Splitting hairs here but you said another occasion about nails in tyres after being parked at the yard. I just put the two examples together. I didn't mean you were dropping the friend off after seeing your horse. Parking at the yard was what I meant.

I can see what you're saying but on both occasions, you were going somewhere yourself anyway; you were going home anyway and you just changed your route to drop a friend off and you were going to the yard to see YOUR horse. I took my trailer out just for her. It was parked in a barn at that...

Quite an assumption. No, not an expensive house - one that has subsidence and isn't worth anything so we couldn't sell it. Ex husband works abroad and refused to have anything to do with it, I haven't had a lot of choice. But thanks for your judgement.

She doesn't drive and no one else at her yard offered to take her. I had a holiday day so u get paid the same whether its taken it or not. Only said it to point out I took the day off to hemp her out, didn't mean that was the reason I'm short of money. Teailer will be going up for sale once I...

Yeah you're probably right. When you're fed up, the smallest things can feel massive. The friend does know all this about my life, we had just planned a nice day out really at this show - her to do well on her horse and me to get away from it all for the day. I honestly wouldn't be bothered...

No just taking a day off work to take her somewhere she wouldn't otherwise be able to go, just because I know she can do well and wanted to be supportive. No, not much of a friend at all.

If only I was a richer friend then maybe I'd be a better one then.

Thanks for all your replies. Think I'm going to ask her for the money. If i could afford it then I wouldn't, but I've had to put the cost on my credit card. I'm newly divorced, lumbered with a house I can barely afford and my horse is out on full loan. Will be selling the trailer shortly if...

The tyre was approx 18 months old. There was a huge thorn in it that seemed to have caused the damage. Probably picked up on the country road en route. Starting to know what you mean about not offering, not that she took advantage but more because now I'm all cross and out of pocket that was...

It's not my outing. I didn't take a horse, only she did.

Long story short: took a friend to a competition as she had no transport but qualified for a trailblazer and couldn't get there. I took the day off work but enjoyed going to watch anyway so that's by the by. Was a 90 min journey each way and she paid fuel money but nothing else towards trailer...

I don't particularly like kids but not to the extent you dislike them clearly. Why in earth are you a teacher? Surely you're just like some massive ball of anger every day of your life?!!

Oh how I've missed this forum *grabs popcorn*

Christ, if you're upset over this then you won't last long on most livery yards!! Wait until you meet Mrs I Know Everything About Your Horse and see how rude you think she is. Can't wait for that thread! Good luck :D

Husband bought me a brand new bates saddle for my 30th birthday. Today, which is 4 weeks later, my sharer falls off and the stirrup tread has taken a big lump out of the saddle and scratched it all down the seat. I could cry. Sharer is ok physically and so is horse and other than being upset...
