The BO saw the look on my face and quickly went to his truck and left without saying a word.

She was to get hay only until otherwise noted. NO GRAIN. Dusty checked on her for me over lunch and she was outside. The barn help happily told him she had eaten all her grain that morning.

I saw the one comment about the 2.5 square bales of hay for 14 horses and had to bite my tongue really hard to not go starting a battle on your FB! Even if they had been round bales instead of square bales, that's still not enough! 14 horses would've eaten 2 round bales down to nothing in a couple of days... The whole thing with the giant grain bucket is just more fuel for the fire! I loved your response to the one poster. I hope you can find a better situation for Pete and Gem STAT!!Nicole Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817619834026667737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-957257570347188011.post-27660320998826396902016-01-06T09:34:39.141-08:002016-01-06T09:34:39.141-08:00I don't do FB fights.

The barn was awesome last year when the BO had a middle aged super horse smart lady helping him. Now he has two teenagers who think they know everything. The one even locked the tack room and wears the key on her neck making boarders ask her for entry. If my stuff was in there I would have decapitated her to get the key before begging for it. Time to move on.

I slept outside his stall for three days and as soon as he was well enough to get on a trailer we left under cover of darkness. It's hard to face up when you have that benefit of hindsight, but it sounds like you are on your way to improving the situation.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.com
