Following on from the incident in which I threw a stone at a horse known to be a spiteful kicking bee-atch who once broke another horse's leg, and exchanged words with her owner (he invited me to do something revolting and intimate to his giblets, and then not only questioned the legitimacy of my birth but made some VERY rude and disrespectful references to my mother) - I called him a big fat coward (used stronger language, obv) I found out today he lodged a complaint, asking that I be thrown off yard and banned from whole residential complex. Interestingly he didn't mention the abuse he hurled at me, or bother to clarify that the stone didn't actually hit his horse.... C tried to reason with him, pointing out that aside from the coward jibe (which he was living up to MOST admirably) I'd not insulted him personally at all, and that his behaviour has, throughout, been far worse than mine (especially considering he's a cheap git who won't even provide pevidone for his horses so I've been treating his free of charge on the grounds that horses can't help the eejits who own them...)
ANYWAY the upshot of this is that he's in fact shot himself in the foot because I was supposed to start work on Monday as groom while Luis is on holiday. However, as I have a complaint against me, I'm not allowed to work, Fabian is off as he's working all weekend and they can't get anyone to do the horses. SO I shall be going on Monday and mucking out PF and A, and probably BOF's 2 aswell and then shooting off home.
I'll probably relent and feed and water all the other because I'm not the unspeakable turd and bully that this other chap is, but horses will remain in stables all day.
I thought i'd mention the bullying because, for a brief period, a young mexican lad was being shown the ropes to cover for the boys. However, boy was clearly not up to the task, appearing to be rather slow and dopey. It emerged that he was quite heavily drugged to prevent convulsions since he caught encephalomyelitis (sp?) and spent god knows how long in a coma. Anyhoo, it was apparent that this chap wouldn't be up to the task of looking after horses, not least because he just didn't have the experience (or reflexes!) WHO do you think picked on him telling him he was no good, until he was nearly in tears?????
God, I hate bullies!!! And he always picks on those least able to defend themselves; me because I don't own a property there, so have the least rights of anyone at the yard, and the mexican boy because he wasn't playing with a full deck...
I WILL be composing a letter of counter-complaint...
