why does everything have to be so complicated?

i am soooo cross!!

i have been so excited as my freind invited D and myself to go to a dressage comp with her and her horse as she has qualified for lincoln and needs an outing before she goes. She has borrowed a lorry and has offered to ride D for me. I have been waiting for such an offer for a while now as i just wanted an experienced rider to do our first comp to see how he behaves so that i can have the confidence to do it myself ( have the 4x4 and trailer up till now unused!

)
Any way i booked the day off work for friday, sent the entries off, ect ect. have just phoned for the times and numbers and it an EVENING event!

No where on the 'ad' on horse dates does it say 'evening' nor does it mention it on the schedule/entry form. My freind is now scrabbing about to see if she can find a babysitter and also if we can borrow the lorry at that time!

i have just called the venue (the jays in bury st edmunds) this morning to ask if they would transfer the cheque to a future show only to be told in no uncertain terms that it was my fault and that 'rules were rules' and she was going to have my money! I politely pointed out that i thought she was being very unfair as i had seen on all their other dates that they had stated 'evening' if it was evening so that i considered that i was justified in thinking it was daytime as it hadnt stated 'evening' anywhere. She was very rude, so i have lost 2 horses entry money. I didnt particulally want the money back just transfered to another time.
Oh well - we live and learn dont we. How disapointing x

just to clarify the actual facts here.

the schedule did state start time 6pm prompt. As i pointed out to you on the telephone.

On the telephone i did state that if you had told me when you phoned for times that you thought it was daytime and would possibly have issues getting in for the evening, i could of filled your space and arranged a refund for you as other people were phoning back after the calls for times for any uncollected times. as the evening was full.

i am afraid the evening needs to be full in order to cover the running costs of staging the event.

I am sorry but i certainly was not rude to you, the rules are clear on the schedule and i run to these so that i am fair and equal to everyone and favour no one.then there is no misunderstanding and no favouritism
