Ok you moragulous wenches, I don't normally whine, but my goodness I need to whine.
I am of the "as long as horse isn't suffering or hurting anyone, I couldn't give two hoots what you do with it" school of thought. I keep my trap shut when people do things I disagree with, unless I am asked for advice. I live on a large yard, rent my house from the owners, and have ended up working here too. Over 100 horses on site, a mix of riding school, full livery, polo ponies and 25 DIY liveries.
My horse is on site, and this evening I was having a lovely time faffing about with him after a loooooong day of teaching. I was grooming him to within an inch of his life, having finished work and popped him over a few fences.
So, imagine my dismay when a DIY livery walked round the corner and started mouthing off at me for being cruel to him.
Erm... what lady? I no understand your weirdness.
Apparently I am a cruel witch for the way I turn my horses out. He is fully clipped (only legs left on) as he's in hard work and sweats like a fat man in a salami shop, he has his tail banged short and pulled properly, mane pulled short, whiskers off and most importantly, ears clipped out fully.
I don't rant at her for leaving her horse's mane long and straggly and not clipping... why must I be subjected to it? My horse is happy, healthy, shiny, and he is the most important man in my life. (SO much better than sodding FF) So go and stick your head in a bucket of whelks you hair loving loon.
RAAAWWWWRRRR.
Thank you. I will now go and wax some lemons to calm me down.
