Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on liveries taking their children/ babies down to do their horses with them? I seem to have encountered very odd attitudes and I am not sure if I am in cloud cuckoo world!
Thanks, I do find some replies interesting really. I am just shocked at how many people are not tolerant of children. I have a toddler and obviously try my best to make sure he doesn't upset or frighten any horses but obviously he is a toddler so I cant bind and gag him!
It has never bothered me that people have their kids at yards, never crossed my mind much tbh and I have had numerous competition horses I could have been precious about getting spooked, just a massive surprise to me since I have had mine how people feel about them!
I am shocked too that adults have free range children in potentially dangerous places. I like children but it makes me very nervous when the very young ones are unsupervised. They have no concept, because of their ages, of the danger. I can't stop my horse being a horse so if someone's child is inadvertently hurt eg by being to close to and scaring a tied up horse into kicking out are you OK with that?I am just shocked at how many people are not tolerant of children. I have a toddler and obviously try my best to make sure he doesn't upset or frighten any horses but obviously he is a toddler so I cant bind and gag him!
I'll take enthusiastic, pony-mad kids over mardy, miserable, middle aged, gossipy, grumpy adults anyday.....
