I love the yard we are at, i got my own stables etc, get on well with YO, he does things for us. The facilities are good and the hacking is brill.
The only down side is his daughter, shes 17 and goes to horse college. She has been good to us but i get so annoyed that she tells me how to care for my horses and its normally wrong advice.
She lends my stuff and never leaves it back in the same place, she took my new rug as her horse ripped hers. She left it back miggin, saying that my horse was going to dirty it anyway. My lunge rein and whip is left out in the arena, and she goes into my stable block with her horse to lend my things, including my saddle when she has one of her own. My horse doesnt like hers as hers attacked mine, so Mae will put her head over the door and put her ears back, so she scolds Mae, says that she will help discipline my lot.
When i took Mae to the show, she scoffed that Mae wasnt a jumper and that i was making a fool of myself. Its really knocked my confidence in taking her to a show! She tells me to put Murphy and Angel to sleep as they cant be rode that often. She told me to put Mae back in foal again this year but i said no, that i was doing it next year, so she says that she wont hold as she had the years break.
If i ride mae infront of her she says im too soft with her, i should be bringing her head in by sawing her mouth, but once mae settles she brings her head in nicely for me. She reared with this girl when she rode her so now i dont let her, yet she still asks.
Im getting really pissed off, yous guys helped me get a new diet for Mo (hes loving it btw) and she said that its totally wrong and i should stick to the diet she suggested. Yous said conditioning cubes, speedibeet and alpha a. She said 1 scoop of cool mix a day and a half scoop of apple chaff. Then leave a bale of haylage infront of his stable but he gets fizzed up on this.
OH lunges Mo before he rides and she scoffs saying that a good rider doesnt need to lunge before riding.
I tried to tell her that she is using her draw reins too harshly (didnt say it in those words), her horses head is so far in that her chin is touching her chest. She didnt listen until her horse reared with frustration.
I guess you get someone like this at any yard, when shes at college about 100 miles away, you cant get rid of me at the yard lol.
