If I called your horse ..

[ QUOTE ]
I wouldnt have gone to the YO but if you said it in a pissed off tone I wouldnt have been happy. Horses are horses and the other horse was just being playful and him and sol were having a good time! Not Xs owners fault and X doesnt know you are trying to keep sol sound.

She does! Its a well know fact , I am desperately trying to keep her sound and any and all costs

I agree horses are horses ... and I know its not her fault but at the time and now I still think he horse is a twit!
 
Hi completely random and not to do with thread but just worked out where i know victoriaedt from.... I used to be at orchard and friend with KM and Zara....lol sorry random
 
I can understand things from both your perspective and the other persons perspective, but I have to say it's very petty of them to report what you said to your YO...?!?

I would of just gone to the YO and asked to be moved and explain why. Probibily wouldn't of said anything to the owner. Just of done it quietly.
However my horse has been named all names under the sun. "Dangerous" "cow" "bitch" etc. But the I know she is a bully and take it with a pinch of salt.
 
i would have been quite annoyed tbh... if he is known for being a bully in the field i wouldn't have put my horse out with him if it has lameness issues and don't think you can blame the horse when you know what he is like.

but if you had said it to me i would have told you to your face you had pissed me off, not told on you to the YO.
 
as an overly senstive person, who can see no fault in her horse... i'd be absolutely GUTTED if someone said that about my horse (unless they were joking).

whilst i wouldn't run to the YO to tell tales, i'd probably share my heartache with a few people... and it could get fed back to the YO that way? did she actually run off to tell tales? or did YO find out another way?

i do sympathise with you though, it's horrible feeling uncomfortable around people on the yard. perhaps you should have a little chat with her, and say that you didn't mean it, but that you had run out patience and you were worried etc. and ask if she minds coming along and helping out next time?

I think if someone had said that to me about my horse I would be pretty annoyed tbh. It's not the horses fault - it doesn't know it's not supposed to be playing. If there is not much grass can you not put some hay out?

I wouldn't have gone running to YO though - if I was that annoyed about it I would say to your face.

I'd have said "Oh is he/she!!...well mine's a double vodka and lemonade then!!"

I'd have told her to get a life, everyone's horse can be a pain in the bum, at some time!! It's not the end of the world, and I've called some a lot worse!!

honestly, hmmm well its not something I would of said as its not something I would appreciate someone saying to me, BUT having said that, it depends on how you said it I suppose, if you said it in a jokey way then explained in a serious tone as to why the horse was a pain, to a person that you know well or not so well, then that's cool. But if you were quiet annoyed and said it in serious tone to someone who you don't really know very well (or someone you can really talk to) then yes wouldn't be surprised that they were quite taken back by it, but mentioning it to the YO is taking it a we bit far. I think calling the horse the B word was a bit too far but sometimes we all get stressed and say things that perhaps could of been worded better at the time.

i'd have been so embarrassed if it was my horses- i would have been apologising and agreeing that they were bar stewards! but then my horses are little angels and keep to themselves in the field. she must surely have realised that you were just venting, i do it all the time when this stupid chestnut in my field tries to kick me at the gate- but i don't go running to the YM about it, i deal with it and move on! some people really need to grow up- how old is the person in question Ishy?

To some people, their horses are their babies/children & most would be upset if someone called their child that, so I can see how they might have felt.

I experienced something similar with a horse on my yard & I told the owner that her horse was bored stiff as she hadn't ridden it for a couple of weeks. She was very upset & we fell out over it. No name calling though! I kept that to myself!
 
i would either have retaliated by saying your horse wasn't an angel either or i would have apologised for my horses behaviour depending on the situation, the other person and the mood i was in. i wouldn't have complained though all that does is create further tension
 
I'd have called your horse a sl*t for leading him on. I possibly would have been a bit miffed at the tone, as it isn't the owner's fault, but telling the Y.O seems an over-reaction. I'm more of a bite back kind of girl than a teller!
 
I'd have laughed.....

because 2 of them probably are and I would agree, the other one is an angel and everyone lurves him anyway....

.....but I would still laugh because if any of them were being bar stewards out in the field theres not a lot I could about it apart from bring them in, tell them off and ask them not to do it again

I wouldnt be falling out over it.....I moved my horses into a different group because one was being bullied, but I didnt fall out with the owner, there wasnt anything she could have done about it......

Its not up to me where my horse gets turned out .. she was allocated a field with the horses is the barn and thats it .. we thought we'd had problems last year because Sol (my horse) was joining the herd and that why she didn't 'fit' in.

We only have lameness issues when she's chased around the field , thats the issue .. normally she is sound (for once

No , she went directly to my YO and complained about me ..
No-one else was on the yard at the time (not even YO) so she went out of her way to ring my YO and complain which is what frustrates me.

I don't think calling a horse a bastard is very serious ... If she'd caught me beating her horse round the head with a bucket .. no that would be serious

The owner in question was/is a friend ... she was even coming on holiday with me and some other liveries

still afraid i think it is your problem, not her's and not her horse's.
if my horse went lame everytime it had a good gallop/ chased around the field i would make sure it had individual turnout/ went out with quiet companions.
if current yard can't provide that then i would move, sorry.

I'm not sure how my horse happily grazing can be classed as leading him on

But ofcourse if she used the brain she was born with she'd have stayed put

My horse has special needs and she wears egg bars that she cannot keep on if she hool's round the field .. we avoid it at all costs and of course its inevitable they are going to play in the field but 40minutes a day watching her gallop about slip slinding around (due to the greasy fields as it had been raining) makes me wince , she can't go out by herself and she is out with the quietest horses on the yard (bar X)

Again people have complained about him in the past and he's got another chance and then he'll be moved. I offered to move Sol but because of her history everyone realises this isn't wisest of options

I understand she was miffed that i'd said it ... just don't think it was needed to complain to YO
crazy.gif
 
Well yes , the pair of them are bar stewards , I admit Sol is pain (not in the field but in other respects) and always just smile and laugh when people complain/rant about her to me.

I stand by my opinion that the horse is an utter sod
