My sister is driving me up the wall. For the past 15 years we have shared a yard. It was my place but when she moved her mare back from the Peak District I let her move on with mine.
We separated the horses when he mare died and she bought two tb's as the one was a bit on the aggressive side and since then we looked after our own animals, only helping each other out occasionally if necessary.
I work 12 hour days and my daughter does the horses after school while I am working unless my work days fall on the the weekend which means I go up in the dark during winter to feed and chuck hay out but I can't see to muck out and to be honest as there are now only two ponies its not an issue if I can't muck out over the weekends as we can do the lot on the monday when Hannah is back from her dads.
My sister has been going round telling people how I don't go up and that she has looked after all the horses all winter. She also said I never go up when I am with my boyfriend on my days off, which again is BS as he mucks out while I prepare my feeds and haynets etc. My best friend is the only person who helps me and he mucks out when Dave and I are working. I am livid! I work bloody hard and never ask for help and yet she insists its all her.
I want to smack her in the mouth, but, apart from the fact I am 42 and know better it could cause issues with her sharing with Hannah as they have just started sharing a 15.3hh cob we were given that Hannah adores and I can't risk my daughter loosing him as she adores him.
I am sick of having to justify why I can only do my horses after 8pm on work days. My sister has chosen to be a stay at home mum and has far more flexibility than me.
Sorry I have bottled this up for nearly a week and needed a good moan xx
