Any other parents finding Harlow white very annoying

[Coppercreek1]

DD has 2 ponies and is big into watching equestrian YouTubers.

But I can't help but finding Harlow very annoying and spoilt. Even DD will now only watch her if nothing new to watch from the others.

She tried to say hello to her when she was doing the pony racing on her Shetland at one of the local shows and she was very dismissive...much prefer this esme who seems to show a lot of the reality of having horses, mucking out and poo picking etc herself rathr than being on a posh livery where they tack your pony up for you!

Not to mention the posting videos from luxury holidays abroad.

DD is a similar age and has her old pony plus a new project pony both on DIY and struggles to relate to her at all!

Really? That's a shame - I saw one video of her where her balance looked really good. But since she's only 7 it's her parents / instructors fault surely?

I have watched a few videos of jumping with ivy and I couldn't see one where the stallion looked in pain?
I do have an issue with children being so prominent on social media though. If you read some of the comments on the videos they are sometimes nasty, sometimes creepy and no child should have to deal with that. I really think that it will become illegal at some point in the future. It should anyway.

I agree - it can't be good for their mental wellbeing.

The Stables look fab but there is bugger all ventilation in those stables. It's really not going to be a healthy environment for them. I don't get why they put windows in. Surely having grills would have been better or knocking through and putting stable doors in.
Poor ponies won't even be able to see over the doors!
Is all for the aesthetics and not about what's good for their ponies at all!

The parent company of Champion and Toggi are no longer using child influencers (under 18s) in any of their marketing. In future they’ll use child models and stick to the regulations surrounding their use. I hope plenty of other brands follow their lead.
