I've met some amazing people and friends through the horses and shows... I see the people on my livery yard like an extended family, love them to bits.
It does depend though, I too have met my share of horrible people but there are some lovely ones out there...

I agree there are some really nice people out there and there are some horrors who are just awkward...

I think its the same whereever you go during the course of life. You'll meet some truly amazing people on the way, some of your best friends, some lovely people but equally some real rotters!

I think the trick is to be able to work out the difference between those who are genuinely nice, and those who SEEM to be nice then you find out they're not!!! Sometimes people seem lovely and give you lots of advice, then you start winning and you're suddenly not so popular. I have actually met some lovely people through a shared interest in horses, but I've come across a few horrors as well!

Yes it seems to be when you get to know them and find out what they are like is when the trouble starts or as another poster pointed out its when you start to succeed at something they start to be nasty and rude and some just do it for thr sheer hell of it..on saying that i have met some really nice horse people who are a pleasure to deal with and we have made great friends..but i think you generally get an idea of them on your first encounter.....

Interesting.
I have some lovely horsey friends that are true true friends who i love dearly and will be part of my life forever - horses or no horses.
I also have met many wonderful people over the last 2 years as i started showing who are now acquaintances that i look forward to seeing.
That said, there are many evil, malicious nasty people who spread gossip, are lovely to your face and are nasty behind your back. Who would have you believe they are friends only to find out what is going on in your life and smatter it all over the forums and social networking sites belittling you and your achievements to others. Adults by the way, not teenagers.
Those people i try and identify and cut out of my life (or deliberately lie to so they look stupid)
I think it can be said of any group of people there are good and bad.
I like to think i am a nice person, i would help anyone , lend and share my things and offer support even to relative strangers. My little wheel barrow was used by loads of people at CHAPS this year.
In return someone stole my leather head collar and lead rope off my boys door on the last day of the show. As the locks on the doors were less than desirable i'd wrapped it round and clipped it over the lock just to be safe. Cheers people ( i did take a spare just to cover this eventuality)
There are certain people who i know bi*ch behind my back - they think they are wonderful and a cut above the rest and i have no idea why. They achieve some things but are so self promoting that you'd think they won HOYS every week.
So here's my view.
Those that are horrid, are jealous. They have a chip on there shoulder and have something to prove. TheY lack confidence and gain this be tearing down others. So earlier this year i decided to pity those that say negative things. When i hear nasty things, i simply say to the source. I feel really sorry for XYZ (and then insert ) things must be going terribly for them / they must be having a really tough year / be really lonely - if they only have me and my achievements to talk about. Perhaps i'll give them a call and see if i can offer them any guidance or support?
