I've also thought of another one, I'm in a bad mood. People saying, in not so many words, "will anyone pay for the upkeep of my old, lame horse because I can only afford my young, healthy useful one?" FFS keep your own knackered horses or shoot them.

people using Parelli or the like as an excuse not to ride
people who use Parelli or the like and don't realise their horse is walking all over them
*doesn't hate Parelli, honest*

People who refuse to believe that my horse is sound and happy- he just doesn't move particularly well. Bet hey, he's 25, with a very chequered past who's done it all at least a million times, he's not really going to move like my sister's horse who is only 9. And, I do know how to ride him, it's just very difficult to ride a horse in a dressage test who is throwing all his toys before you've even entered the arena.
Btw, re the box rest. We felt it was safer to make a little pen for our pony in her field after she attempted to jump her stable door, before doing a rather impressive gallop on a 10m circle...

Well, this is going well, then. Glad I popped back
Just pleasantly light and vicious though, guys, I kind of take it as read that we all hate abuse and cruelty. This is just about that thing that just gets to YOU.
Another of mine is mothers who are convinced their 13 year old who has, to be sure, outgrown her 13.2hh, actually needs a 16.3hh event horse, because her all school chums have them.
It frightens the life out of me, they have neither the skills nor the strength to cope with these whacking great horses, and they are also missing out on all the fun of their childhood.
When I were a lass (yawn) we stayed on 14.2s to the very very last minute - some of the lads were tall, and still hanging on to that last chance to compete in ponies - and it was a hooley, it was such good FUN.
So yeh, kids on huge horses, way before they need to be.

I have more too........
People not putting the school back how they found it - jumps up and poo everywhere
Not clearing up their section of the yard so there is hay, hoof pickings etc everywhere.
Letting their dogs run loose round the yard and then not clearing up their crap.
Not locking the tack room and leaving all the yard lights on.
What did their last slave die of??
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes! Yes!! Yes and Yes to all of the above!!! Absolutely agree.
I just hope a few people in my barn at the yard are reading this!! Hint. Hint.

It is a general pet hate, but there is a post on here nearly every blooming day along the same lines.

I've got a very simple one that makes me mad. People on the yard with me who insist on feeding my horses treats, even when I've asked them not to.
"It's OK, it's herbal"
"It's only once in a while"
"I don't want him to feel left out"
"Oh, they looked sorry for themselves"
None of the above are acceptable reasons. Do I feed their bl**dy kids sweets and E numbers? (Not yet I don't, but that could change...).

I hate it when cars pass you really slowly then as they are level with you they rev the engine and put their foot down.
One more . . . people buying rugs to big and then going 'oh its slipped back, i wonder why?'

Hmm I may have wandered in to something I don't quite understand
But - the thing that makes me cringe (now that I have the horses at home so don't have all the livery ones to agree to!) is when people pull stirrups down by just hauling on the stirrup iron. Noooooooo - first take the leathers out from where you neatly tucked them in, then lift the stirrups slightly and ease them down the leathers
The noise of a stirrup scraping against the leather is like nails on a blackboard to me
Yes I know, I'm weird

Well..... MY hate is seeing people (esp overweight on non-weight carrying horses) going cross country where they sit on their arse the whole way round and expect the poor horse to be able to haul them over the fences!! For god's sake get your stirrups up abd get out of the saddle!!
I also hate (at SJ events) riders bollocking/hitting the living crap out of their horses for refusing a fence when it was blatantly rider error!!!! Makes my blood boil. However, generally good old karma steps in and sees them dumped on their arse at some point! Lol (still bet the poor horse gets it in the neck!)

Seeing a poor horse on my way home everyday that is thethered alone in a huge field. It always looks so sad. I wan't rescue it
Other pet hate is seeing horses in field full of ragwort! BAD BAD BAD!!! There are three horses (One foal) in a field at the moment which is riddled with the stuff. It is all brown and dying, but isn't it still poisonous? Can I do anything?

OMG, yes! That is awful. And people who use scissors really badly to cut their cob's feather. So it leaves them with great chunks. Eugh.

I admit I ride when hacking (unless going fast) on a long rein, it's time for my Mare to chill out and this way she can relax, spooks less because of it and just enjoy her ride and the scenery.
But things I hate is; Horses in stables with no hay, Horses getting no turnout, horses not warmed up or cooled down, horses blamed for everything and called 'stupid' when in fact it is the 'stupid' owners for not knowing, making the effort to learn or admit they are wrong! Horses smacked or hit for daring to move whilst being tied up (I mean, we all need to shift weight!)
