Horse Wank? On *My* Internet?
Fugly Horse of the Day is a blog written by a woman who vents about what she sees as the ills of the horse world - largely, Back Yard Breeders. A while back, she formed a forum as a way of tracking a training challenge she posed her readers.

And all was right with the world. For the most part, readers chatted horses, engaged in small bitchery, and critiqued their own, admittedly fugly horses, their potential breeding horses, and the random stranger's grade, unspectacular stallion that produced more of the same.

Until the Foundation Quarter Horse Debate.

Everything was fine - alright, it wasn't fine, quite a few fans of Foundation QHs were irritated, but things were proceeding rather as they always did, until TrickRoperDeluxe discovered his friend's horse was included, took offense, and proceeded to invite said friend over.

Now, FHotD members occasionally partake in a bit of trolling. I'm not a fan, it gives me the creeps, I keep waiting for [info]snacky or [info]sepiamagpie to ban me for simply reading it. However, the recent influx of Foundation QH fans has proved a match for the forum.

There's vendetta posting! There're accusations of missing the point! There's the conflation of "long backed, short necked" and "puke"!

At some point, the thread was locked. And FHotD had its first locked thread.

But wait! There's more.

Not content to let a locked, dead post lie, Foundation QH fans post no less than three posts a) violating Snacky's Law b) pretending to be the owner of one of the horses and threatening to sue for copyright infringement and c) generally begging the forum to let the Foundation QH thread lie.

Which was what it was doing, but I digress.

In addition to the accusations of meanness and copyright infringement (no amount of quoting Fair Use guidelines helps), there are a few threads started, apparently, by more Foundation QH fans who have got their fingers so close to the pulse of the blog, they think advocating slaughter will win friends and influence people.

And there is more stealing wank.

I reject the notion that there's such a thing as an ugly horse.

Yeah, ditto, and I grew up in horse country with horse-mad relatives.

I had a horse-deprived city childhood, so my reaction to anything equine is pretty much to squeal "Pony!!!!" like a five-year-old in a fairy princess dress.

I grew up in an area with lots of horses, and I'm just like you - every horse I see is OMG PONY!!! It's making me sad to see all the rage directed at a horse who is fugly because of a "funky shoulder" or something nitpicky and stupid.

I'm still pony-mad, I just know how much of a pain in the ass they can be and how much cleaning they take. Plus, what people think is a "fugly horse". I could care less about all those things, though, because, dammit izzapony!

You know how the infected humans/dogs/rats in I Am Legend all looked? This guy looks just like them.

Of course, the movie might have been better if there were infected horses in it. :/

I've never liked horses, thought they were scary looking ever since I was a child.

And then you posted that picture. I WILL NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN.

Okay, you couldn't have posted a yak!horse?

Now I have to find a non-scary cremello. And most are scary.

How do we feel about RFF Alchemist on the scary scale?
