Teenage owner of G's stablemate (and step daughter of G's owner) comes out with some drivel...
She told me yesterday that G had beaten piggy pony up to the point that he'd fallen over and then suffered stamping and kicking to the head...told as if sh'd watched it happen...turns out her cousin assessed his injuries (a few superficial scratches on legs and a scrape on the head from a glancing blow nothing more) and gave her verdict CSI style. G is now being treated like a mass murderer on the loose!
She also tells the livery on the yard, who is an excellent rider, that her cousin (are you seeing a trend here?!) noticed she was wearing her spurs upside down and that everyone actually should ride with the spurs pointing up...it must be right as when she then rode piggy pony with her spurs on, ahem, the right way up, he was far more 'sparky' than he had been recently.
She plans to start feeding piggy pony 'some sort of heating mix' because he's just so sluggish at the moment. Upon being told that it might be a bad idea and he would probably become explosive and bucky/reary/bolty instead of forward going she simply replied that she'd prefer that as he would be fun then and not boring.
The girl falls off this horse if he side steps at a walk unexpectedly!! Aaargh I am soooooo glad she's back off to school next week and I don't have to humour this garbage!
Sorry for rant, just had to have a bit of a vent!! I feel bad being annoyed with piggy pony and his recently acquired bad manners as when I think about it, it's her fault for letting him get like this over the past 5 weeks where she's had free rein, pardon the pun, and no adult supervision. It just makes me so annoyed that anyone can have a horse if they have the money, even if they're seriously lacking in fundamental horse care knowledge

Sorry we can't all know everything!
