heya,
Just wanted to say I am fed up of people telling me what horse I 'should and shouldnt get'.
Right this girl from the yard texts me asking if Ive given up riding. So i reply 'no of course not,why?' anyway she woffles on about a horse she is getting and about how its really good at dressage and does it profesionaly then about how it has a big jump. So I decided to be very nice and say aww thats nice I hope it all workd out. Then comes the nex catch (knew she wouldnt be texting me for kno reason as she made it clear to me what she thinks of me in the past). So she starts blabing about how before she gets it she needs a sharer. To be honest I would have prefered it if she could have acturlly asked not gone on about the whole thing would have made life abit simpler so I tell her about how I am looking for a horse/pony that isnt the nicest but I can work with and build up a trust.
So she asks if ive found one and I say no exactly but I have left a message with someone who has a pony that needs handling and that and abit like George soo as you all guessed it comes out that 'why do you want a horse like George he was aggresive'. I mearly point out that he wasnt he just needed someone to trust.
So the smart arsed girl decided to send me anouther saying that everytime he bite me or put his ears back I would cry. To be honest this really did make me angry. He has never acturly biten me he has tryed to so I said this to her and pointed out that if I had cryed everytime he put his ears back I think I would have died with lack of water in my body.
Anyway the next is 'oh noone likes you,you will never find a pony that likes you'. How do you now George trusted you did he tell you!!!!!!!!!. So very politly I sent her a message saying that he is the kind of pony I like to be with and that we all have our own desicions in life about what we like and dislike. Also adding that he came cantering up to me in the field calling, everytime he saw me he would call to me. I could sit on his back in the stable whilst he was lying down. I did trellis in his maine and what not.
Obviously she wasnt expecting this and has a massive go at me clearly telling me that the kind of horses I go for should be allowed down there as its to expensive for them.
I am very sorry but I found this soo rude and upsetting. Just because clearly I had different opinions on what I was looking for and I wasnt going to share her horse that she 'may' be getting.
George ment alot to me and thats what kind of horses I am looking for so now I have decided that maybe a small grass livery place is the answer for me. Or if not a different place.
Am I the only one to find this very rude??
P.s: a piccys of George with his ears back and Im sorry but I seem to be able to take a piccy of him like this and if what she did say is true about me crying I think i would have been to histerical to of done it.
