Manners my ar*e!

[Qru]

Just have to have a mini rant on here!
There's one woman on my yard who seems to have it out for my horse - always yelling at him to "stand!" at the top of her voice if he even so much as lifts a toe (or hoof ) and always tells me that "that horse needs to learn some manners."
Well.
He doesn't bite, buck, rear or kick. He stands for the farrier, vet, physio and he loads into a box/trailer like an angel.
He's never chucked me off, napped towards the gate or kicked me in the face and given me a black eye (her horse has done all of the above!)
Basically, he just likes people to know that he's there - because he thinks he's a sexy little beastie that deserves all the attention - so if he's left standing for too long he paws the ground and if you have food hell nuzzle you (yes nuzzle, NOT bite or nip) until you give in.
I don't think any of that is so bad, so why does she have such a stick up her ar*e about a horse that's not hers?!
Heh. Rant over cookies and milk for everyone! (or an alcoholic beverage may be more required )

Just because she's jealous and trying to bring your handsome beastie down!
He sounds just like mine- although Bailey can be mannerless at time when trying to raid pockets

Characteristic! Is the word.
Can't help otherwise sorry but your fella probably doesn't give a monkeys anyway- but if she touches him your perfectly within your right to report.

Tell the old bat to learn some manners herself. Shouting at someone's horse when the owner is present is incredibly rude.

I would just laugh in her face and ask her what planet she lives on!

this is probably why I can't be on a livery yard, people make me too angry!

 

[putasocinit]

Tell her to fox trot oscar (f...off)

OP, she's just jealous - and rude. Just ignore her and enjoy your lovely boy

Every time she yells stand Id be yelling shut it. if horse aint doing nowt then leave it alone, if its booting hell out the door or being a thug then fine.

 

[WandaMare]

She's a control freak, tell her to chill out and leave your sexy little beastie alone
