Had brought my two in, gone home and saw big loose horse roaming round the farm. Nipped down to field opened gate and popped it in to keep it safe.
10 minutes later owner appears - walks into paddock, takes horse without even so much as a thankyou.
Some people are so flipping rude!!!!!!!!!
 
How rude! Reminds me of a few years back, had a phone call in the middle of the night from a non horsey friend to say that she had a horse in her back garden so off I trotted with headcollar and leadrope whilst friend phoned the police to try find out who it belonged to.

Stood in freezing cold holding this horse for over an hour whilst police tried to find owner as the local livery yard owner wouldn't take the horse in. A woman came driving up in her car, squealing brakes, daughter gets out of car, no thank you nothing, just removed my headcollar and lead rope, put hers on and angrily walked off with the pony. Charming.

Now that IS rude. I would've been fuming!! :mad:
 
how rude- when mine escaped (and they went through a stage of it in Oct!) text the people afterwards thanking them for contacting me and holding them till I got there (10 mins later) - and time before that was really annoyed at myself for not taking the ladies address to send her some flowers to thank her for finding them and looking after them till I got there.
 
Some people are like that which sometimes makes you think again about helping them, last week two horses were loose on road by my friends yard owner didnt even say thank you for us trying to catch them for her.
 
That is very rude and there is no need for it whatsoever! I've recovered the neighbour's ponies 3 times in the last 4 weeks, once in the middle of the night with the help of the police and was kind of hoping he would pop by and say thank you, but nothing so far! I'm slightly peeved off as well, as I am pregnant and handling semi-wild ponies in the middle of the night is not my idea of fun!
 
I caught a horse running loose in the road, no-one at the time knew whose it was so I took it back to mine, stabled it and gave it hay and water. After several phone calls we worked out horse it was so I put a headcollar on it and lead it back to their yard to be greeted with a torrent of abuse along the lines of "What are you doing with my effing horse".
 
Oh dear, that is incredibly rude. When I was a teenager, we moved my retired horse and his mate to our farm and one night some of the local kids let them out for a 'laugh' (hilarious). One of the guys that worked on our farm tracked them down the road to a neighbouring farm and retrieved them from one of their paddocks (where they'd been shut in for their safety by the farmers). By the next day, my dad still hadn't gone down the road to say thank you to the neighbours for keeping our horses safe. I was mortified, so I went on their behalf. I think the farmer was somewhat bemused to see a 13-year old girl thanking him for keeping her horses safe, but no sign of her parents.
