People sorting their own comfort before their horse's. This is my real bugbear, I suspect because I can't do a thing about it and will appear hypercritical and interfering if I say anything. If you come in from a ride, jump off, change into your comfy boots, get your hat and gloves and coat off, and then get your phone out to post a picture to Facebook of "my muddy pony after our hack", with the poor thing standing there sweating, stirrups dangling, girth tight, and all your riding gear in the background, I will be judging you.
This was one of the 'Golden Rules' I learned as a child, along with the usual, feed according to work done, walk the first and last half mile, etc, etc. Every bookshelf should contain the Manual of Horsemanship.
