What baffles me is the "OMG, she's so rude to her clients!!!" from some of the commenters there. She's ranting, anonymously, on the internet. The closest we have to identifying information in terms of which trainer is that they're working in the US.

Are we supposed to believe that none of these people have ever blown off steam? Never waited until the boss is out of the room and gone "If he asks me about that report one more time I'm going to strangle him, I've told him it's next week", never had a drink with another parent and grumbled about how annoying it is when kids think tidying is a foreign concept?

If the trainer was doing this on her blog, then I'd worry about her attitude with clients. But this is anonymous, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't rant sometimes.

The whole thing about "You're being elitist saying horses are for the rich"... no, she's saying horses are expensive. This is an unarguable fact. They're something you have to either be born very rich to have, or sacrifice a lot to keep, they're not a right.
