I am of a similar temperament. I am too nice to say Fluff Off, until the day comes when I just can't take it anymore and I spontaneously unleash a truly inspired slew of slow-cooked nasty truths at the offending person. I did this to a well known person in my area who had been really, really rude to me for over a year when I was doing nothing but trying to mind my own business, and it felt SO GOOD to shock that witch into complete and utter mouth-agape-silence. She didn't think I had it in me. BUT I DID. Bwahahaha!C.E.

I used to board at a combo boarding stable with BNT's, former olympic caliber horses, current in training olympic caliber horses to weekend riders, horse petters.. and dear gods.. the parelli cultists. I loved the fact they had their own rough board pasture, they called it the "natural horse care" pasture. We called rough board with grain. When I restarted a 14 yr old gelding, who decided to climb the walls of the big indoor, I asked a BN (at that stable) to work with him for a week. I got him going very well and sold him to a nice family.<br />Fast forward a year or so, I had been hurt fairly badly and had disappeared from the "social" and barn scene at that barn and suddenly I was back, training two horses that some one asked me to train. I wasn't there very long just about 35 days. I didn't ask advice, I didn't bother anyone except to say hi... I then disappeared again. Fast forward another year or several months...<br />I was at another barn and needed to move my green broke mare, I called local BNT and asked her trailer my horse. She hemmed and hawed and then said that she had heard I had taken that 14 yr old gelding out behind some barns at the combo barn and had beaten the $hit out of that gelding..<br />WHAT??!! WTF??!!! I said, "Now wait a minute, where did you hear that??!!" Her reply was some one said they saw something... WTF??!!<br />I said," BN you know me, you DO remember that when i had the slightest bit of trouble with that gelding, I asked and paid you for a week's worth of training."<br />her reluctant reply was that yes she did remember, and yes she knew I hadn't done anything like that. BUT she would believe the scuttlebutt...<br />I truly believe that they will come up with a ton of nasty things about YOU DC!!, barns have a nasty way of doing that, you don't burn your bridges, none of us do, the other boarders and gossip queens will shred you, they shredded me and they tend to shred anyone who they deem an upstart...<br />I loved it when I showed up with my mare to a schooling show and did the baby combined training classes, and walked away with a few blues!<br />HEHEHEHEE<br />You go girl!Carol in WIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989689419016701231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-56244171791242741142012-07-04T13:21:20.822-04:002012-07-04T13:21:20.822-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Carol in WIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989689419016701231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4571933866625297210.post-47381632035491146932012-07-04T11:26:04.589-04:002012-07-04T11:26:04.589-04:00LOL Are you sure you aren't writing about my b...LOL Are you sure you aren't writing about my barn???
