity otherwise.  These riders haven't had expensive lessons, most don't own their own horse or have their own tack BUT did you notice NOT a SINGLE one FELL OFF! Disclaimer Nolan fell off of Eliza on purpose in the video above when he was "killed" by the sword.  Now not all of the horses in that video are well trained, this was Rosalie's very first time showing and she was just a 3 year old. Rhoda was willing to take her for the experience but if you have ever been to the IL Horse Fair it is obvious the horses are happy and the riders are having a great time. 

I will continue to pray for Audrey and pray she finds peace and most of all finds the One she needs the most, the Lord Jesus who loves her so much he died for her.
