Large yards - how to cope with the difficult ones!

[wowser]

your all thrown together in a situation were you all have one thing in common but are not friends, some will become friends some you will hate, but what the hell! does it matter, another case that gets put on the internet to get bitched about maybe she is reading this coz she definatley wont talk now

Its a hard person that doesn't care when they are blanked by someone they've just said hello to. When this has happened to me, I feel really ill at ease, and when it happens several times, you're left with the dilemma of either continuing to say hello and be blanked, or to pretend you haven't seen them which is equally uncomfortable.
It's not in my nature to ignore someone who blanks me. A greeting costs nothing in money or time, but to ignore someone is to treat them as unworthy of respect. so I just continue to smile, say hi, just as I would to anyone else.
Just because one person has no manners, don't mean others should follow.

It isn't nice to be blanked. There's a fair bit of it goes on in the horse world. You just have to learn when to let it go. We don't know the other side of this. There may be a reason. The person in question may have felt alienated, or as though the group of friends are talking about her behind her back (which they obviously are, even on forums..) and she doesn't want anything to do with it all.

If you feel it's polite, keep saying hello, if not leave be and just go about your business while she goes about hers...

there must be a pattern to who she says hello to and who she doesn't. maybe she overhead you talking about her or something? If I overheard someone bitching about me, i'd blank them as well.
