Atmosphere is really annoying at a yard, you go there for your horse, but some people just can't help themselves and interfere, moan about your horse, 'suggest' what you should or shouldn't be doing and are just plain intrusive and try to separate those they don't like from the rest of the group. And I am talking about middle to mature adults, these are not even children! Aaargghhhh. Not so easy to leave a yard if everything else is how you like it. This includes YOs. But do agree that these obnoxious people eventually move on to destroy someone else's life - it is like playing chicken - who will blink first
I find the worst offenders are the ones who are not happy with themselves and whatever they are doing with their life. I have all the time in the world for happy nice people, but the ones that just slag off other people behind their backs, don't help to make the yard a nicer place, and just b*tch about life in general? Nah, I'll put my headphones in until I see a friend.
