This lady is too much to deal with and how dos she treat the horses? Jean Hi Jean- The only thing which kept me from moving out is the beauty of the property. It is by far the best in the area, 120 acres of gorgeous, mostly flat land connected to a county-wide trail system. But, with crazy people in charge that all means nothing. Most other stables in our county are VERY crowded and much smaller. But, the place I am moving to will suit me fine. My friends hate the weather in Daly City (windy foggy), but since I grew up there, I'm used to it. The horses prefer it and there are seldom any flies in such weather as well. The property is small, but it's right next to the beach, so you have access to miles of coast either way. Brigid

However it sounds like there may already be too much friction between you now. Hi Jean- I wish it would cool down, as I hate for things to get personal. The main problem is, my horses need work and I cannot bring my trainer on the premises because the stable owner forbids it. She called the cops the last time he visited. She is crazy, and has personal vendettas against people. I just can't take it any more. Brigid

Thank you! I stand up for myself, but I hate pointless arguing and temper. I don't know where you live in California, but there are some barns I can recommend where the owners are sane and supportive. I am in San Mateo County. The place I am considering is in Daly City. Cool and foggy, but that's what the Fjords like : ) Brigid

If so than you must have not closed the stall securily. If that is so you are probably responsibile for damages. That's what I was afraid of. I did close the stall, which doesn't lock because the door has settled too much. Is a stable owner supposed to check the horses during the night as a regular routine? I don't know. It just seems like an awfully long time in a very hot barn. Brigid

This message is from: Kari Ann Owen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear Brigid, Congratulations on keeping a cool head and not allowing yourself to be intimidated. I don't know where you live in California, but there are some barns I can recommend where the owners are sane and supportive. These are in Castro Valley and the Oakland Hills and a barn quite close to us whose arena and paddock facilities are not quite as good as the others, but where the care is responsible. May the Horse be with you, Kari Ann -- Please access my web site at http://pwp.value.net/penomee/penomee.html for my artistic, academic and performing resumés, and... a great low-fat lasagna recipe!
Re: boarding blues
This message is from: Jean Gayle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brigid, I was called one day by the boarding stable where I had my big Trakehner, about 40 miles from here. It was one of the girls working there. She had decided to put her gelding in with mine and mine had kicked hers. I had nothing to do with where the horses were turned out. She was furious with me and my horse. Things eventually cooled down, maybe yours will too. However it sounds like there may already be too much friction between you now.

This time I'm leaving for good (last problem I only threatened). I would like your opinions on this situation: A few days ago one of my horses got out of his stall and apparently ate feed and chewed on a saddle bridle, as well as pooped all over the barn. The stable owner came after me like gangbusters the next day, saying I am responsible for severe damage and things like that. I was in no mood to talk to her, and I was in a hurry, so I left. However, the more I thought about it the more mad I got. I wondered, 1) Why was the stall not secure? 2) Why was valuable tack sitting out in the open? 3) Why was feed stored in the open? 4) Why was I not called immediately when it was discovered that my horse had ingested large amounts of feed and possibly leather from the tack? I left the barn at 5PM, the owner found the mess at 8AM. That means the horses were unattended for 15 hours.
