Following the dogs on yards thread does anyone's yard actually have set rules?
All the dogs I've known on yards have been well behaved and only appear for a quick fuss and to see if the farriers left anything tasty but stay clear of the horses.
But tonight to be honest I'm fuming at one livery, she lets her new dog have the run of place, uses other peoples mucking out equipment to clean up after it when she notices it go to the loo but often she doesn't and its constantly sniffing around the horses. But today I found out something thats annoyed the hell out of me.
My girl is the only horse on the yard that wears a fly veil rather than a mask, today said livery saw me in the field and was laughing at the fact her dog is obsessed with the fly veil and apparently often runs over snapping at it trying to get hold of the strings!
A I don't want her dog in my girls field at all let alone snapping at her face!
B I found the fly veil had 5 strings ripped off it last week from various points on the browband (found them in the same area together) and couldn't work out this had happened as it never touches the ground when she grazes so am now wondering if the dog pulled them out?
C why the heck does she find this funny?? She would go mental if a dog was doing it to hers!
Will be speaking to both her (was speechless at the time) and the YO tomorrow but surely not letting dogs in other people's fields is common sense??
Sorry for the rant but I'm absolutely fuming
