Dear fellow liveries (warning . . . rant)

[PolarSkye]

now what you mean! love the yard that i am on, but just outside my stable and tie up point is also the shoeing area ! so i quite freaquently get there of a evening to find i have to sweep the area, where the owner has a) not been there for the farrier b) not cleared up c) not cleared up properly (nails), we have got one chap who removes the poo then leaves the rest, and one who sweeps up a but fills my skip up and leaves it for me to emty..

That would really wind me up. I always clear up after my farrier and would NEVER just dump my sweepings in somebody else's skip . . . it's just rude. If someone has gone to the trouble of sweeping up outside their stable, why would I think it was acceptable to leave my mess there?

Sigh.
