Some housekeeping. Again.
I’m generally pretty happy to chat with anybody who wants to talk horses. I keep some odd hours, i work long days and will get back to you when I can.
Here’s a handy list of messages I’m usually happy to get:
✅ Updates on former sales horses
✅ Updates on what horses I’ve started are up to as their careers move along
✅ Requests to list horses
✅ Questions about a horse I’ve had in the past
✅Questions about a horse I currently have or updates on your horse
✅ Sales inquiries
✅ Training questions (within reason. If it’s excessive you’re getting billed)
✅ Questions about the industry in general, looking into your new horse’s connections, requests to decode tattoos
✅ Inquiries about my training availability and program
Messages I’m not likely to answer that are not welcome:
❌ Hitting on me, creepy pickup lines in response to a sales ad or when inquiring about horse training (no you aren’t getting my snapchat)
❌ Thinly veiled vague threats (like why tho??)
❌ Wanting to talk to me for hours about absolutely nothing and wasting both of our time when I don’t even know you
❌ Insisting I speak to you and being weird and pushy with it and not telling me why you want to talk to me so badly when you’re not a client and generally being super weird and creepy about it
❌ Continuing to contact me just to be a jerk when you’ve been told to stop
❌ Inappropriate and ‘none ya business’ questions about my personal life- your horses are looked after and worked, you do not need to know what I’m up to at 10pm on a Wednesday night (sleeping, probably, so I can get up at the ass crack of dawn to ride horses before work)
I don’t block people because I want to know if you’re going to get crazy and weird about it and crazy tends to be loud.
Let’s all be normal with it please and thanks because some of you sure seem to struggle with that. I’m just a horse trainer and tbh I don’t want to know why some of you are like this. Y’all know who you are, and I have zero problems telling people when they’re out of line.
Huge thanks to all who are normal with it, respect my time, and are awesome to deal with, I appreciate you and you are why i keep training! ✌🏻
