Ashley Harrison’s husband was really giving me the ‘ick’ in her recent vlogs where he was saying about people might want to share their birth stories and how her experience might help someone else. I’m sure he was being very sweet and genuine but it really creeped me out 😂
If Ashley had said it I think it would have been fine, but even she looked a bit embarrased 🤣

I found the last couple of videos quite an uncomfortable watch to be honest, he seemed very dismissive of her at times and talked over her or redirected what she was saying quite a few times. Also I’m sure he had good intentions while she was riding but seems to be telling her what she should or shouldn’t be doing, rather than letting her find her bearings and what she was comfortable with.

I don’t love this trend of partners becoming involved in the vlogs all the time, I’ve noticed no horse Han droning on about her new ‘groom’ so I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before there’s a hard launch there
 
I have watched the Matt and Jesse property vlog and eagerly await until we can spoil.

On Meg, I imagine the safari holidays are seasonal due to rainy season and are planned for when the trips can run. I took miss the boring relatable vlogs, the fitness regime to get the weight off her blimp horses/ponies and youngster ground work.

On free spirit equestrian, I do like her aqha dodger and am glad to see an older horse being valued. Eager for the bringing into work vlogs. I know she may not be everyones cup of tea, but I really like her ethos.

As a content creator she’s gotten lazy, it’s all about the adverts and vlogs with the lowest common denominator, I.e. Bear bucking, Rich being a dick, her and Hannah “bantering” etc, which I get, she’s earning the money while she can, but her horses and the variety are content heaven, yet people with only one or two are doing a way better job than she is.

This is a very good point. She has so many horses and so little variation

I think a lot of them were taken on the same day!
Did she not have another horse previously? She gives mean girl energy.

I think she had an older horse - might be wrong but I seem to think he was kept with Laura Collett (probs spelt that wrong - i am not going to google to check:ROFLMAO:)


Jade's life just is not real. I dont look that imacculate when i compete, let alone to hack around the arena.

And her husband gives me the major ICK!

I’m so over the Holland and Cooper/Fairfax Favour cult. Most of the H&C stuff is overpriced polyester, cheaply made poor quality marketed as luxury. Both companies have a culty feel selling to middle aged women with no sense of individual style. Some of the stuff looks like tablecloths 😳
 
Can someone watch the first episode of All Stars please and report back. The very thought of Meg and Tina being in charge fills me with dread and already my ears are hurting at the very thought of it

Just got back from hospital and sat with a bag of frozen peas on my knee and the first thing on YT is the first episode! Usual mix of people, only one I recognise is Fifi, the girl with all the Welsh ponies and who just bought an eventer, although I don’t think she’s brought that one as I don’t think it was Welsh. I’m less bothered by Meg than Tina, but I also dislike Pammy, she just enjoys being a prick to people and that’s not my thing.

hahahah we havea regular customer where I work, mid 50's, very full of herself, wont acknowledge the women, thrusts her crotch at the men whilst talking to them.
She cam in today
H&C Biker jeans
FF bag
FF boots
HC polo Neck
HC Gillet

She looked like an utter nobber.

She wears the same thing eacht ime we see her - convinced its her 'uniform' that she believes elevates her status.

That said, I do have two FF bags and I love them, they are used and abused and not kept for show

Also JHC goes on and on about her “British” brand but most of it is made cheaply overseas. I flat out refuse to buy anything HC because I’ve heard the quality is poor, customer service non-existent and they are pretty size-ist as well. I do have some F&F boots which are nice if somewhat overpriced.

I own a few Holland Cooper things. I really like them. I’ve met Jade a few times early on, she used to man her own stalls at Burghley/Badminton etc and she seemed nice enough.

You’ve probably been quite selective in the sea of cheap polyester and dish rag suits ❤️. There are a few nice bits I’ll admit but these middle aged women kitted out in all head to toe H&C and FF is weird I think.

Oh my days did not have Flo Carter selling Atty on my bingo card for today. Hope she’s ok as she loved that horse

I know! Kind of came out of nowhere tbh. But what a sensible and mature decision from someone so young. And lovely for him to have gone to the same people who have Towie. I have no doubt they’ll let her visit and have a ride on him from time to time.

I’ve always thought him an odd looking horse in how he’s put together (quite chunky in places) but there’s no doubting the talent of that horse. He’s a superstar!

Don’t own a stitch of HC. I have a couple of pairs of FF shoes which were bought as Christmas gifts but absolutely cripple me so I don’t wear them but I do love my FF bag.
I feel like a lot of these brands have really let their standards slip - le mieux being anoth one

Le Mieux has absolutely saturated the market. Their saddlecloths no longer fit my horse as they’ve made them much shorter and he’s deep barrelled. My most local tack shop is coming down with the stuff, they have their entire range and a bit of Ariat and that’s pretty much it for day to day riding clothes! And yet people wonder why people turn to online shopping.
