Is anyone else having someone else ride whilst they're pregnant and unable to ride themselves?
I originally found one girl who had utter histronics and failed to do the one thing I specifically asked her to do - that was, trim the mane & tail.
I found two new people and let the girl go - she'd ridden 4 times in as many months.
Got an email last night saying "had a horrible ride and I've hurt my lady bits".
I'm wondering why I bother - seriously - I'm letting people ride my horse FOR FREE and nobody is capable of cleaning brushes before putting them back - heaven forbid someone should clean her tack and I had to specifically ask that her numnahs were taken home and washed.
Can't wait to be back in control.
Sorry for the rant - I'm just pissed off that you can't even GIVE free rides away in exchange for some basic help. I had to go up on Friday night to "help" the girl with the sore lady bits and she wanted me to walk out with her on a hack. I'm 36 weeks ffs, if I had the energy to walk alongside a 17.2hh horse for a few miles I wouldn't need anyone else to exercise her... I went about quarter of a mile and turned for home. She was back 10 minutes later saying horse was napping.
