Well.. today I was stuck because of the bloody weather so asked M to see to the mare.. she got to the stables to be greated by a snotty women demanding to know who she was (women that stables next to my horse.) Understanding that S is just concerned as mare can be 'sensitive' about people in her stable, M reasures her that she is helping me out by seeing to her and has loaned a horse for years and knows what she's doing around my mare so ko worries there.. I then get a frantic phone call from S saying somebody is in the barn feeding mare hay and bucket of feed.. I tell her it's fine and explain that I'm stuck and she is just helping me out, so she says okay and about ten mins later I get a phone call from M sounding rather upset as she's been questioned by S making her feel as though she is doing something wrong and then S shouting at my horse for barging her (she was abused and staved before she came to me and can be aggressive towards strangers when it come to food:(.) as she trys to take hay back out of stable because it's 'too much'!

So somehow I don't think M will be so happy to help next time! Sorry for the pointless post I'm just rather annoyed !
 
nice that S was concerned that someone strange was in your mares stable, but you need to talk and say to her in future you will text her and let her know if someone other than you is doing the horse and that you would never ask anyone who was not completely competent,
 
Yes I see your point and I did thank S for her concern and the YM did know.. The point that I got annoyed is after I had told her it was okay and she went on to question M and put her self in danger by going into my horses stable and taking the hay out knowing that we are trying our best with her but she still behaves the way she does towards people she is unsure about.
 
nice that S was concerned about your horse but that was a bit OTT of her to be taking hay out of the stable (if i read that right?) after it had been given by M, she shouldn't have interfered after being told by you that M had permission to see to your horse.

in that way i can totally understand where you are coming from!

Yes you read it right! Nice to know I wasn't over reacting lol.. I think I will just go and sit with my hot choc and laugh because if I don't I may cry at how annoying today has been; roll on summer ay!:o
 
Thank S for her concern but explain once you've said helper is okay you would like her to be left alone & S not to interfere with what she is doing. Also explain with your mares issues that S is not to got into her box to remove food that has been put in there, no matter what she thinks. If she has a major issue with the amount of hay she should tell YM who can discuss it with you. If you phrase this in such a way as to convince her that is purely for her own safety & your concern for her, then hopefully she wont be offended & cause more problems.
