I over heard at the yard complaining that my daughter had not moved our mare, as she was standing by the fence inside the school, when she tried to lead her stallion past. She said "It makes me so cross she just stood there with that mare when she knows he is a stallion and I can't control him".

i don't think she should expect others to move because she can't control her horse what do you think?

I've hacked out on my well-behaved, extremely non-flirty TB mare, with a gelding friend, only to have some mad woman on a bay shout 'I'm on a stallion! A stallion! ' I think she thought I should turn round and avoid going past her....but if I can control my mare, she should control her stallion, or not be on the road.

If it hasnt it will be an accident waiting to happen specially if she is sooo incompetent she cannot lead it past a mare and make it realise it has to behave!!
 
I agree - Im sure if she had asked your daughter wu;ld she mind moving her mare as the stallion can become a handful, your daughter would have. I hate bit@hing behind peoples back like that particularly when your daughter had done nothing wrong. Anyway, what the hell is she going to do with a stallion that she can't control? What is she going to do at shows? If you want to have a stallion you have to be able to control him.
 
He couldn't get to her anyway as she was in the school having just mounted and he was outside.

I'm afraid I think if she can't control him then she has no business having a stallion. We can't all be watching what she is doing all the time.
 
I lead a 16hh stallion at work and I am 5"2, he has never pulled me, he prances and sings and I have dragged him past a few mares and the occsional gelding. (Said stallion will have anything with a pulse.) I would never dream of handling him him if I thought I couldn't handle him (Hes a big softie really, we have an understanding

) because he has gotten away from people before and the consequences could be huge if a stallion got loose!! Stupid woman shouldn't have a stallion if she can't lead it past a mare that is on the other side of a gate.. Print this thread and show it to her
