Before I start don't get me wrong i love my yard it's amazing, I just wish a certain person could keep there self to there self if that makes sense, basically,I was grooming the blonde one, and there was a 'clump' of mud on her back leg, I tried grooming it off,and she squeeled and kicked out! Turns out this mud was a cut in her leg! Oh god, she has been kicked in the field right on her muscle, poor girl :( obvious why she kicked! I felt bad for trying to brush it off :P! And then a girl come over and basically laughed in my face.. "Ooh she nearly took your head of then" is what I got, um no she caught my finger! I'm not surprised she kicked out, I would if I had a gaping cut! Grrr! And then I tacked her up and rode her around the ménage just so she didn't stiffen up(she wasn't lame btw just stiff) and girl was on her horse in there and her horse started backing up into mine, and hun has been very protective of her back end and her personal space today(no wonder :/!) and she put her ears back, and she screams"don't you even dare hunni or you will have it" or something along those lines! It was her horse backing up into mine! She is now in her stable after it being washed down, purple sprayed and had some leg ice on. My poor girl, I wish I had my glasses on, I probably would of noticed it was a cut and not mud :') after a lot of crying( not felt the best anyway and that child makes it worse) I'm at home say by the fire with my dog, lets hope tomorrow goes better and she leaves me and my hunni alone!
Cookies if you got this far.
 
I'm totally not understanding why, if you knew your horse was feeling sensitive about personal space, as it appears you were as well, you got anywhere near the other girl and her horse, unless it is a very small menage in which case I'd question your sanity in going in there with another horse, let alone one being ridden by someone you obviously can't stand.
 
No, I was in there first. And she was in the middle and I was walking past on the'track' and her horse backed up to mine, I'm not rude so I'm not going to tell her to get out for two reasons, one her mom and dad own the yard and two I'm not rude :)
 
Haha DSB, I wish I could! Her mum and dad own the yard though :D! And the two horses can be ok together sometimes and have been in the same field together before, but he is known for kicking!
 
The OP said the other horse was backing into hers and the other person threatened her horse. I would be livid. I would also look for somewhere else. I would like to add I have also mistaken an injury for mud, s*it happens.

Ahhh lovely, just what she needed. If you pop to the shops Hic, you only need to ask for a bottle of 'tact and diplomacy' and all will be well..... :)
 
I am, fair enough she is younger than me, but it upsets me when anything is said about my horses, because she can't defend herself! I'm just going to plug earphones in and sing my worries away :D
 
If it makes you feel better I once tried to pick off my mares belly button after a long days hunting in a gloomy stable. She did try to take my head off and I really can't blame her!
 
Why is it you always get at least one person on a livery yard whos like this, I'm sure she does it because you are a nice person and not rude, she sounds a nasty piece of work sometimes it does work to tell them where to go , I'm sure it would be a shock to her if you did. Don't let it upset you she's probably just jealous :)
 
Sounds like you're over-reacting to me. Either the cut was serious enough for her to be dramatic about it and riding her was a bad idea, or the cut is nothing to worry about and making excuses for her being "sensitive" is just silly. It doesnt sound like the girl did anything to me anyway - you clearly dislike her. I also fail to see how her horse could be in the middle of a school, your mare on the track and them be anywhere near each other, unless your school is positively tiny...
 
I think that you're over reacting, probably as you're feeling ill and bad (for no reason) for missing her cut.

From where the other girl was standing it might have looked like she was kicking at your head. It might also be why she is paranoid when her horse looked as though it may be kicked. Next time just politely suggest that she doesn't let her horse back up into yours and there won't be a problem, then forget about it. I very much doubt she would dare lay into your horse with a whip, especially if her mum and dad were about! Shes just all mouth, and thats easy to fight - silence and ignoring them!

You hear about a lot of worse situations on here at livery yards.
 
Well,no I'm not, I have a lot of experienced people behind me with the cut, it obviously hurt her, but yo said to get on and take her for a walk just to keep it moving,I wouldn't make excuses,if it was my fault I'd own up! And her horse was backing up because she was trying to get on for about 5+ mins, so ended up backing up into me, it is hard to move when u have a horse behind you, the fence one side and a horse backing up into you! But she still blames my horse? O.O i never disliked her for no reason, she is a complete b**** to everyone on the yard as I was told today, she has made other people cry, but no one wil do anything about it as her mom and dad own the yard as I've said before, we used to get on, but she completely changed for no reason one day. Clodagh hehe! I wasn't aware they had one :0!
 
Honey08 nope! She said it to wind me up, and she had a smug look on her face, the other liveries came over to me when she disappeared and said that it was just rude, but apparently she is known for it !
 
I expect you all to go and examine your horses tummies tomorrow morning! They do, I promise, its not very big though.
 
I shall be finding my horses belly button tomorrow and inspecting it for belly fluff. Can't believe I've never realized this :eek:
 
Mine loves her lower belly scratched and have never felt anything :o! Belly fluff :D teehee, thanks for cheering me up, I feel a bit better as one of the liveries have text me saying it happened to her some time ago and to ignore it and get on with whatever, anyone got any calming music recommendations? ;)
 
Big hugs! If it was me I'd be weighing up the situation tbh. If the yard is otherwise perfect apart from the daughter then to be honest I would simply ignore her. By the sounds of it the other liveries have her card firmly marked and it may be that she knows that she can either get away with it with you or that she can get a reaction out of you - if the other liveries tell her to bug off and ignore her she may be wanting some attention! If there are other problems then it's a matter of weighing up the pro's and cons of staying versus looking for somewhere else. I've had a clash of personalities on one yard several years ago now whereby we simply ignored each other for the best part of two years without a problem, however, when the turnout got reduced drastically, the arena became out of bounds unless you booked (at an extortionate price) to use it privately, hay and bedding prices increased and you couldn't source it elsewhere and then additional stables got built without thinking about the turnout so fields ended up even more overcrowded then I did move on.
As for trying to brush off a cut - we've all done it! I once spent several minutes brushing a lump on the inside of my boy's back leg, trying to figure out why the mud wouldn't shift, before remembering the cream the vet had left to put on the sarcoid..... and yes the cream did shift it far more effectively than the body brush! In weather like this it's easily done, they're so covered in mud it's hard to tell what's what.
