First time posting in tack room...
Just need a moan and a rant.
I have had a livery yard for many many years, done a variety of diy/part/full and currently have just two on diy basis. 3 horses between the two of them.
One of my long term liveries let's call her A of coming up to 5 years has always been nervous around any shape or size of equine and it's got to the point where she refuses point blank to get involved and help of one if of us has gone away for the night and require bringing in turning out etc.
A has moved one of her daughters "comp" pony to a "professional" yard because she couldn't handle him on a day to day basis and the whole situation with the pony was an accident waiting to happen.
A went away for two days last week and the other livery B turned out, mucked out and brought in when it was 35degrees plus no questioned asked but when I asked Livery A to help me this morning turn out the livery B horses A refused and said she's terrified of big horses and other people's horses (these ones in particular are so kind and genuine) and that she's done her shoulder in and can't lift it above her head (why she would need to do that I don't know).
I tried to stay calm but was in the middle of plaiting and getting ready for a comp, horses were banging to be turned out, my horse was getting unusually upset and A didn't turn up till gone 8am, spent 5mins here, turned their geriatric pony out, skipped out and left.
Literally does sweet f all now.
