Small livery grumble - feel free to ignore!

[ArabianGem78]

my fellow liveries are lovely people, but my goodness are they untidy! I got to the yard this morning to find:

gates left open
padlocks left off gates
stable doors wide open
barrows unemptied
a broom on the stable roof (how?!)

Muttered under my breath and sorted it all out....

Just as well my yard is otherwise lovely!

Security I can understand but why are you tidying up their mess? Shield your eyes from it, grit your teeth and concentrate on your own area!

 

[Hazel and Arnold]

I totally understand, same with me - They empty water buckets in the gateways so we now have mud, some of them don't even come down once a week, which I find very very strange.

I say have a big shout and a head flip the next time it happens. It wont solve the issues long term (trust me i head flip at least once a week) but it will start to make people think!

My last headflip was no wheelbarrow to use. One was being used as a type of barrier by the new school!! one was abandoned on the yard full and one was still a BBQ from three weeks previously!

Gates being left open is my BIG thing. I just CANNOT understand why you would leave gates open. Do these people not think about what would happen if a horse got free on a road!

Most things just annoy me & I say nothing but yesterday - We have gates & post & rail fencing that can be slid across & into hook & left open or ... Shut again , but yesterday rails were just left dangling & this really annoyed me - so I took a photo text it to the offender & asked very politely for it not to be left like this again.. What is it with people that they can't shut a gate when they open it !!!!

It's the gates that are left open giving access to the busy Exeter to Sidmouth road that really bother me, particularly as one of the horses is a known escapologist. I've been toying with moving anyway, and this may just prove the turning point....

Grrrrr

I hate it when people CBA to empty the wheelbarrow they have used and leave it dumped on the yard.

We have electric fencing, and i get really annoyed when people leave their electric gateway dangling in the floor tick tick ticking away which then shorts out all the fencing.

Sounds like you just need to get them in the habit. Maybe a couple of "non snakey" Please close the gate signs?

It's really up to the yard manager or owner to keep things on track .
Love the brush on the roof what ever where they doing.

They've got them - that's the frustrating thing! And this morning wasn't a one-off. It's a regular occurance.

The yard manager is a lovely, 18 year old girl who doesn't like to rock the boat. Just as well I don't care!

yes, the mind boggles over the broom. I suspect one of the YO's sons....

 

[Persephone]

Grrrr....untidiness I can live with, but not gates left open.

 

[skint1]

Yeah, I can live with a certain level of untidiness, I am a bit untidy myself, but not gates open, that's so dangerous, and actually so is leaving the electric fencing to dangle, shorting it out!
