Dude, horse people are crazy I swear. One time, I had a random horse rider on my land. I had a dog with me that would attack predators/ large animals. A random horse person decided to use our trail and approach us. I grabbed my dog (100+ lb) and held her with me, hoping they would pass. We have clear fence lines, so it wasn't an accident. I hid the dog from the horses vision.

The horse rider had the fucking gaul , after showing up on MY land to say "your dog is scaring my horse, can you please stand up straight and act more approachable?". Mother fucker I'm not approachable at all right now. Take your horse home, and fuck off. They TRIED to make it a habit. I told them they could come back if they want to, but they're going to get bucked off. They haven't come back much. I get the idea, the horses are easily scared. You need to be careful around them. DON'T BRING THEM TO A RANDOM PERSONS RANCH AND COMPLAIN.

Horse people are generally less used to rejection and being told no then the regular, average trail enjoyer

[–] Soapbox@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

Ugh, horse people...

I had a similar experience while mountain biking on a shared use trail that was a former railroad. I could see the group of riders coming towards me for like half a mile, and knew I would need to stop to let them pass, as that's the yield order for the trail rules.

The leader of the horse people had the gall to start screaming at me to stop from 1/4 mile away. I had already started slowing down in preparation, but I didn't come to a stop until they were more like 100 yards away. As they passed, she chewed me out for not stopping earlier, she apparently thought I was supposed to stop half a mile away or something and wait 10 minutes for them to leisurely trot past me.

Fuck horse people. If your horses are that skittish around people and bikes, then they don't belong in public.

How did you know he was a Gaul? Was it the superior cavalry?

Of course they had a Gaul?? They're a horse person.

Lost the perfect opportunity to say, 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on'.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Meatballs 2 was not a great movie but PeeWee was in it. He said this to the other camp leader. He flipped the guy the bird then held it horizontally and pushes it towards him. The guy ignores him and walks away. Minutes later, he comes back outside and sees PeeWee do it again. The guy holds up the finger and says "I know what this means, but what's this?" horizontal bird.

That's when PeeWee explains. Guy grabs him by the face and shoves him off camera.

The nerve of some people, to be where they shouldn't and then tell you how to act. I've ran into weirdly entitled horse people several times on hiking trails. For whatever reason horses have right of way over hikers and I've had so many horse people exercise that when it's been bad for me (and them). One lady tried to get me to stand by the edge instead of the mountainside because drops made her horse nervous. Like motherfucker, this whole trail is drops. Walk your horse if you brought the wrong one for the job. I'm not falling 200 ft so you can pretend to be a cowboy. Also, trudging through horseshit sucks. /rant

This is basically how the USA started.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If its their land, man, I get it. Horses are super skidish. If its a private horse trail, they have the right of way. If they're anywhere off that trail, they're just being entitled.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

I'm sure private horse trails exist but I'm talking about public land where horses do have the right of way. The right of way goes Horse-pedestrian-bike. Sometimes people will cede their right of way, as to not force other trail users into dangerous positions. Trail riders almost never do. Mule and horsepackers often will, just not usually the purely recreational riders. I'm not saying anyone is doing anything illegal, but at the same time we shouldn't let the law get in the way of morality. Well trained horses aren't skittish. Well trained dogs aren't reactive. Well trained animals are rarely the problem and it's not like I'm going to blame horses for their riders' lack of control.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's not just horse people, snowmobilers, bicyclists, hell, I had a guy just wander into my yard through the 6 ft privacy fence because his cheapo drone crashed in my yard, maybe. Fucking metal detectorists. I keep telling them it's illegal to dig in public places in this state and every single time, they argue with me and I have to threaten to call the cops before they fuck off. I even caught one in the boulevard in front of my house. Like WTF do you expect to find there? Random bolts that fall off cars? Nobody walks there, dude. Ever.

Is this why I’m afraid of my gf?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I heard of a pastor in my town once say that "Satan lands a 747 of sin on exposed skin". Conceptually I think I just kind of like the way his brain worked, misogyny aside. Also according to him this means Boeing built at least one custom plane for Hell and that kind of makes sense.

God obliterating my wife with a jumbo jet after she wore shorts to the family bbq

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Well i dont really judge kinks usually but god himself? Isnt that a bit too far?

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 12 points 3 days ago

[–] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ive known girls shaving their pubic hair into a landing strip, and on further reflection it makes total sense why satan, and i, were so interested in them.

Yes, well, it’s very important to keep all the horses at the waterpark calm.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey, last time I was at a water park a woman's top popped off at the bottom of a slide and half of us died getting trampled by the nearby horses.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I hate it when I get trampled by horses and die.

Given that we still have stupid pointy shoes that fuck up our feet because they made horse riding with stirrups easier forever ago, I fully believe this is a valid possibility.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago (5 children)

Pointy shoes continue to make horse riding easier. Source: me with sore ribs because my rubber boot got hung up the other day.

Will somebody please think of the horses?!

I don't really like seeing anyone's nipples in public. But then, I also understand the difference between my personal preferences and need for legislation.

[–] moriquende@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

I'm not going to lie and pretend that I don't enjoy seeing boobies
