Haven't posted on here for a while! But thought now would be a good time as i have a bit to say!
First of all.. interfering people!!! Okay i'm a very laid back sort of person (particularly compared to a lot of people in the horsey world!) I am greatful for people doing stuff for me or my horse, I let people at my yard borrow him if they want to go on a hack and have a friend without a horse because i trust them, and i know Mel loves going out too! But to me, there is still a line and at our yard the owner crosses it! She is rude to me, says to me "Oh i did his haynet and fed him as i didn't know if you were coming up." ????? :stomp: Why on earth would i not come up to sort my horse out?!?!?! When have i ever not?!?! I do not understand this! I go up there, he's been brought in which yes i am greatful for, as the other horses are in! But i've arrived there before and he's been mucked out, netted up, fed, and his pyjamas have been shoved on! (which means taking them back off as they leave him caked in mud) Now some of you may think "Ooh i'd love someone to sort my horse for me!" but i go up there, to enjoy spending time with him, and grooming him, and mucking him out - occasionally them doing bits for me is a nice favour! but they don't do it as a favour, they do it because they want him to be in the same routine as their own horses, so it is done THEIR way.. so this, i find a bit interfering! I also get "You dropped a piece of straw" and "You're sweeping up in the wrong direction" and "You rug him up differently to me" - I get calls and texts to ask me when i'm going up the stables today although it makes NO difference whatsoever to her, it's pure noseyness! (SP?) The YO just doesn't trust me, when i've NEVER done anything at all for her to doubt me in the slightest. I'm polite, smiley, always clean up after myself etc. it's just the way she is.. it's like if you're nice you get walked all over?? Odd.
But anyway after the rant.. as most you know i loan Mel off of a lovely lady! She visited me yesterday to tell me she is buying her own 3 acre field and if all goes to plan, we'll be moving him around March time! I'm SO excited because we'll have NO-ONE telling us what to do, and we'll be the bosses of ourself! :biggrin: We need one other livery obviously as he can't be by himself but i'm asking a few friends if they'd be interested! I'm so looking forward to being able to do my own thing without anyone watching my every move! The downfall is we won't have a school anymore and the fields are on more of a hill, but there is a school nearby you can hire and the hacking is better! so happy days! :angel: It's near a VERY popular showground too which means i can just hack him up the road and do day and evening shows which is what i've always wanted!!! So thought i'd let you all know, and get some pics of our new place when we go up there!! :happy:
