Three years of loving Buggy Boo already!

If my post resonated with you, please consider also following Cavaliere Couture 's inspirational content. ❤️

I’ve been thinking a little bit about the discourse surrounding my latest few posts here on my brand page. And I’d like to come up with some eloquent, flowery quote like I usually post here, but all I keep coming back to is this:

𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬, 𝐲’𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

I’ve spent the last couple of days reading through all the comments on those last two posts—reading equestrians’ stories of bullying and body shaming, watching other equestrians bully and body shame, and it has honestly just made me sad.

The horse world is struggling, and watching women tear one another down when they have never stood a day in the other woman’s shoes isn’t helping. It does nothing but turn people away from the industry. Whether it’s someone new to riding who is still developing their seat and hands and receiving hateful comments, or a woman who simply happens to exist in a larger body.

The horse industry (and the world at large) could benefit from more empathy and more kindness. As is often said, be the change you wish to see.

You never know who is reading the words you are writing to a stranger, or the harm those words may cause. On the flip side, you never know how much encouragement, support, or kindness those same words could bring.

I'm heartweary from the vitriol surrounding Rocking R Ranch and Rescue, Inc. and Rocky. What an incredibly difficult and selfless act of love to say, we know your life will be short but live it fully with us.

Even if you disagree, when did who hits the hardest become goals?

Rescue is HARD, and people are often cruel. Sure, growing up with dreams of helping horses I knew people were mean to animals in unfathomable ways. I was prepared for that. The way people are eager and proud to punish other people was completely unexpected. Seeing how far people who called themselves friends will go to demolish your faith was the hardest lesson of all for me, and so many others. We need to talk about this ugly side of rescue.

Be kind. Do better.

Please help them pull this beautiful gelding out of the auction network. He's been through 3 in a month already. Support directly by clicking on the original post, sharing, and commenting encouragement. 💜

Times are tough and getting harder. We understand.

Before you take that horse to the horse trader for $500, reach out. I am specifically interested in Spanish Mustangs and Marsh/Pine Tackies on the east coast, but will network any horse with other rescues.

Let someone step in before they're sick, hurt, skinny, and confused by the soul sucking auction pipeline. Let rescuers help before the dealer is working with unscrupulous "brokers" to fundraise thousands for your horse that is in danger.

You can stop the cycle.

We still need to raise funds for Whiskinboo, a Registered Marsh Tacky, who has been through 2 auctions & now at KP in 21 days. So far we have only raised $145.60 of the $4,500 price. That leaves us $4,354.40 still to raise, plus raise or work out transport. We are a tiny organization - if you could share our page to bring us a wider network we would greatly appreciate that. ❤️ Whiskinboo is part of a rare endangered breed. Please help us get him out.❤️
