That's terrible!
by: Mary Ashley

Hi! I'm Mary! Just ignore them. And eventually they will stop. I'm the youngest in my family. I've always been picked on and bossed around. And I've been told I'm an idiot, that I'm stupid, and ugly. So I know how poor Holly feels.

God made all horses beautiful for their own time. Maybe your friends are just jealous. So ignore them and say you won't talk to them or ride with them or play with them until they stop picking on Holly.

If that doesn't work, then just fight back. But be kind. But also defend your horse and yourself. Don't give them another reason to do what they're doing. Sometimes what I do is I recite bible verses to people who are picking on me. That makes me feel a whole lot better! So try that maybe.

I saw the pictures of Holly up the top. He/she is beautiful! He/she is not fat, or skinny. He's perfect.

Good luck!

Don't listen to them!
by: HorseGirl

Your horse is gorgeous! They are probably jealous of your horse and your saddle so try to ignore them. I know that it isn't very easy at all but just remember that your horse is super gorgeous! And your saddle sounds awesome! They are probably jealous of your saddle even more than you think because it sounds like it is a beautiful saddle!

be bothered by it
by: simone

I think Holly is beautiful! If those meanies keep talking about her like that, you should talk to the barn manager, owner, or instructor. If they don't care, tell your parents. If nothing changes even after that, it might be time to move Holly to another barn, but only as a last resort. Make sure the mean people know that they are the reason you're leaving.

Don't Listen to Them!
by: Sally

In my opinion, all horses and ponies are beautiful. Your horse Holly looks so cute! Next time they say something like that about her, tell them to leave you alone or just tell them that she's your horse and it doesn't matter how they see her. It matters how you see her.

I know what to do!
by: Anonymous

Next time they talk about Holly that way just ignore them. I know that it is not easy but they are probably just jealous of Holly. If you keep ignoring them they will stop. But just next time they are mean remember that it is not true! And also remember that all of us here are with you. And just think about how much Holly means to you. It really does not matter about how a horse looks if it has a really pretty inside. But just remember I am with you because it has happened to me before!

So, So, So, So Sweet, Adorable, Pretty, Cute and Beatiful!
by: #somean#sopretty

Your horse is the most beautiful horse I've ever seen. She's not fat, skinny or ugly at all! I bet those ******* are just jealous because your horse is more beautiful and possibly more athletic and stronger then their horses. And the way you describe your saddle it sounds like it's really good quality.

You need to stand up for yourself. If I was you I would say "Are you kidding me? No true horse lover would insult a horse like that, especially not one as pretty as Holly. If you have a problem with her or us as a pair you should tell me nicely or keep it to yourself. You have no right to be rude to me and my horse, and you better stop or you will be sorry."

Then you need to do something really dramatic like galloping away or dismissing her with a wave of your hand for good measure.

Your horse is beautiful (and I'm really jealous)!

Holly is drop dead gorgeous. If I had a horse like that I wouldn't care what anyone says about her. I know what skinny and fat horses look like on account of having rescued 3 horses and let me just tell you right now your horse looks perfect. Block them out of your head, keep your heels down, chin up, and have fun!

The outside doesn't matter
by: EmmaLovesSiracco

They're probably jealous that you had a horse before them. Now they're just trying to get a rise out of you so you'll get jealous of them. Don't pay any attention to them! Tell an adult at your barn (the owner, your trainer etc.)

Also, the outside of your horse doesn't matter (even though she's adorable), she seems like a very sweet pony! Good luck to you two!

P.S. Did I mention she's adorable???

by: Hoofprints in the Clouds

I just have to say, YOU GO GURL!!! I wouldn't have had the courage to stand up to those girls.

It's not the outside of the horse that matters anyway. It's their personality! But I'm positive your horse is BEAUTIFUL!

Good luck with those nasty girls!

Ignore them
by: Anonymous

OMG! I know what you are dealing with and it stinks! Just ignore them and find barn friends that like you for you and your horse for your horse. Leave the mean girls behind. Soon they will forget about how mean they were. Who knows, maybe you guys could be friends again!

Woah!
by: SoonBeRiding

Wow those girls sound mean.

I say take a deep breath, then the next time they say mean stuff, tell them how you feel. She might knock it off.

If she does not stop, TELL YOUR MOM or DAD, this is called bullying and it's not good and if you have to, tell her mom or dad.

If you don't know her parents well then try to bring your mom or dad along too.

By the way your horse is so pretty! All horses are. Though I would say that about any horse :)

So good luck and many blessings!

Awesome
by: Horselover13

Your horse sounds awesome. But those girls are real mean! They probably feel sad that they need to make you feel sad. I say that you tell the barn owner and tell the girls' parents. If the girls parents are not approachable then tell your parents and ask them to talk to their parents.

by: Macy

Awesome horse, I may know what is going on, lots of girls get jealous of people's horses. So to make themselves feel better they make fun of your horse! And your horse is certainly not fat or skinny, he/she is in perfect shape! And you have to remember God made horses all different just like humans. Try to just forget about what the girls' said, but if anything gets out of hand I suggest telling an adult who will take care of it the easy way!

Hey... People were talking about my horse badly and saying mean things about him too. Not as bad as this though. I just ignored them. Every horse is going to be different from someone else's.

I have a quarter horse and they always have bigger builds... Its just the way they were made.. People were calling him fat and pudgy.... I just ignored them. He was in perfect condition.

People are just jealous. So are these girls. Your horse is adorable. And I'm jealous of her! But I won't say mean things because I'm happy for you that you have a great horse! Let people say what they want. Just ignore them.

My advice
by: Jordan

I detest those girls!!!!! I wanna storm up to them and say, "What makes you think that? Why do you ride? You insulted Holly, who is COMPLETELY AWWW-DORABLE. And gold, not fake plastic, riders will never ever imagine insulting a horse like that! You're a bully!!"

Sorry, too dramatic? Anyway, some girls are just nasty. Why not say, "Whaaat? The horse of yours is nice, and I was trying to make mine look like yours! Maybe I'm not an expert at that, any advice of yours?

No!
by: AHorseLovingGirl

Just ignore them...really! Just ignore them! Don't fight them but show them love and be nice in return. And also remember, they obviously aren't horse crazy!! No horse crazy girl would say that about horses! They are not riding for horses. They are riding for who knows what! Just not for horses.

Hope this helped! Oh! And here's a tip! Just remember this when you are angry with someone and want revenge, to have the last word... etc. Think of this: WWJD. That stands for What Would Jesus Do?! Just think. Would Jesus get back at them? I don't think that He would completely ignore them either. He would be nice to them and show love towards them. So ALWAYS remember: WWJD! (That goes towards everyone here! Everyone needs to know this!) ;)

What are they thinking?
by: Eventer at heart

OMG! I have no idea what those girls are thinking! From those photos your horse is amazing! She looks so cute and adorable! Trust me, my horse is a fat little pony that is fluffy and has an enormous mane that I can never brush but I still love him and that's all that matters! If you love Holly and know that she is really beautiful (which she definitely is) then it doesn't matter! Those girls are probably just jealous of you, especially the one who loved her but then you bought her, so just ignore them. Whenever they make fun of her just think of how much you love her and how lucky you are to have a horse and who cares!

It doesn't mater what they think. All horses are beautiful. If you really want to drive them insane, compliment their horses/tack. Pay back evil for good. Trust me, it works. You are very lucky to even have a horse. (P.S. Your horse is gorgeous!)

You know what?
by: Crazyhorselover

You know what, I can not believe they said that to YOUR horse!!!! When I first saw your pic of your horse I thought that horse is sooo beautiful!! And it's true!! Are they blind or what? That girl who fell off your horse is not a good rider, she should've got back on the horse and not blamed it on your horse!!!! Those girls are unbelievable, don't know anything about tack, I could go on FOREVER!!! I love how you braided your horse/pony's mane/tail today. Your horse is beautiful and you look awesome on her!!!! I ride too!!!!

Nothing wrong with Holly
by: Jumper

There is nothing wrong with Holly. If your "Friend" think that there is just because she fell off, she has no horse knowledge. It isn't the horse to blame when you fall off. Did you tell her that? And Holly is very pretty and VERY CUTE. They might all be jealous? I don't know, but they don't sound like very good friends to me. And maybe you should just try to stay away from them. Thats all i have to say.

I hate it when that happens! I just don't get brave enough to say that. I used to go to a stable where there were tons of Appaloosa and American paints, and other gorgeous horses. The horse I rode was just brown, they made fun the instructor hated me. I gave them 3 chances like you should do with a bully and the fourth time I told the instructor and my Mom. They all were banned for 3 lessons. My advice: give them 3 chances then on the fourth time, tell your instructor and parent.

Well, here's what I can say
by: Sarah

There's a fine line between teasing and insulting. Before confronting the BM make sure that they aren't really just trying to work you up or are saying things and not understanding how much it really does affect you. I have a group of friends who were like that. They'd tease me a lot because that is what friends do. But it got extreme and I started feeling depressed about myself. I'd kindly ask them to stop but they didn't get it. Eventually, I explained how it had affected me greatly and then they stopped. The thing is, words are strong. After a while you will literally start believing they're true.
Instead of losing your temper go to her and tell her to knock it off. Tell her how it really upsets you and affects you and your horse's riding experience. Maybe she'll knock it off. Even then if she doesn't, I understand how you feel. But she's obviously jealous or still has a grudge against the horse. Ignore her-she's trying to get a reaction out of you because she's mad about her own life so don't give it to her. And tell the BM. Your horse is amazing and was created to be the way it was-all horses are beautiful.
I hope this helped!

u need new freinds
by: Ab

some evil person calling your gorgeous horse ugly won't make theirs any prettier, it makes them uglier. They are just a bunch of mean bullies i don't care what they say and you shouldn't either. Your horse is pretty! As a matter of fact, I think that they are jealous because they must have heard somebody talking about it. Or they may have compared them.

P.S: those people are NOT your friends. Friends are people who like each other and are nice to each other and DON'T CRITICIZE OR ENVY ONE ANOTHER THINGS!!! in other words, u need new friends. They won't be hard to find and by the looks of how you are, i would want to be your REAL friend.

Jealousy everywhere!
by: Anonymous

Ugh, I've been in your situation before. My so called "friend" was always on my case saying my dogs were ugly (she knows how much I love them). Once she said "your dogs are really ugly", so I lost it and said "you're no prize either!", she shut up then. Just know that people, for God knows what reason, find pleasure in bringing others down, because they're not happy with themselves. Just hold your head up high and don't let their words bother you. Your horse is stunning and they're just jealous. "They either want to kiss you, kill you or be you" ;)

Meanies
by: GoldenPiper

Bullies
by: Unicorn

At least there is one comfort for you in this situation - these mean girls' comments don't hurt Holly. She doesn't care what they say!
But I can understand very well how much their cruel words must hurt you. Some people will back off once you stand up to them, and some will get bored and leave you alone if you ignore them, which could be worth a try; but you get the odd person who just keeps on for their own shallow satisfaction. There are plenty of motivations for their actions - jealousy, old grudges - but none of those make them acceptable.
Speaking to the barn owner or another trustworthy person whom you and the other girls respect would probably be your best course of action. The girls need to learn that treating people that way isn't acceptable, and if they don't listen to you, they might listen to someone else.
Once they stop making fun of Holly, even if they don't apologise, just forgive them and treat them with as much grace as you would like to be treated. Holding grudges and keeping unforgiveness just poisons one's happiness.
Also, don't believe them! Holly is your pony. Even if she isn't purebred or pedigreed or the conformation queen of the world, she's Holly. It doesn't matter if she's fat or skinny or whatever. Anyway, in the pics, she looks like a perfectly good, sound, pretty pony to me. You're not asking her to do anything she's unsuited to. You're just asking her to be your pony Holly, and for that role, she is 100% perfect. And you can tell them that.
