Accepting each other?


Why is it so difficult in the equine world to accept each other? I think it's one of those sports with most hatred and jealousy involved, or it's at least my experience. Why is it so hard to accept we not all are alike? It's so broad a sport with many niche so you can't expect everyone to agree but you should still have a mutual respect for each other. Or am I wrong?

It may well be I am very much in favor of bitless riding but I still accept all those who ride their horses with a bit in their mouth. As long as the horse is treated and ridden properly, it shouldn't be a problem.

Think how much we actually could achieve without all that hatred? I think it stops many on their way up. I often sit and think to myself  if this industry is for me. I hate so much the drama and jealousy but it will probably never change. But think twice before you talk bad about other riders, or something similar. Remember to look inwards nobody is perfect and we should all respect each other :-)
