If you hadn't got a horse of your own.You are a fairly novice/ slightly nervous rider and you want to go on a farm ride with a friend.A livery at the yard you work at every now and again has agreed to let you borrow your very favourite pony.The one that you ride particularly if you have had a bit of a fright and need comfort and confidence.A teenager.Signed A Grumpy Old Woman.
 
Of course I would :eek: Shocked that someone wouldn't to be honest :(

One of the girls on my yard let me ride one of her mares and I thanked her for it and I was only on her for about 10 minutes :)
 
Maybe she is so awestruck that common sense and poiliteness has been lost - i am sure she will come to her senses soon - if not i would be doing a very very very grumpy old lady impression about the youth of today !
 
I would have! Even as a teenager without any pocket money im sure Mum would have lent me some to buy choccies or wine or something! Esp for a fun ride - They arent short! (was there travel involved?)

Mind you - Teenagers now are not what they used to be!!!
 
I absolutely would've.. :) Not all of us are that bad! But agreed, if she doesn't thank you for it I'd be doing a grumpy 'kids today' impression too :D
 
I let a nervous nelly borrow my gelding this week, just for a 20 min confidence boosting hack round the estate at a walk ... and she sneakily put £10 in my bin with a little note "For carrots, Thank you!" .... Proper gratitude will get you everywhere - she's welcome to him again hahaha
 
One of the liveries offered me a ride on her horse.I refused actually but I still said, Its very kind of you to offer thankyou very much.Amazing really!Its next week so we will see about the chocolates butnot holding my breathe.
 
I certainly would, probably accompanied by a big cheesy smile :D lol I probably say thank you to much though!!! I even said thanks to the vet when she put my horse to sleep!!
 
Yes! I say thank you probably about a million zillion times whenever I'm allowed to ride any of the other horses that the family I share with owns - I feel proud to be thought of as capable to do so, and always enjoy it...I can see why you're annoyed.
 
Errr yes I would. I took Toffee out with my friends newly broken Arab, who proved a pretty unflappable ride, and we hacked over to the ladies yard who broke her to say thank you!!! Its only polite
