I live in a small village not hugely populated and we have a issue with one particular "horse rider". We have a small lane that takes us to the local shops etc and whenever we try to pass her if she is there she will not let us pass. She will stand until we give up and make our horses back up for her. This has been going on for a long time and we are considering getting up a petition to get her evicted from her home. Who does she think she is for gods sake, we are just trying to ride our horses in our village and she thinks she can take it over with her black stallion of a horse. AIBU I do not think so but thought I would ask you all :)

I wish we ate horses in my village they're a PITA... (no offence)

ivykaty44 · 12/05/2011 22:50

Move to france - they eat them there along with snails

PiaThreeTimes · 12/05/2011 22:51

This is a joke, surely. Evicted from her house for not backing up her horse?! Grin

Sunshine, I think you're being taken for a ride on this one...

sunshinelifeisgood · 12/05/2011 22:51

OMG no way am I suggesting that peopel should be evicted from thier home I was agreeing with the OP that she had (and myself) had paid good money for a property and do expect a certain standard that is all. I do not want this to turn into one of a silly mumsnet arguements

Dear me Bitter, we are in the 20th century :)

SarahStratton · 12/05/2011 22:51

Well the black stallion must be relevant, and sunshine's horse called SILVER. But I'm not getting it at all.

lurkedtoolong · 12/05/2011 22:51

Showing my plebby, city-dwelling ignorance here. How do you carry your shopping home on a horse? Is the problem the other horse or the trailer full of Waitrose bags and Guardians behind you?

21st century I think you'll find, sunshine Grin

PiaThreeTimes · 12/05/2011 22:52

You're in the 20th century, sunshine? Eh?

PiaThreeTimes · 12/05/2011 22:53

Or did you pay more of your "good money" to remain in the 20th century, and we should all respect that?

aldiwhore · 12/05/2011 22:54

I rent my home, its mine for life, I have as much right to hate horses as you do to ride them, regardless of how much you paid for your house... sorry. I pay council tax after all....

I think you should have to use a poop scoop as well, because as I pay a good price for my house, I shouldn't have to be forced to step in your shit.

Actually I don't care, but its a lame arguement to say that the worth of your house indicates the level of what's acceptable to shit on the street.

Well one thing for certain on this thread is that money doesnt buy brains. 20th century pahahahahaha.

vintageteacups · 12/05/2011 22:56

Sorry, but if you can drive a car along it, you can certainly pass two horse widths.

You and your mates need to go single file and just ride past her.

Perhaps you should ask her what the reason you have to back up is; maybe her horse is a bit nasty and would bite/kick out at your horses? However, if this has happened regularly, you'd have thought one of you would have asked her by now or she would have said the reason.

aldiwhore · 12/05/2011 22:57

I can buy horse shit for the roses... there's a lovely lady up the road who earns a bomb on selling her excess shit. Its good for the roses but I don't reeeeallly want to be knee high in it after an innocent and well paid for trip to the local inn.

sunshinelifeisgood · 12/05/2011 22:58

ok mistype ugh 21st century. I love this name changing thing I can be anyone I want to be within reason. i am not a troll by the way :)

Lucyinthepie · 12/05/2011 23:01

I hope nobody's taking this thread seriously. Maybe Op should write a notice on a bit of card to hold up to this lady on her black stallion. (Whispers... horse riders don't back up for each other).

ExitPursuedByALamb · 12/05/2011 23:02

I give my shit away for free.

I'll have some please ExitPursuedByALamb in a bag rather than underfoot....

QueenLaQueefer · 12/05/2011 23:04

Bloody people with their massive horses.

Don't they realise with their steed's high oat consumption they are producing more methane and destroying the environment?

They're just status symbols. I can fit three children on my welsh cob just fine. I don't need to resort to a bloody clydesdale like these out-of-towners.

Pffft.

A1980 · 12/05/2011 23:05

This is the best thread i've seen for a long time.

Fuck I laughed Grin

sunshinelifeisgood · 12/05/2011 23:06
