Why do some people need to be so F***ing two faced.

Won't say who or what as walls have ears and all that but why/how can someone not say a private word to one person about something they feel is potentially detrimental to a horse but yet can tell someone else who it has nothing to do with in a very blunt manner?!?!

This person has made several comments recently about my horse and the way I keep them to several other people but won't say it to me. errr WHY!??!?!

My horses are sound and happy, yes I may not be the most pristine person (read not spirit levelled beds and only grooming where tack goes

) but I look after them far more than adequately and am the first to question any deviations to their health/wellbeing.

I am getting very close to just asking them outright what their problem is but I haven't so far as for multiple reasons including it probably not in my best interests to do so!

thanks rant over just needed to vent after hearing more of what they have said about me today.
 
I do but who it is and how they make the comments which angers me as they are putting me and some of my friends in some very uncomfortable situations. I'm not the only target to the comments and often I am the 'confident' about others which just stirs me further.

I love the yard I'm on for a lot of reasons which is why I have been there about 6 years now but if it continues much longer I would seriously think about moving which I would hate to do...

I take it it's the YO who is bitching behind your back then? Otherwise you'd have confronted the individual & wouldn't be considering moving.

Why? Because some people never progress further than the mentality of the playground.

Ignore them.

If they carry on, tell them that they should report you to the RSPCA or shut up!

They have to learn to poop in the pot or get off it!
 
If said person is doing this to others also, then don't worry, because they will all realise this person is just a trouble maker and everything they say should be taken with a pinch of salt.
 
yes not just to me and everyone knows it!

They confronted me today about one thing, though started to do so with a sly comment! Was able to put straight a few things to get answers of 'oh, right then' back!

Still the underlying nark I have with them is that they are continuously making comments to other people about Dan being lame, they did so again today. Why can't they just say it to me?

Also I know they are basing the claim of him being 'crippled' again on seeing him jog for a few strides (so looking crippled) in amongst an entire schooling session where he was sound. the only reason he jogged was because he was evading doing some half pass!

I know he starts his sessions a bit stiff for 5-10mins but for a horse who has been diagnosed with navicular, bone spavins and arthritis you wouldn't expect anything less. Once warmed up though he is sound, everyone else who sees him agrees including a very good friend who's job it was to pick up less than 1/10ths lamenesses. If she says he is sound I am inclined to believe her!

I am not worried about what they say it just continually grates me that they can't say it to my face. I know its not personal as they do it to everyone. They are going down in everyone's opinion very fast as it has got worse recently. We have decided their problem is they crave attention and me and a few others who tend to be the ones picked on are fairly independent. I see this person at weekends only as I'm only up in the evenings in the week by time they are at home. And even then I can go weeks without seeing them....
