What turns you off a yard or what are your yard pet peeves?

a yo who thinks a single strand of wire will hold a fat greedy cob et al at bay.
Turnout on a stubble field knee deep in mud in winter, with a single strand of leckie tape ( not powered )to keep a herd in.
" your pouring water out of the bucket in the morning, just half fill it" :mad:
My all time favourite, "dont pour away that water youve soaked that hay net in, re use it for the next one " :eek::eek:
Its DIY, if you want to dictate about horse care, faff of and learn something about horses ya plonker :D
 
Mess.....I HATE messy yards!! No excuse for it!!

Fields full of poo.....

Arenas with droppings left in due to lazy liveries

People using jumps and not putting things back as they find them (IE tidy where they should be stored)

People who leave lights on

Know it alls that know nothing :rolleyes:

Not scooping up muck on the muck trailer

I could write all day long for things that annoy me!!
 
Looking for a wheelie and finding it full of muck AGAIN outside messy bi*tches stable because she cant be bothered to empty it and when she does eventually empty it (or someone does it for her!) its dumped about 3ft away from the muck heap :mad:

I cant understand why people can't just clean up after themselves! If everyone did a little bit then the whole place would be kept clean and tidy!
 
Ignorant people who break yard rules especially when they smoke around my horse! Also people who don't clean up after their selves or horses e.g manure left on pathway, hoof clippings left after the farriers as been etc also snobby people who think they know it all haha

See I couldn't be doing with sharing tools like that. Not sure how it works on big yards or part livery etc, but I am on a tiny yard with only three other people, and we all have our own stuff. I don't mind people using my stuff by any means, but it would do my head in to have to literally share stuff and wait for barrows etc!
 
Decent unrestricted turnout, with safe fencing & well managed is a priority, so hate anything less.
Otherwise, adults. Not all, just the awful, annoying ones who take themselves too seriously, for no apparent reason, & seem to think that makes them better than any children on the yard. While ime the opposite is usually true.
Bad yard management. I'm on cheap farm diy, so I don't expect farmer at my beck & call. But, stuff like fence repairs, a dodgy light we had, a horse not looked after etc he does act swiftly.
Never use haynets for routine feeding, but when I do, I agree the knot has to be at the base.

Apart from me stealing your brush every night! :p
 
I agree with chapter two, however if the yo and liveries dont mind me tidying the place up then i can live with it, sadly they tend to think i am trying to take over, when it is also for them at the end of the day. I am not asking them to turn their hand to a bit of work,
 
:D I was just thinking about this tonight, as I undid the 4th haynet put up by our new girl...


I HATE HATE HATE when people tie haynets up with the knots on the end of the string rather than by the net.... REALLY annoys me (to a really ridiculous level if Im honest !!)
I thought I was the only one! Does my head in :o
