whats your bitchiest moment ob a yard?

The main one I can think of..

I was 10 and loaning a little sec a off this girl's mum on this yard, they were into all PC camps/meets etc...I had done local showing before but was still very much a novice. The little pony took the mick out of my constantly, bolted, bucked, dragged me and the girl who owned it used to say it was my fault etc etc and i wasn't a good rider - she had a 14.2hh arab x that cost them a bomb and she used to compete everywhere.

I left that yard and found another pony to loan - nothing special, 12.2hh dales x dartmoor mare, think she was around 15yro then too. Took her to a show, I'd only ridden her a couple of times but the owner was dying to see me jump her (eek, the pony was like a steam train and lived for jumping)

Chase me charlie.. it got down to just me and this girl in the class (she was 14 i think while i was 10) and the fence wasn't massive, maybe just over 3.5ft - whihc seemed huge to me.. cue my little pony flying it and her horse refusing.. i've never seen anyone look so peed off in my life.. it was goood

Wasn't at a yard but an in-hand class at a show, a woman complained to the judge of a class I was in because her horse didn't place, and didn't she know he ALWAYS placed at shows?! (When she was trotting him round, he was almost treading on her, with his head up in the air like a giraffe and turned to one side. Somehow, I think not lol)

Either that or when we did a treasure hunt ride and one of the girls on my team said the only reason we didn't win was because she was stuck in a team with people who couldn't ride ... if she wasn't 3 years younger than me I'd have decked the snotty little cow, as the only reason we weren't last was because I volunteered to take one of the little kids back to the yard because she was crying, THEN caught up with everyone else who were halfway round the route!
 
Many moons ago, thank goodness (but I'll never forget this) we were at a yard where there were two women (in their 40s) who considered themselves and their horses the bees knees. One winter they decided to buy in large-bale silage for their horses and invite certain carefully selected others to share it and the cost. I wasn't invited to join as I tried to keep myself to myself and just enjoy my horses and not get involved. However, these two women would grab an armful of silage and on the way past my horses' stables stop, let my horses take a mouthful, then snatch it away saying "Oh no, you haven't been invited". Top that for bitchiness - not to a human, but to a horse!! I ask you - that's pretty d*** weird!!
 
The NH witch at my old yard, who when my nieces were very young (around 6/7 years old) and were riding my sister's young welshiexTB in the school, nicely and minding their own business, the witch wandered past and said "ohhhh poor Chasey having to put up with those kids" to the pony and then to the children that he really didn't like them......!!!!

This was a pony that had grown up with these kids, adores attention, adores the children and is now a super PC pony who is often in the ribbons and much adored member of our family since he was 4 years old! Plus my sister and I have always been complete control freaks and very hard on the kids on behaviour, politeness to other liveries and care of their ponies, so it was completely out of order.

B*tch!!!

This was one of many digs and snipes and nasty things she would say to virtually anyone she thought she could bully. She was typically scared whitless of her own horses, so would regularly wait till someone was for example, just getting on their newly backed, young horse at the mounting block (all nice and calm and fine for a baby) - the witch waits till the person has their leg just over the saddle to settle down and says "ooohhhh her back is up ready to ditch you" or nervous rider out hacking with her "ohhh your horse looks like its going to kill you....."!!!!!!

Yes I did get the last word after many years of everyone biting their tongues. Interestingly she never did it directly in front of or to me, as always picked on the less confident or less bolshy

types. When I tackled her in a reasoned and calm manner about a particular issue, she accused me of bullying her, even though I had independent witnesses that said it was no such thing and in fact I was very restrained and polite

Thankfully she left the yard shortly after, not far enough though as just over the road, so I still see her regularly, but we happily pretend that neither one of us exists in the others world and all is peaceful!!!!!

One was when a snobby livery at my old yard was riding in the school with me and her horse spooked and she said it was 'because he thought there was a cow in the school' (my pony is skewbald)

Another, at the same yard was when a girl said my pony 'wouldn't cope' jumping the kind of things she jumped on her pony as she went to proper shows and we would never be good enough! (Well, we sure showed her!

And at current yard the YO is a b!tch and thinks she knows everything and is always making snide comments to me about my horses.

Hopefully, I will be moving soon though!
 
The day I found out the YM's mother had been advertising my horse for meat money. I almost killed her.

She wasn't even for sale.

Dumb cow refused to accept I existed, telling people to discuss the sale with my mother, not me, and running to my mother complaining about me being on the yard grooming my own horse.

Mother had to explain several times that I groomed my horse, because it WAS my horse. But it went over her head.
Sent FC to stud and have only been back to the yard once. And that was NOT to see YM or her mother!!!
