-Not my horse im giving up on!!
grin.gif


Im at a private yard and we have a few horses who are looked after by some people who care and some who dont.
None are nelgected, just not checked on propely etc.

Two are owned by two pony clubbers (they are fab!)
Three owned by me (also fab, OBV!)
Two by a numpty who is hopefully leaving

(typical, 'i know more than your vet tw@t')
One by a young girl who is lovely but works too much and rarely comes up at all during the Mon-Fri.
One by a girl i made friends with but just doesnt seem to care... we'll call her 'A'

Now 'A's horse is a lovely thing, she never checked on it all winter (nor paid the livery but thats not my problem)
Come summer she decides shes going to start riding out etc, fittening her very fat pony up.
We ride out together (sooooo lovely to have company!!) for around 4 weeks most evenings.
Her horse is hard to catch, and after a while she starts to not come up anymore, ignoring my texts when i ask if shes riding.

I leave it, get on with riding alone (Sob Sob)

Every few weeks i get an odd text 'Hey, you riding tomorrow?'
'Yes i reply, you coming up'
'Yes' she says, 'text me what time'

Duly i text and everytime she never turns up so i carry on alone.

Then, she has this brainwave, shes going to get a NH guy up... Up he comes (as does she, shock horror!) he tells her she needs to muzzle her fat pony (No Sh1t sherlock) Take her out for long, gentle hacks (as above!) and she'll be easier to catch (whatever!)

So, again, i offer to take her to our local tack shop (she cant drive and lives a fair bit from the farm) and as soon as we get to the part where we discuss the time to meet up- her texts stop and i have heard nothing since!!

Shall i just give up? She text me saying she wanted to sell the horse a few weeks ago and i ignored it for two days then felt guilty and replied!

Maybe she has other commitments, a family, husband and kids. Not all of us can spend 24/7 at the yard.

I sometimes ask to ride out but cant make it.

How do you know she isn't coming up? Some on my yard my think i don't come up for weeks on end, but i come up when everyone else is at work, so rarely see anyone.

Id just leave her to it.
 
Sorry should add, shes 22yo and lives at home with her parents, works part time in a cinema.

Do you ask to ride out then not bother to tell the person you arranged with that you cant make it? Time after time?
A simple 'sorry i cant make it text' is hardly difficult.

(If she had a husband/kids i'd understand more)

The farmer constantly asks if ive heard from her (he'd see her if she was up) and her stable is never touched so i can take a 99% guess shes not been up!
 
I think you'll have to give up on her and get on with your own thing. She's obviously unreliable, shame for the horse though.
