Well after 2 weeks of being internetless I'm back but my first post back is a bloomin rant of all things 
I have just been given my sharers notice to quit That's 2 in less than a year! I swear by everything I hold dear neither myself or my horse are lunatics, nor are we difficult to deal with! We are actually both pretty laid back people but now I feel I can't advertise for another sharer because it's going to look like one or the other of us is a problem owner/horse!
My first sharer left during summer holidays because she was finding it hard to cope with 3 young kids and a very ill grandmother, since the kids went back to school she has bought her dream horse - she was upfront about her plans to buy her own when she was sharing with me and I knew I wouldn't have her for a very long period of time but I was very sad to see her go.
This one is leaving she says due to an "incident" last week where I questioned if she had fed the ponies because when I arrived it didn't look like they had been given much hay and they ducked under the electric fence (not on at the time) and went for a mad bronc whinnying all the way - which is very unlike them.
Apparently she felt like I was disbelieving of her and it made her uncomfortable.
If you had thought your horse was not fed enough (i.e the amount you had specified) and was very hungry the next day would you not question it?
I think though since she fell off a couple of weeks ago (which by the way I found out from my friend who was out with her wasn't due to a spook but because she lost her balance) she'd lost interest or however you want to put it - sorry I'm tired again, split shift at work and I can't seem to find the words I want to use that convey what I want to say so I'm substituting and it might suffer some loss in translation :/
So now I'm minus a sharer again (I know it's only two days but it took the pressure off me a bit and helped with things like worming and vaccinations etc - yes I could afford them without the monetary contribution but as Tesco says every little helps and even £10pw goes a fair whack towards things like that) and feel unable to re-advertise, would you re-advertise?
