Am I being too ambitious?

[Hullabaloo]

When I was growing up I used to have dreams of riding round Badminton, maybe with riding the odd national hunt race and a bit of international show jumping thrown in. These days I am much less ambitious - I just want to go out and have fun.

I do still have some hopes and dreams but they seem to be as likely to be realised as me winning the Grand National. Do you think I'm being unrealistic - the things I hope for every day are

1) People put their muck on top of the muck heap instead of starting an annex in the parking area

and

2) People remove their horses poo from the school

Is this a reasonable thing to want or am I just becoming a grumpy old(ish) woman?

No I was at one yard where if you did not own up to the poo in the school she fined all the liveries only got fined twice as someone would pick it up funnily enough

 

[Baggybreeches]

I must be old too!
The answer is to have only your own horses on your yard! It is bliss!

At my previous livery yard if poo was left in the school - it was locked, until it got picked up......

I have the same dreams as you.

a) liveries putting muck on top of muck heap rather than in a pile at the foot of the trailer.
b) liveries carrying hay/straw from the barn to their stable in a wheelbarrow rather than in their arms, over my JUST SWEPT YARD whilst I am STANDING RIGHT THERE still holding the f******g broom GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I don't think I would even dare to dream that they would pick up after themselves in the school... I hope your ambitions are realised.

Oh well at least I know its not just me.
Our YO just rents us the land and lets us get on with it so there is no-one really in charge who can fine people, lock the school or shovel their dirty shavings into the boot of their car when they're not looking. The arrangement has lots of advantages - its just a shame some people take advantage.

Another dream of mine is that someone falls off in the school into their horse's poo. Bet they'd pick up after that!

I wish they would also put jumps away after use, 3 times the last couple of weeks i had to put jumps away so I could practice a dressage test! v.annoying!

We have only our horses at home, so I dream of having a school, but I know that will stay just a dream.
