Hacking with others... am i right to be upset?

[PolarSkye]

I'm not here to argue smiley faces r there 2 show that! Every 1 is entiteled to an opinion and I feel very strong about not getting off a horse when they r spooking or tense! From my own experience I know that horses will inprove if they are shown confidence through the saddle! In your case an under lying problem like nervicular I know could only make him sore and uncomfortable if he is putting extra stress on himself when having a tizzy therefore can totaly understand why you'd get off him! I personally wouldn't b riding him but that's me

And you're a vet are you? Clearly not. My vet's recommendation is that the best thing for his navicular is work . . . on good ground . . . promotes blood flow to the hoof structure which helps slow further damage.

Kali is sound without bute with eggbar shoes/rolled toes. My beautiful gelding is my pride and joy . . . he has quite literally saved my life (I have severe depression) . . . I have nursed him through box rest and rehabilitation to the point where he is now sound with the navicular changes (which I have seen with my own eyes on the x-rays).

Getting off him when he's having a tizz has nothing to do with his navicular and everything to do with his mental wellbeing and safety - I don't relish the thought of him getting onto the road adjacent to our gallops and getting hit by a car or a lorry travelling at speed . . . and I'd like to see you stop him once he's decided he's going.

Don't make assumptions.

Lmao u r hilarious! I never said that at all u even quoted that I said it wouldn't suit me! Hit a nerve by any chance lol

 

[zaminda]

Katiesdolphin, if you read my post properly, you would see it says one of my horses at home, not one of the ones at work. The horse in question puts itself on the floor quite effectively, I have only once had to get off at work, this was because it was disappearing backwards across a ploughed field, and the boss actually said to get off and drag it! I am by the way, rather far from being windy, quite the opposite, but I do understand the whole horses for courses attitude, and that in some circumstances, and with some horses/people, this is the best option.

 

[PolarSkye]

don't stress on it, it's not worth getting wound up over.

DS you are right . . . I am getting wound up because I'm too close to the issue . . . thank you for reminding me to breathe.

Off to do something in the real world .

I know your new, but we dont use text spelling on here, its very annoying.

 

[rockysmum]

See personally I think getting off and giving the poor ickle horse a rest is a fantastic idea. In addition all that extra exercise stops us getting too heavy for our poor poor ponies, especially if they have nervicular (what the hell is that anyway)

Unfortunately I cant get off either of mine, I couldn't get back on without the huge mounting block on the yard.

PS please don't let this person wind you up - anyone who has actually read your posts about your beautiful boy knows how you love and care for him.
Don't quite know where this thread went so horribly wrong but really there's no need to try and shove opinions down people's throats - you want to get off? Get off. Want to ride through it? Ride through it. Simple surely???

Thank you - kind words.

And re the getting off issue . . . I agree . . . it's quite simple . . . your horse your rules.

Off to bed.

I edited....I just can't be fazed tonight, at least you have that memory...

Hahahahaha!

Me too. Night

Getting back to the point of OP! [Some folks on here appear to be as rude as the original problem!] You say they didn't want you to go with them, so they have tongues in their heads and can say so, yes? If you take someone with you you accommodate them. If you don't want them, just say No. Simplez. As for bombing off round a corner and or on private property. That behaviour gives horse riders a bad name. I have no sympathy with them, and yes you are right to be annoyed.

 

[YorksG]

OP I would guess that they didn't want you to go with them as they knew that they were going to go against the rules of how they should ride the horse in light work and that they were going to go jollying on some-one elses land without permission. They obviously have no manners at all and are best left to their own devices.

 

[lastchancer]

I was agreeing with you. I realised too late that it might read as exactly the opposite!

Ahh, I thought so, but wasn't sure if my original comment had been taken the wrong way lol

 

[Myhorseeatsmoney]

I know of children who own ponies that are far more sensible than they are.
If they had explained that they intended to do fast work you could have said that you would rather not go that time. That is not only spiteful but dangerous.

I would tell your yard owner because when you are at a livery yard you have to realise that if you behave badly it reflects on the yard owner. Deliberately riding on a neighbours property is really rude and could cause your YO a lot of trouble.

 

[Achinghips]

Hi OP, I hope they haven't destroyed your confidence too much, it really does sound like you had a horrible and quite stressful experience. It's not nice being scared.
I personally wouldn't involve the YO. It happened off her Yard and YO isn't parent.

I would not hack out with them again as they didn't appear to want you there, as you said, in the first place. Just do your own thing with your own horse and you'll be happier I'm sure.

 

[Celestica]

Who was calling the shots? Ie, your novice friend who you said was there or perhaps a more advance person? For the first canter it may have been an accident, they may have thought you were nearly around the bend when the person in lead file decided to transition, also I don't know about you but I don't often look behind me when cantering unless I'm particularly looking out for someone behind me.

But fair play to sitting the bucks and rears and following your instinct to dismount your horse as well as refusing to trespass on private property! It can be very hard to not do what your friends are doing even though you feel awkward or fear being separated out on the hack but in the end you did the right thing. Talk to your friend about it and see what they say, the canter incident may have been an honest mistake and they might not be aware of how you feel. If this behaviour carries on then just ignore them and keep to yourself

 

[gabore]

how can you lot say she did the right thing. in the end she should have asked there plans and like one said on here i would not have gotten of. i worked in racing and if u get of when going gets tough the boss would have you for that. even get told of if u fell do to the horse now knowing thats a way out of working

[Briony&Anakin]

But she's not on a racing yard - your post is irrelevant.

 

[katiesdolphin]

Think they think your me! Lmao heaven forbid some1 else has an oppinion!

 

[gabore]
