Horseland Did Not Age Well 

EXACTLY

Honestly? Iconic. I love when “girl shows” let one of the nice girls be edgy

FR!! Scarlet is definitely the coolest horse design

I agree 😌

Sarah’s blonde hair, which occasionally covers her eye, looked so nice. She was my favorite.

I mean animal cruelty is worse than racism. One is physical, the other is just...offensive.

@@honda-akariracism leads to violence what the hell are you on about?

@@honda-akariThat is debatable, while both are horrible, they are both horrible in their own aspect. One is a detriment to the structure of our society, while the other is a damage to the moral standards of how to treat a non-human being. I feel racism can be considered worse when taking slavery, lack of rights, and violence towards another race into account. This is only an opinion, however, seeing as morals are generally opinion based.

@@honda-akari racism can quickly lead to violence and/or cruelty on a large scale and i wouldnt compare two very broad subjects as to which is "worse".

​@@honda-akari... do you know what racism actually entails mate. racism is backed by systemic oppression of racial minorities in most cases. which absolutely, 100% leads to not only mental harm and trauma but also physical harm. hell, native women have a much higher chance of being murdered, sa'd, or both compared to white women for a reason. (the reason being native women are seen as more disposable - less wanted and therefore less likely for the perpetrator to be caught than if they targeted a white person.)

Your mother had a point tbh probably smart

OMG SAME

My parents did the same with my sister and I. They banned us from watching any Disney Channel shows because "it teach to kids that bullying is funny, and all these characters are awful and stupid"

@@origami6479 osihdjdudyd damn that's a bit silly tbh

Based honestly. Mine “gently encouraged” me to switch back to MLP haha

OH MY GOD NO WAYYY HAHAHA

BROTHER ARE YOU KIDDING😂 Child me would’ve shown him my “Bailey shrine” where I made all my ken dolls or male Bratz into Bailey 😂 I had so many outfits with Bailey on it and my aunt made me a blanket with him and his horse. I cut my hair to try to look like Bailey much to my grandmothers horror😂 i had a complete melt down because one of the boys who rode at the same stable as me looked like Bailey. I genuinely thought he WAS Bailey and he could not get rid of me😭😭

What a small world lmao. Where is he in life now? 😂

bro stop lying you aint cool

@@amandaaddario7342 you're just jealous Bailey wasn't your neighbour SMHHHH ♥

and the horses keep getting injured!!! like maybe they shouldn't let the 9 year olds be in charge of the animals

They're 12 but yeaaah

​@@stonersirenTo be fair, horses are amazingly talented at getting sick or injured even under the best circumstances, but the number of times its caused by negligence and overwork in the show is wow.

The show is currently airing on a Finnish TV channel and I've caught a few episodes every now and then and thought it was just a funny coincidence that every one I saw had someone run off. Guess not!

@@shoujokadyan550212!? I thought they were teens lol

the phrase horse racist is sending me

​@@tivaspotatoi was just about to say the same 💀

I guess she's one of the good ones. 😅

They really made paint sound like a slur

Pepper: "No button, you are one of the good ones"

So predictable that that is how they did it. I mean, come on, the Hunchback of Nowhere from _Courage the Cowardly Dog_ didn't have to prove anything to be deserving of kindness, or the person making fun of him to just magically have a change of heart.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer: any and all deviations from the status quo can and will be punished unless they are proven to be exploitable by those around you

True, tbh-

Angora's funny one liners in all episodes of Horseland never gets old and always made me chuckle and laugh about it in a hillarious way.

side note; angora is such a weird name for the cat. it’s like naming your dog Labrador.

@@deerprynce Is the meaning of Angora's name means the name of a earless goat breed ?

@@MarcoSuperNova2784 it’s also a breed of cat, so kinda?

TRULY I was a horse kid for 11 years & the shit I dealt w/ over that time period is providing substancial financial security for my therapist.

an unsettling amount of adult equestrians still act like that -- and are seemingly quite proud of it.

yes horse people are stuck up everyone knows that

​@@gcmc3947No joke. Horse people can be mean, traditional even if it's detrimental and incredibly arrogant. I'm saying this as someone who is a horse person. Well, want to be. I've ridden and all, been researching horses, is into studies about them, watches horse content, etc. Too poor to own a horse and take many lessons these days, is all.

Yuup

When was that?

@@KrytenKoro the first episode, when she first gets there i think

Mind you, it’s easy for Sarah to say any clothes can be replaced (especially expensive ones) since she herself can afford them (or rather her dad can) since she comes from a rich family. If Alma, Molly or Nani ruined any fancy riding gear they owned, it’d probably be a while before they could afford to replace them. So although Sarah’s my fav character, it’s a bit pretentious of her to casually say clothes can be replaced so easily in that context.

​​@@sparxstreak02.. Sure, randomly yeah, but you forget that it also has the line horses cant.. Even if you were to buy a new horse, it'd cost a lot of money. Treating the injury had it gotten worse? A lot of vet bills and treatment cost. In comparison to ruin one set or clothes, when you're clearly rich enough to even own a horse? Yeah. Clothes can easily be replaced. And that isn't even mentioning the emotional bond or attachment to a living being.. What kind of message would it send if she was more concerned for her clothes than the literal injured horse? This is a kids show.

​@@sparxstreak02Besides, all of them are clearly well off aswell. They clearly could replace their clothes.. They own a horse. Not sure if you know this, but they are EXPENSIVE to own in the long run. Just because Sarah is more well off than them, does not mean they are poor.

Goodness gracious

You’re so eloquent 😂

That's so hot

Real^^

FR

Oh hey, someone else knows that episode of Pepper Ann!

w pepper ann

@erikbihari3625 I honestly just don't want stereotyped, a deep dive isn't always necessary but most "representation" barely scratches the service (also I love secret saturdays) hope this answered your question!

I’m Ojibwe and completely agree. There’s little to no accurate representation of Indigenous cultures and feel it’s too often that ALL Native Americans get grouped together and portrayed as being the same stereotype/caricature

im not native, im as pale as 8.5x11 paper, and i hardly knew anything about native americans until i was around 13. its not just media, its EVERYTHING. really unfortunate how such a large part of our country is brushed aside, and the history taught to us as kids is “columbus was a wonderful dude who had such lovely times with the *indians* isn’t that right guys” before being lightly touched upon in early high school and then ignored thereafter. due to this i feel like the real lack of confrontation about the horrible things clo-zo say really could’ve made an impression on kids. eugh.

honestly she was way too nice to zoey and chloe in her introduction episode she should have humbled them lmao

People often handle racism differently depending on how much they experienced in their life. Plus, maybe she was more focused on riding horses and looked at things through an optimistic mindset?

If I was her I would’ve left tbh

​@@jocelynecupcakeIt's a precedent that's set even with the disabled character that they're just supposed to suffer gracefully through bigotry. Some people do approach bigoted responses with a 'Water off a duck's back' attitude but having that be how most minorities experiencing racism are displayed does have adverse effects with how often people irl get told they're overreacting to offensive actions or being told to be the bigger person

I’m going to guess som me sort of oportunity

YES HE IS LIKE A SWEETHEART

Almost brilliant in a way. A big problem with "don't judge a book by its cover" plots in children's media is most character design in said media deliberately conveys character traits visually, undermining said message.

evil looking bc its black?

While making the pastel and white horses mean, like they ate with that.

I hope you're doing better now (and at least from your post, it seems you are, so that's awesome). I'm sorry the episode had such a negative effect on you. The episode was so irresponsible with how detailed it was, and how the way everyone behaved was actually encouraging the behavior (they did show that negative side effects came along, but it seemed to be framed carelessly overall and not discouraged enough). Honestly, I don't get why they had an episode centered around a topic like that period. The show was not built to tackle such heavy themes, neither in writing skill nor episode time. And I guess that was a running issue throughout the show's runtime. I never personally watched the show when I was younger, but the idea that *that* is what they were showing to people my age is terrifying. This is why it's so important to critique children's media. This cartoon is older, but there were plenty of things even then that had more tact and grace than this show.

yeah I am doing a lot better now, but its scary how that episode sat in my subconscious from childhood. Horseland really was not equipped for such an episode.@@mariesummers.

That was my favorite episode as a kid and I don’t know why 😭 I never have struggled with an eating disorder, but I can see how it damaged other kids and I don’t know why they decided to make that episode. I’m sorry it affected you like that and I hope you are doing better nowadays.

horse anorexia 😭😭😭😭

There are some hard hitting and hella good episodes out of the bunch. Like that one and the Mosey ep killed me watching it back.

Yikes.

Can’t tell you why I was triggered by a horse when I was a teenager. EDs are weird

lmao same

One of my fave tropes in mid-2000s shows pffff

This

just imagine how they treat people they DON'T like

no fr. Lots of show have a “friendship” group where they don’t even act like they like eachother

The barn drama is insane

@@jupitersabyss5045 ain’t that the truth 💀🙏

This isn't TikTok, you don't need to censor "hell"

@@Hirundo-demersalismaybe it’s literally just what the feel comfortable with, no need to be a bitch.

Is it cuz they have horse money? 😢

That's so cool!

Her whole shtick is how ppl judge her for being the rich blonde girl ahaah

She and Will are both my favorite characters. I just wish they showed Will more often

Exactly it really is

TRUE

YESSSS the horse designs are so good

A decade later I still want calypso N scarlet n button n Chile n pepper and all of them

prolly where all the budget went

Cows apparently have accents so ig it also applies to horses

Dude it’s the freaking best. Just. Every new sentence is pure Voice Over drunken one night stand level effort. Like, trying but such sloppy delivery.

I also love how Li used the chew toy squeak sound effect to bleep the word "ass." It's pretty funny! LMAO

do you know what an accent is 💀 literally everyone who speaks has an accent, that's how language works

@@prageruwu69Uh yeah, I'm pretty sure we are all aware of what accents are. That's not really the question here lmao

I say if you want an episode touching the issue of dyslexia done right, I would highly recommend Static Shock,the writers handled Rubberband Man's dyslexia really well.

THIS WAS A WAKE UP CALL TO MY MEMORY. I FORGOT ANY SPECIFIC CONTENT, BUT THIS MADE ME REMEMBER OMLLLL

Really? that is actually so messed up im so sorry for what these people have to go through…

I fully agree and would just like to point out that Li has a condition and may consider themself disabled. That's probably why they're so knowledgeable about ableist bullying 😢 (EDIT: specifically, they have POTS. They mention it at the beginning of the Polly Pocket video)

Yeah, that's what rubbed me the wrong way too. If we're disabled we have to prove we can be a proper cog to the machine of society to be accepted, but what's worse is if we try to prove too hard suddenly people question if we really are disabled because "look, you can do all these things, you're useful! You're not your disability!" which completely undermines our struggles. I fucking hate it because it's a damned if you do damned if you don't situation, no matter what your disability is.

I remember that episode, I think it was the first one I ever watched. I always viewed the ending more like disabled people might be different but are still their own person with (sometimes) better capabilities of my own.

“Okay but how can we _use_ you otherwise it’s right into the pit” nothing like having a disability become more prominent with age, you get to experience this escalation in real time 😵

Upper middle.

Meanwhile I did lessons with this woman who rescued horses for £5 and mucking out for her.

I'm guessing you're from the UK, where middle class means something different than in the US

I wouldn’t say middle class, upper middle at the very least

@@ACDBunniein the UK it usually refers to someone with quite a lot of disposable income, a well-paying job and an overall very comfortable life when it comes to money. Think private education, horse ownership, land ownership etc. I have a family friend who definitely is comfortably middle class who also owns a horse and boarding for said horse. That’s just what middle class means where I’m from anyways, not too sure how much that differs from the USA ofc

Omg I just saw that clip on tiktok bro

A cat died in the show?

​@@Twilightwolf34820i forgot the timestamp but yes 😭

⁠@@greenthinggg36:56

i was watching that part with my black cat i've had since i was a baby sitting on me, it hit harder than it should

I think I was like 8 or 9 when I first watched that episode and I still think about it it’s like branded into my brain😓😓

My theory is that Will (I think) was told to be in charge because he grew up with horses and so that way, the adults can be away from children, and that Horseland is a like a daycare and or Summer Camp so parents can leave their kids there I am sorry that happened

@@Superaqualad5459 They’re all pre teens except for will. Sarah and the others are 12-13 and Will is 15

I honestly think Will is likely at least almost an adult, either that or simply very experienced.

Pretty sure that it's just a way to save money on animation. This is a cheap show and in order to save on hiring MORE animators, they just focus on the main characters. Sure they may be too young to run the whole place on their own, but we could just use anime logic where the kid has the whole apartment/house to themself and the parents are always either on vacation, a bussiness trip, or dead. 🤷

Yeah, they had been like six adults shown on screen during all the series. Maybe Horseland took place in a post-apocalyptic world after the mysterious disappearance of the majority of the adult population... Or more likely the show didn't have the budget or ressources to have recurring adults characters, but i like my first theory better.

Remind me to further praise the Dreamworks movie "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" then if horses are really that difficult to animate.

@@riskingrain1560 i don't have much personal experience, but from what i've seen and heard basically every part of their anatomy (head, body, legs, correctly mimicing their running cycle, ect) is incredibly frustrating to get down without it looking goofy lmao

​@@riskingrain1560they are hard to animate nonetheless.. dreamworks is no indie animation studio with budget issues

​@@riskingrain1560YES!! as an artist who's absolute favourite movie in his childhood being Spirit; its such an amazing movie on so many fronts. We just don't talk about the animated series on Netflix :)

It bugged me that there weren't any equestrian anime. There used to be an anime rental place in my area and the owner was stumped when I asked about one.

Yes these shows are okay when viewing in it's original format.

The character designs slayed so much in this show. 💖

That was the only reason I watched it when I was younger. But the art style never fit the preachy boring writing, though. And why oh why did the animals have to talk?@@enchantingmirage

Agree. The designs of the horses are delightful

It activates a part of my brain I didn't know existed

agreed. that's why i loved when the strawberry shortcake characters had ponies that matched their designs and aesthetics. i kno that was random for me to say, but yea.

Oh yeah horse girls are mean regardless of if they own a horse or not😅

@@amberwingtundrawing776 thats a rude statement to make about a group of people that like one specific animal. Its better to say something along the lines of "competition is encouraged among equestrians leading to bad sportsmen ship in name of winning".

​@@titandarknight2698are you a snowflake?

Im always surprised by such statements. I went to two different stables for 5 and 3 years and both had absolutely lovely people. I didnt get along with everyone of course but overall horse folks were nice😂

as a horse girl yeah a good portion of them are awful. like genuinely. probably a mix of "young teen girls who are just in that part of their development" and "corrupted horse community that values competition and control over genuine connection with the animal". there is ofc good horse people too, but man... there's too many bad ones

Or Chili's owner might be cold-hearted?

When i was a kid I ALWAYS misremembered the white horse's name as Salt, because it fit in with pepper and matched his color scheme.

I hope the owner was also traumatized by her terrible life choices

Same, I did not help that I was a horseboy and have rich parents

This is how I was with every pretty/handsome rich "mean girl/boy" character. I didn't care that they were the bad guys, all I knew is that they slayed and I wanted to be them. Of course, I AM autistic, so I think I had trouble picking up on the fact that even though those characters were usually portrayed as the cool kids in cartoons, that wasn't how the mean/cool kids acted in real life, so I always just got bullied for my excessive campiness.

I feel like most of the time, gravitating towards a more "villonous" character as a kid could possibly point to bigger external, and interpersonal issues such as relationships with family and friends or even expiriences.

Same. She was the one who looked like me the most with the headband and so I related to her even though she was supposed to be (an actual) mean girl. I understood she was a mean girl but never like a genuinly bad person

@PissyLissy Exact same thing happened to me thought I was the only autist that had this 😭

yeah fr even that recap was a bit much to watch

I hope you’re better now. Do you need anything?

I'm so sorry. I hope things are better now

Makes sense

@@miticaBEP07 I'm ok. Talked it over with my therapist

Good thing bloom from Winx existed then lol before s4 she was very sweet and was a fun character

Yeah its very weird especially since us redheads are often bullied (Ik since I'm also a redhead and my peers bullied me like crazy)

It never occurred to me that she was a redhead idk why…maybe bc she was mean and I was like “why.”

@@lepluslongnomvousallezetre4055oh yeah, bloom was so sweet, when she wasn’t being entitled, bratty, an abusive girlfriend, but hey she was sweet I gues?

There actually were toys of the humans and they also came with the horses

There are toys!?!?! Holy, I didn’t even know there was a cartoon. I only had journals that I have no idea how even ended up in my country

There were toys??!!!?????

there.. there were toys???

This video dug up memories if watching this show as a kid and all i remember was I hated all the humans and wanted it to only be the horses

Yeah... that one hits a bit too close to home.

They do???!

Yes, Cats often hide when they feel unwell too @@lalaland2107

​@@lalaland2107They don't actually realize their time is up,however they start looking for a quiet place to rest when they start feeling bad,so essentially they will often look for their own grave without relizing it.

This video is the only contact I have with that episode, but I couldn't stop crying seeing the clip of him leaving, and the paw prints in the snow...

what was the other show?

@@Ugly-Pidgeon Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

Theres also dork dairies with a Chloe and a Zoe, which is kinda funny

Miraculous? Yeah. Them.

Miraculous Ladybug?

That sounds so fun

You have inspired me to do the same in Sims 4

I remember doing the exact same thing 😭😭

Don't forget more horses!!!

Instead of rebooting Spirit into a weird kinda racist series, they could have easily rebooted Horseland & I know kids and the people who watched the original show would go feral

"microaggressions." 🙄

@@chesterstevens8870 why are you even here?

@@Jcatgrl To laugh at you.

Wow😂 your right though

god you’re so right 🤣🤣🤣

They like the toxic friendships or else they would ignore each other and just ride the horses

Exactly

Except make it white washed

Yet, strangely not too off base.

i can't get over it

Ok the whole point of that episode is that they were WRONG for acting like that. It’s all about learning their lesson. Why does no one talking about horseland understand that???

I just got to that part and that was my exact thought. What proto-manosphere incels were responsible for writing _that_ episode?

I watched CBS a little bit and *hated* this show.

I saw bits and pieces of it.

i used to watch this show a lot, bcuz i only had public tv for a time lol. i was literally forced to like it cuz there wasn't anything else available

I think I saw it on Netflix but I have truly no idea.

I agree, this show had it's flaws but it was better than that crap from Cartoon Network and some of the stuff on Nickelodeon

which begs the question, did the show say what state Horseland takes place in?

@@sammyvictors2603 I think it’s in Colorado iirc

@@MellisFox I live in Colorado and Mountain lions are a thing but not as big of a problem as in the show. In my area, more people get mauled by bears than Mountain lions.

One time someone thought me and my brother were dating 💀

​@@Feezee223 I always feel weird when I go watch a movie with my little brother (he's 18 and way taller than me) about what people might think💀💀

@@diediedice my brother is 2 years older then me but we look almost like twins and somehow someone still thought we were dating even tho we were just walking down the sidewalk together and it was so weird and awkward

@@Feezee223 Omg that's the worst. I remember a video where someone was guessing if the man and woman in a picture were dating or just siblings. It was really uncanny

​@@Feezee223The same happened to me. My brother is 9 years older than me and I wasn't even 18 at the time. It was... shocking and awkward.

Scarlet the horse is also Fiona Flagstaff in Dino squad

The Finnish dub too. What the heck?

polish as well possibly although i don't remember that well

I was actually just wondering if the German version was good but it does make sense because the industry for dubbing in Germany actually has a lot of means to make it sound well

The Swedish one as well. They sounded so much more emotional and dedicated to their roles than the English actors

omg i was about to comment this i generally remember this show being a lot better

I just realized this applies to me too ToT Edit: I just saw the episode I'm astounded that no one punched them ^^;.

The racism in this episode was disturbingly realistic, like, sht people have actually said to me as a person with native American ancestry..

omg as someone who was obsessed with the show as a kid i love that you watched this with no context. No one i know watched it as a kid

Knowing this gives so much context to why they didn’t animate the horses too much

His adventure time episode is great

​@@cynicalbutterscotch6581"JAAMESS BAAXTEER!!!"-but horse

The funny thing is that I am best at drawing horses, and I startet animating horses, so the way horses move is normal for me, and I am not able to do dogs or cats or any animal that moves differently 😂

Omg that's why the horse in at is named that. Ahh that sucks because I despise James Baxters design and character. That's too bad

exactly!!! as someone disabled this always stuck with me!! it was like one of the only episodes i remember

Well said! I have a vision disability myself and this episode always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s so bad

"Don't react" is just a lazy cop-out which only benefits the least emotionally intelligent person.

AMEN

I'm both autistic and have adhd. It's so annoying because I get the abelism and bigotry from both sides. And then on top of that I also identify as bi and non binary, so I get the shit show from that too! It's like a compass where every direction is just a different flavor of sewage. People can just say things like "you don't look autistic", "you're not that energetic, so I don't believe you have adhd", "but you have to pick a side!" or "but biologically you're still a woman" and I'm expected to be kind because "they don't know better". I'm not allowed to respond with stuff like "that's because autism isn't a physical disability, but a mental one. It's a difference in our brain, not a difference in how our body look", "that's because the chaos is in my brain, not my body", "who says I have to pick?" or "why do you think I want that surgery you refuse to do because I MIGHT want kids despite there being valid alternative ways to get a kid?" without being called an idiot, rude, delusional or met with responses like "well, how was I supposed to know that?", "I'm sooooo sorry!" (In a way to force you to reassure them that its fiiiiiine) "but my 5 year old cousin has that too and he behaves nothing like you!" etc etc etc. Gosh, just let me play video games with my hubby, leave me alone in public and respect my boundaries/limitations. It's so fucking annoying when I have to scrunch up into a tiny ball during my bus ride because someone keeps invading my personal space and I'm too anxious to say anything while it being VERY clear that I don't feel comfortable with it. Also while I'm ranting, can we please bring back seating accommodations in grocery stores? Not just for people who have stuff like painful bones or such, but also for cases like lightheaded, out of breath (like an astma attack) or stuff like autistic people getting a sensory overload from the loud noises, people entering their personal space and the overwhelming amounts of scents in the tea isle. I had that exact thing happen earlier today and I had to heavily lean on my cart and the pillars to make sure I didn't fall over. Seating accommodations would make situations like that much less scary and dangerous as well as just improving the shopping experience in general. After I navigated my way out of the tea isle and through self checkout, I had to find the nearest bench outside just to make sure I didn't pass out or had a breakdown during my commute home. Stuff like this could be prevented by just implementing small things like seats or quiet hours in stores. Anyway, that's my ranting for now 😅

This is fucking wild to read

I vaguely remember this

I mean, whoever worte that wasn't wrong, Shep absorbed our mortal souls with his stare😂

Dude I remember this theory 😭😭

@@latelyitsemily I actually looked into it the other day (searched through old messages) and it definitely did happen. Here are some quotes from screenshots. “Shep often acts as a friend and voice of reason for Teeny as a way to conceal his overwhelming urge to outwardly manipulate or harm her, a fact she is completely unaware of.” “Shep is a male brown and white collie dog that works at Horseland. His owner is Bailey, and Shep has been with him since Bailey’s arrival on Earth, though he seems to be unaware of Bailey’s true form.” “At the same time, however, Shep has a dark side and sometimes displays psychotic and manipulative tendencies towards his animal companions. This may be due to the fact that he is owned by Bailey, though this is unconfirmed. Shep is also known to harbor an extreme desire to murder and eat Teeny, but he conceals this fact by offering advice to her and putting up a gentle laid-back front in her presence. His unsatisfied lust for blood, power, and respect gained through knowledge is what motivates him to remain at Horseland, along with his loyalty towards Bailey.”

Just like Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

I've heard some disabled people say that Kim Possible did a pretty good job of portraying a disabled character but it's been so long since I watched the show so I can't really remember much. Except for the fact that the dude had a rocket wheelchair that he modded himself.

To be fair, in Avatar The Last Airbender, Toph Beifong joined the team BECAUSE Aang needed an earthbending teacher. But they also never thought any less of her before she joined, she was always on equal footing.

Yeah, one of the first things I learned about how to deal with bullies is don't cry in front of them, and if you have to run away from them to avoid letting them see your tears that's still better than openly crying in front of them. It won't make it better but it will keep it from getting worse and also crying all the time is tiring and I don't have the energy

Hey, I hope things have improved now. Things WILL get better x

Even as a child who knew nothing about horses at all I still watched this show thinking "that doesn't look right"

Some of the jumps are pretty big as well, like the horse would have to be trained on its own and might not physically be able to do it if it's not a high jumping breed, which trained can cost into the high six figures.

As corny as it was, I think Saddle Club was ever so more educational

omg i loved Saddle Club

I’ll check your girth. ;)

YEAH, it drives me crazy every time i remember this episode. what do you MEAN you haven't noticed a GIANT PILE OF ROTTING OATS AND HAY????

Horses are also just incredibly food-driven, it's a conceptually bad premise to begin with. Only time I've seen a horse not take treats irl was one that had only just come off the race track and didn't understand the concept of treats yet. He soon understood tho and joined the ranks of all the others that would go nucking futs if a mint wrapper crinkled lol

​@@pkcellWell, the horses in Horseland are anthropomorphized in behaviour, so it's not that bad to portray mental illness using the animal characters.

@@iclynnx It’s still a bad idea tho, specially how it’s presented.

@@nerdyespurr Yeah, I see how it can be a pretty bad representation.

Do you remember what it was we did enjoy about Horseland? Because I was passionate about the place for years, but I cannot quite recall what actual fun there was.

Touhou pfp spotted

Sadly as a general rule people will only accept you if you are somehow useful to them. It just happens to be more obvious when it comes to disabled people. That's why it's important to teach kids from an early age that all humans have inherent unlimited value.

When I seen this episode as a child, I took it as "Just because someone is disabled, don't underestimate their abilities", which is far more positive outlook at life than this comment section

@@almamater489 Exactly! That's how I took the episode. Honestly this show wasn't as bad as the video is saying it was.

⁠@@pocaiesc for real 😭people act like this show is velma lmao

@@FirstnameLastname-ek6tz Haven't seen Velma never plan to but seriously Horseland is a show for KIDS ages 7/8ish to 10 of course you as an adult are not going to like it! You going to talk about H2O and all of it's silliness next? Or the 80"s Ninja Turtles? He-Man And She-Ra? Let Kids enjoy stuff man.

True friendship has mean comments to each other.

Same like damn

@@zestytriss5282Not petty and judgmental bullshit tho

honestly its not really far from reality

All of y'all saying it's not That unrealistic must've had some pretty shitty friends growing up. My friend group poked fun at each other, sure, but we all knew it was in good faith. The few times any of us went too far, we apologized and avoided repeating the behavior. Even at our worst, I don't think we got anywhere near saying the kind of things these girls do to each other.

My mind keep bringing up her "regiment" as well whenever I feel bad. I wish they let the Cat Death episode be the one.

I relate to your comment. I had a pretty serious eating disorder for 8 years, and I used to watch that episode as a kid for the same reason. I just wanted to say that you are not alone, that recovery is hard but possible. I am so happy to have my life back and love my body no matter how it looks, and that I value my health more than my appearance. I want the same for you. Take your journey one day at a time, and know that things can and WILL get better

Bloom racism arc

LMFAO BLOOM'S ANNOYING BUT SHES NOT RASCIST LMFAO!

Lol!

Also sick and omg same it’s been really discombobulating!

Lmao

So true 😂

yes Lmao

absolutley -former horse girl

Low IQ?

I think you have been to the wrong stables. Competition-oriented riders are probably going to be more bitchy. I’ve spend my entire life around horses, and the only people that ever behaved badly were the ones bullying equestrians for their hobby. I don’t think you can expect someone to be nice to you when you call them dumb?

@@cerealkiller1031Bro all the horse girls in school were horrendous to everybody but especially to each other

OH MY GOD 😂😂

SO REAL LMAO

thats a whole lotta damage LMAO

😭😭😭

For real... Also W pfp love KOF

Yes! I was shocked when I heard the english dub for the first time

True dat

I was about to say that too. The german version sounded fantastic compared to this mess.

Same with the Swedish voice actors, they sounded so much better than the original ones

I watched it dubbed in romanian and honestly it's surprisingly so much better. I like their voices more

omg your mom sounds so cool, this may be a bad reference but your moms story kinda reminds me of that character Rania from the game star stable online .

@@Penguins_umbrella had to look that character up cause it’s been a long while sense I played Star Stable and that’s interesting! Thank you for the compliment!

All of this ^

The horse care part? Ridiculous. The mean girl part? Fully correct

@@savanna9482 Thank you for confirmation. 🥲 I suck at spelling.

That was the sister’s job and the sister gets an earful for not doing it. It’s not the job of the others to do that or confirm that it’s being done. they likely thought she WAS being taken out

Horseland wasn’t perfect on certain issues but overall was AMAZING and way ahead of its time. They do bad things, yes, but they ALWAYS learn their lesson. It’s a show to teach kids why not to be assholes.
