OMG why are people soooo b*tchy like seriously are all livery yards full of people who think there gods gift to horse riding and have something to say about everything! Really annoys me haha ... someone said to my friend today that i ride with my legs far back (after saying to my face "were the only 2 at the yard with good positions" i think not) maybe it was because i was asking for canter, sholder in, leg yield!!! (now im making excuses ) lmao hmmm i think shes a tad jealous cuz mi beast is sooo awesome but like serious you dont even ride ur horse dude! ... "OMG you dont feed your horse enough" umm does my horse look skinny?? i think NOT ... oh heres my fav " your horse is to fit, is he going to race again!" ummm personally i think there is no such thing as toooo fit ... the fitter the better hehe ... but serious ive only been at like two yards and there both super b*itchy! Are all yards the same or are there nice NON btchy people out there lol

On a good note i got my saddle back wooooo ... horse is moving so much better even got a proper leg yield to the left and a couple good shoulder ins And then he got a refreshing bath as it was like 20 degrees :O

Jaffa cakes all round hehe

My yard is the complete opposite - everyone helps each other and there is no bitching so I don't envy you! Then again though - my yard has no schools etc so at least you're gaining from that aspect hehe!

I hate livery yards lol. I love having my horses and just doing what I feel like without people feeling the need to judge it. If I wanted judging or advice, I'd ask for it [which I do!]. Especially when people would comment on my mare's weight [being app under weight] being under, how little food she got and how much she was overworked....when they themselves had obesely overweight cobs on the verge of laminitis who's 'heavy workload' conisisted of a napping walk round the school and to the end of the drive on a leadrein from hubby...I'm hardly inclined to take their thoughts seriously My mare for the record was typical get fat on air pony, was doing pony club, XC, showjumping [4ft+ then], dressage, hacking, getting hunting fit and was going to do a bit of pony racing, so was fit as a flea!

Anywho...I'll do what I do really. My horses are for me and my leisure, not to keep the nosy nora's of livery yards happy. I know what's best for them more than anyone and should I need help or advice, I'll gladly turn to the knowledgable contacts I have to help me with which ever problem, should that be our vet, farrier, instructor, boss, etc.
