Opinions please...i am being unreasonable!
We have quite a large herd turnout, approx 35 horses in approx 25 ac. There is one horse there that kicks the others repeatly, chases and kicks and corners at the gate.
The yard owner has told her to ensure she gets her horse in early as there has been 2 horses lame in the last month and another 2 kicked but been ok (mine being one of them) she sometimes ignores this and leaves them standing at the gate whilst she does all her jobs. I went yesterday to get the 3 in i look after and managed to get 2 past them (big bolshy friesians with NO manners) and with the 3rd they cornered her and kicked her repeatly! lucky i didnt get hurt but the poor mare. The owner, at the point of me calling mine to come in, knowing hers were at the gate begging to come in, walked off into her stable to leave me to deal with them
After all this i went in (bearing in mind she told the yard owner that if anyone had a issue just come and speak to her) and said 'just to let you know your horse and just pined another horse and kicked it repeatly' to which her reply was 'oh well, never mind'
I was soooo angry, how can you not care that your horse is hurting others and do nothing about it like bring it in and tie it up.
I'd like to add he gets fed nothing but straw and sugar beet occasionally so to be fair prob not the horses fault, hes just unhappy and starving poor thing! Althugh he doesn't have shoes on thank god, so thats a plus (this is the girl who does their feet with a angle grinder from the barefoot thread lol) think she is a sandwich short of a picnic....the whole yard thinks that
In this situation what would you do..... she is however leaving in june so i would be relunctant to leave with my horse as i look after 3 horses there.
