Now would I be a Kentish lass, or a lass of Kent?

I've been getting more and more miserable because of one of our liveries...

She has green eyes like nothing else on this earth and has been after my grazing since the grass came through. She has told me to move Dorey onto 24/7 grazing despite the fact she needs to be on box rest (in short, she just wanted me to leave!), then she started moving my things around in the tack room just so she could have extra room for hers (I had the smaller corner as I joined the yard last! So already had no space!) but now she's been moving all the fences into my fields so her horse a) eats all my grass and b) is encouraged to escape just because she can't see Dorey eating my grass so I obviously don't need it!

She has also been flicking her muck into my hay barn onto my hay, she leaves her horses poo in my fields when she escapes, she is the bane of our lives where the electric fencing is concerned (either not turning it on, tying things onto it to short it, not putting it up right etc etc etc).

It's just so pathetic. Why the hell can she not just either get on with owning a horse instead of bullying the others on the yard? She has as much room as me in terms of horse to field proportion (her horse is much smaller than Dorey!) but leaves her gates open so she never rests them! Why is this everyone elses fault?

Anyway, situation currently diffused in that she has had her fields confiscated and replaced by fields not bordering mine and that have heavy wooden fences so she can't move them. I've also been given a new tack room (with more space :D :D )

But any idea what gives her her kicks from driving a girl half her age to tears over a strip of grass?
 
Yard politics! So pathetic, but it happens everywhere, so don't worry and be the better person ;) at my yard, it's not the kids that gossip and make rumours - it's the adults!
 
They do it because they can. Some people are not fit to share a yard with others and go all out to cause trouble every chance they get. I'm glad you have been given a bit of breathing space by her being moved, there is nothing worse than a bully on a yard making life hell for the other liveries, however they go about it.
 
Such a trivial thing to get worked up over :rolleyes:

It's not the physical acts that annoy me, it's when you ask her to stop she has some excuse somewhere, blames everyone else and then if all else fails she tells me I deserve it because I have more grazing :(

Don't even get me started on how she treats Dorey if I'm not around.

Who chases a critically lame horse round a field having let it out of it's restricted pen and then boasts to the owner it was "like a benny hill film"!!!!!

So why are you whining about her moving things in the tack room rather than telling us how you roasted her for this?

Since when has Dorey been "critically" lame - I've clearly missed this - last I heard she was slightly uneven, clearly things have progressed? Do you have a diagnosis?
