Um…I don’t think that girls who wear fashionable western-styled boots are trying to say they’re "country." They are just trying to make a statement that they are fashionable and "trendy"…it’s their personal choices and behavior, that’s all… just like your behavior and choices cause you to choose to ride horses and wear dirty boots.

It does very much bother me when people try to pretend to be someone they just aren’t though, and when people try to make it seem like they know everything when they seriously don’t…especially concerning horseback riding and horse care…

You really need to not concern yourself so much with this…it really doesn’t matter, and your making yourself look really snobby by complaining about this…you’re making it sound like you think you’re better than girls who choose to dress with fashion trend. They are not better than you and you are not better than them. You’re just different.

That’s like saying everyone who wears a beret thinks they’re French.

It’s just fashion.

Who cares? I mean, does it really affect you??

I guess I just have better things to worry about than what other people are pretending.

I ride, and I don’t pretend I’m "country". Whatever that even truely means.

that bothers me. lol

my own cousin has all of these john deer and farmers daughter shirts and stuff and has pictures of her wearing them on her MYSPACE LOL saying shes all country… then one day i was like. "yyeah, were probably moving to kentucky and im getting a horse i cant wait" (something like that) she says "oh gosh kentucky is soooo boring" but seriously if she was a true country girl she would want to live there… (i was talking about the farm areas) and she said that was boring! gosh. and also shes like "i dont really like horses" next thing ya know "ugh my friends are making fun of me for being a cowgirl" i was like sureee they were. haha also im really hating how flannel shirts and plaid shirts etc are in style and girls wear them with boots. eeeerrrr. lol. i get what you mean.

Not really. I don’t much care, but on a related note, there’s a "country" bar here where I live, which is definitely horse country, but not too far out in the country, and lots of guys show up with fancy, shiny cowboy boots that have obviously never seen the side of the horse, and worse, Wranglers that are so short that if the guy were to sit a horse, his pants would ride half way up his calves. Ha! And one look at those soft hands. . . .yuck. So we all ride, and when one of those "neon cowboys" would hit on us, we’d start asking them about the horses they ride. . . .Definitely not my type of guys!

BTW I think it’s ridiculous when women walk around in the grocery store with their half chaps on – - tall boots I can sort of understand, as they can be difficult to get off, and she may have put them on at home then headed to the barn so doesn’t have shoes to change into. I’ve even seen people (usually women) wearing their full chaps around into stores. Maybe the zippers got stuck. It’s not a big deal, but most of us snicker because we figure she’s trying to let the world know she’s a "rider" which is silly in a town where 50% of the inhabitants ride horses in one discipline or another. Just digressing. . . .

I know more than a few real country girls who might be offended at your description. Even real country girls get cleaned up and dressed up once in awhile, just like city folk !!!!
