Thank you Arizahn, I will be, it may be that I have to visit her home if I don't see her tomorrow.
All in all no straight 'sorry' - but I knew that wouldn't be a possibility anyway, such is the person I am dealing with. However, an acknowledgement of some kind in the form of using her own...
Hi all, update here...sorry only just got onto pc.
Well, I was very careful with my words, went upto the person who was responsible for all of this, asked 'for a word' and said, calmly, that I have found out and now know about the riding - explained how I found out too - and that I was...
Yes good point, she should have to endure the task of finding another yard - not I.
Mithras- Yes I only found out today, that is the reason. Tomorrow is going to be an incredibly stressful day!
You're right and that is what I am going to do of course. I can't believe the difference in respect, I respect people and their own animals and property, a shame people cannot do the same for me
I would say I have been through a similar type of situation, and agree with other suggestions here - starting on the ground in hand to build your confidence up - worked wonders for myself.
-Also, nice and refreshing to hear someone being upfront and honest about their confidence issues with...
Sarah Ann, It is very irrelevant, but I am just trying to explain one of many reasons I am incredibly angry and upset, he isn't a dope on a rope and I do think it matters as he requires an advanced and confident handler - Still irrelevant I know, but one of many points I have rattling through my...
Ester - to clarify - they were waiting near locked gate, nobody on yard at time. I happened to turn up to feed my horse tea and they seemed to want to come onto the yard. Yes, they confirmed they had ridden my horse, identified him very easily and were familiar with everything including peoples'...
Oh believe me I am far from happy Starryeyed.
I think also the fact shes been handling my horse, that (as far as I am aware?!) she hasn't got any experience of , sends chills down my spine. He is a brilliant boy, bombproof, however incredibly strong and infact rather clumsy in the wrong hands...
Another question, if anybody knows, would the lady who has been handling him /offering rides- be liable in event of an accident? Could mention this to her tomorrow
No, YM/YO (same difference on our yard) is not aware. As I said, I will be talking tomorrow, slightly nervous as I know I will be told I am overreacting or that it was nothing to be upset about and played down
Yes please back up your idea that I would be liable- I would like to know, I can mention this to her tomorrow also as a back up incase she says it was a bit of 'harmless fun' - which I can predict she will say!
Thank you capriole. Yes, and I am going to be speaking to YM tomorrow- I haven't actually seen the woman who has been handling my horse, as she only visits in mornings and I found out after she had left.
I think hopefully that will scare her into keeping her hands off of my horse until I find...
I feel as though this woman considers my horse her property simply for the reason we happen to share the same stable yard and she regards herself 'top dog'. I am in the process of purchasing a car so hopefully that will give me more option to move, right now would be impossible! This is a livery...
