DD is horse mad and is very lucky to have her own pony.
Due to the shite weather this winter and resulting mud, poached fields, mud fever, boggy bridleways and a water logged school, pony hasn’t been turned out as much as usual and DD hasn’t been able to ride much so her pony is a bit “fresh” 
DD took her to an event last weekend and pony was a bit lively. Nothing dangerous but she pulled some interesting moves, threw in some bucks, did quite a lot of sideways trotting and was generally a bit (lot) over excited
Anyway, was out with a group of friends last night - some close friends and some friends of friends that I kind of know.
One friend also rides and she asked how DD had got on at the weekend, I said fine but pony had been “a bit of a knobber”. Friend replied that her boy had been a complete cock at a similar event the week before.
A friend of a friend was sitting the other side of my friend heard us talking - told us we were abusive, we should be ashamed of ourselves, she felt sorry for our poor animals and that we were just awful and she hoped our horses would find nicer owners who actually cared about them one day - before walking out.
We also have a dog and a cat, they’re all very much loved and well cared for but they are dickheads sometimes - the cat especially
