Yards are far too bitchy!

I think that these kind of situations occur a lot in livery yards. On a personality basis, we are never going to get on with everyone in life. But we do have to share a facility and both people/parties should try to take responsibility for that. Most of these problems can probably resolved by a good talk, perhaps with another person mediating. I hope things pick up for you in your new yard.

1) SHE had a problem with US that led to the fall out
2) YO called an entire yard meeting, accusing us of bullying, when all we had done wsa ignored each other to make life easier.
3) I was standing about 5m away from her when she knowingly slammed a car door when a 5yr old green horse who is having confidence built walked by, causing him to spook dangerously in the yard.
4) if you had actually read my post, i said "dung trailer" meaning metal floor. Thus creating much noise and also fear in the eyes of my horse.
5) The woman was looking at my mother when she threw the spoon. My point there was that she twisted the story into something completely of a lie!
6) She was telling of problems that she caused but twisted them into making them look like it was our problem.
7) YO, unwilling to listen to what we had to say, told us to leave based on a lie told by the woman.

Also to add, the YO's husband finds thrills in intimidating my mother and others on the yard because they my in some way have made a mistake.

So unless you have something to say based on what I ACTUALLY posted about, then I see no value in your comments.

If your horses can't cope with a car door slamming and a rattling wheelbarrow then perhaps you shouldn't be riding them yet? Don't hack out into the big wide world what ever you do.

I really feel that is a little harsh lastchancer. Any horse, however old and well-schooled, can spook at such noise.
 
Lastchancer. My horse is 12 and has been well schooled. but when a sudden banging occurs when your trotting round the school, when she can hardly see where the noise is coming from. How cant you justify any horse not being spooked by that? and also. The 5yr old was with another horse to try and build confidence whilst out hacking. He was relaxed as he returned to the yard to be faced with the shock of a slamming car door. He's a horse for heavens sake, its natural for him to be frightened by sudden unexpected noises like that.

Im sorry for even bloody starting this thread as many people seem to enjoy criticising me. I came on here with a geuine issue and have been made out to be the 'bad guy' in this situation. From now on maybe I'll just not bother!
 
Sorry jodi - it was harsh and yes horses will spook at all sorts mines 14 and still acts like a 4yo, the point I was trying to make was that horses have to deal with far worse when they are out & about. I promise to be more diplomatic next time :-)
Hope you get on well at your next yard
