You really never know when you are going to run into a rude person. Sometimes it happens while you are out shopping for groceries, and other times it happens when you are just trying to enjoy a casual horseback ride. For one Arizona woman, who goes by the username deserthoneycait online, that rude encounter came out of nowhere while she was riding her horse Magnum at a free arena. What should have been a simple and peaceful training ride turned sour when she came across a woman in a pink shirt who seemed determined to make the situation unpleasant.
According to Caitlyn, the whole confrontation started because the lady in pink wanted to ride past her in the arena. Since Caitlyn is a beginner rider, she felt uncomfortable with someone trying to squeeze past, as the risk of an accident would be higher in that situation. She expressed her concern and told the other woman as much, making it clear that she was not trying to cause trouble but simply did not want to get into a dangerous situation. Instead of taking that explanation in stride, the Arizona woman in pink immediately turned nasty and began insulting her.
The woman in pink sneered and told Caitlyn that she looked like someone riding a horse “like a monkey humping a football.” Stunned by the bizarre insult, Caitlyn asked her to repeat it, and the woman did so in the same smug tone as if proud of her words. Understandably upset, Caitlyn fired back with her own sharp retort, telling the woman, “Don’t break your horse’s back.” After that, the woman in pink rode away on her horse, leaving Caitlyn shocked but also proud of herself for not backing down.
The moment was captured on video and soon made its way online, where it quickly drew a wave of reactions. It was not just Caitlyn who was angry at the exchange, as many internet users voiced their own frustration toward the rude Arizona woman. One commenter wrote, “Wtf is her problem? Everyone starts as a beginner. She has something against you, and it ain’t how you ride. Personally, look for another stable, you shouldn’t have to, but f*ck dealing with these hateful b*tches daily.”
Others criticized the woman’s insult, calling it weak and childish, while several people applauded Caitlyn for clapping back with a brutal comeback. “Don’t break the horse’s back was brutal,” one Redditor commented, admiring her ability to stay composed and still respond with a cutting remark. Some viewers even contributed their own roast material directed at the woman in pink, with one harsh comment reading, “Look at those Michelin rolls resting across the front of her saddle. I hope the horse bucks her off and kicks her in the head.” Another user added, “Gotta start fighting back people. Roast the f*ck out of them and don’t stop till they are screaming.”
Amid the flood of reactions, experienced horse riders also chimed in, pointing out that the woman in pink was in no position to judge someone else’s riding ability. One user explained, “As a horse person, she really has no place to talk about how well someone else is riding, because she isn’t looking so great herself.” Another agreed, saying, “Right? Her stirrups are too long, saddle too small, she’s not wearing proper footwear or a helmet. She’s yanking on that poor horse’s mouth, and the poor thing is struggling to carry her!”
