A seemingly romantic horseback ride on “Sister Wives” has galloped straight into controversy. While Robyn Brown swooned over husband Kody Brown’s equestrian moment, viewers were horrified. Fans are accusing the couple of “animal abuse” and blasting Kody’s riding skills. The contrast between Robyn’s on-screen comments and fan outrage is stark.
Sister Wives: Robyn’s “Yummy” Horseback Ride
In a recent episode, Kody and Robyn shared a horse during a family outing in Wyoming. Robyn reminisced about the first time she saw Kody ride. “I had never seen him on a horse. And I was just like, ‘Whoa,'” she recalled in a confessional.
Robyn was impressed. She believed Kody “knew what he was doing” and was “so in control.” Her reaction to the shared ride? “It’s a lot of fun. It’s rawr, you know,” she purred, adding with a laugh, “It’s yummy!”
Sister Wives: “Poor Horse!”: Fans SLAM Kody & Robyn for “Animal Abuse” on Horseback!
Viewers had a drastically different take. The sight of two adults on one horse immediately raised red flags. “This poor horse that’s at least 340 lbs and Kody is sitting way back on the back of the saddle pushing it into his back,” one concerned Reddit user posted.
Many labeled the scene “animal abuse.” Another fan calculated, “Even on the high side say the horse is 1200lb it still shouldn’t carry more then 240lbs. Kody is 5’11 no way he weighs less than 180lbs then add Robyn it’s way way over.” The sentiment was clear: “Two grown adults are too much weight for a horse to bear.”
Sister Wives: Kody’s Horsemanship Under Scrutiny
Beyond the weight concerns, Kody’s actual riding ability was heavily criticized. “Kody doesn’t know how to ride. He was using the reins to stable himself and the horse was going crazy,” a viewer observed.
Others noted, “The reins were too long, he held them too tight and the saddle was WAY too loose.” One commenter stated, “He had no comprehension that he was hurting that poor horses mouth.”
Even those with minimal horse experience could tell something was amiss. “I know NOTHING about horses but I could tell the horse was unhappy/uncomfortable,” a fan admitted.
Sister Wives: Viewers Cringe at “Tacky” & “Awkward” Scene
Fans speculated Kody and Robyn were “trying so hard to create some Harlequin romance novel cover.” Instead, many felt they “looked like animal abusing idiots.” The scene was described as “sooooooooo incredibly awkward” and “tacky to say the least.” One unimpressed viewer commented, “All I could think during this scene was… ‘I’m surprised the horse can carry both them AND their overinflated egos.'”
