Sat here in tears. Hoping someone will be able to help.
As lots of you know, we've had a tough 6 months with Josie completely doing her suspensory, surgery or PTS were the only options.
She's recovered well, better than expected, but still a long way to go.
She's out in the big field now. There is one mare there, who is terrible, she's smashed one horses leg, kicked another's eye, put a hole in anothers bum and chases continuously.
Now the thing that gets me, is the owner doesn't come down to this mare, she gets done by pittying people on the yard.
Josie has been going out in the morning, and the mare after, so Josie doesn't get chased. She's still not meant to be doing canter work for another 6 months.
This morning, yard owner comes and says mare has to go out all day, as it's not fair it being stuck in, as other people are having to muck it out.
I've just been down and put her out with the them all. Josie now has 2 cuts, and has been chased for half an hour solid. What I'm going to find later, who knows. Honestly, I might be putting her down, as I cant see her leg standing up to all that.
She's in her stable calming down now.
Daughter of YO came down and asked what the fuss was about. I explained. She said there's always a drama with me and it's prob better I just F*ck (sorry) off. The mare's going out, as the others all deal with it ok, and thats that!
I have no where to go! I'm so upset. I know they dont like me and my horse, they never have. I moved last year because of it, but it didn't work out because Josie was out with a rig, and having hormonne probs, it didn't help.
I need her out to keep her sane. We can only walk and trot for another 6months, not eneough work to keep her sane, without turnout, and, she's a horse, she needs tuing out.
Ideally I need somewhere she'll be out for at least 6 hours, not in a huge group. Decent menage, and people to ride with, she's V nappy.
Please Please help. I've struggled for 6 months with this, she's my pride and joy, but feel like I'm going to fall at the last hurdle now.
Sorry it's been so long, and a bit garbled, cant shake the image of her being chased through 25 acres with that bad leg out of my mind.
