Please help - my pre teen loves horses and we loan one at great expense and two jobs for me as it seemed a good idea to have her in fresh air all weekend and a day a week after school.The problems seems to be arising is that the stables is quite a harsh competative enviroment and some of the girls verbally threaten each other - other parents think verbal is fine so long as dont hit - i dont- and speak and behave in ways that is not acceptable on our household eg siblings there hit each other.it does seem to be partly the stable culture and i think its the best around as has been similar at others.I constantly have to support my daughter to try not to behave like the satble culture and she upsets her siblings when she comes home.one says he feels has lost his sister.i do recognise that we cant protect or wrap in cotton wool but as peers are v imp at this age i have to admit that i wish it was a different enviroment.i do know you have to be tough to some extent there but its realy affecting family.one sib has stated calling her a chav and fireworks ensue and i must admit she is being that way....
