I would like to have a mini rant. My yard owner and very bestest chum was poorly today, I'm not surprised she has 11 horses including my 2 to do every day, 2 children under 5 and a completely useless lazy layabout of a boyfriend who does nothing.
Today, as she was ill. she asked him to see to the horses for her. A close mutual friend who helps out was then going to arrive around 3pm to excercise as many of the ponies as possible for her. She arrived to find uselss lazy sod asleep in the barn, not one of the 11 boxes mucked out. She then set about doing this, he wandered around aimlessly, filled a few water trugs up, then i arrived at 4.30 after work.
The thing that has really really annoyed me, is that he, while filling water, took it upon himself to squirt my horse with the horse on full blast as she grazed nearby not just quickly but held the hose aimed at her, even when she jumped out of her skin ( she was not rugged). She is a very easily stressed mare anyway, and she shot off across the field like a rocket, then spent 15 minutes running around in the slippery mud before she calmed enough to catch her and lead her in to her stable. She was soaked from the hose on her hindquarters, sweaty under her belly, and came in on her toes refusing to walk past the hose. I spent almost the whole of July trying to conquor her fear of a hose pipe so that i could hose her off afer a ride with no fuss. I needed to see to her eye, which has been sore any puffy and needs drops, could hardly manage as she was so tense and would not stand still. he was laughing his head off, and thought the whole thing was hilarious. Some people are unbelieveable.
Rant over. Sorry, feel better now it is out......and breathe!
