starting to come around to what some of you folks are talking about when you complain about horse people.
We don't take in outside mares for breeding usually. If the folks are decent and are ready when our mares are being bred, we'll slip in a couple or three.
Anyway, person showed up at the house about a month ago. We said OK and the fun started. 4 weeks later, she finally shows up with her horse on the day that we were going to email her and tell her to forget it (we try and get the stallion put in the pasture with the gelding by mid July so we can ride them the rest of the season).
She started right in with she would be visiting her baby every day. Told her we didn't have time for that and we'd call her when it was time to pick up the horse. She showed up the next day and helped herself to the place and when we came into town, she was walking her horse up the street. Told her that as long as the horse was in our care, it was to stay on our property. We explained to her that we are not a public riding stable and not insured for strangers on the place.
Today, I was just finished cleaning the mare's paddock and going to pick up a water tank to fill and put on another pasture before going to work and here she comes....
Told her that I didn't have time to stay with her and she'd have to go. She got in her car and left. 2 hours later I had finished and was putting my tractor away and she was walking her horse up the street.
I lost all people skills and blew up. She just happened to be by a small piece that I had fenced off on the edge of town. Told her to put the horse in there and get her trailer and pick her up NLT tomorrow. "It's going to rain tonight". told her she better hurry andleft her talking to herself.
I'm out 30 bucks for 3 days of boarding, but it's worth it.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
