Lately I've been feeling so unwanted and looked down on at my yard. There's only female liveries and they are all b******!!
I love the yard and the facilities and my horse is happy there but I'm not respected in the slightest. I am 18 and don't have 'horsey' parents so I go to the yard myself and often don't have anybody to ask advice to, but when I do approach the ladies at the yard for help they end up talking behind my back saying things like "oh she shouldn't have a horse if she needs help with THAT"
I've heard the girls say it and the yard owner is just as bad, she will slate everyone at the yard but will be as nice as you like to us as long as she's receiving our money.
My trouble is I work at the yard too, I muck out the yard owners horses along side a few other girls. And they just do not have time for me and make the atmosphere horrible. I know ideally I should just get a grip and carry on working, but it's really effecting my self esteem and making me want to take days off work to avoid certain girls.
I want to approach the yard owner but nothing will be resolved as she, herself , is too scared of her liveries and staff to say anything.
What do I do? Do I quit my job and move my horse? Or something else
It's every day that I go see my horse I get dirty looks and snide remarks as I walk by. I've tried to ignore it but it's making me lose interest in the sport and I don't want to quit...
