Here's a quick layout of the bard I board at: The main barn has around 20 horses around 20 horses in it. The long barn is perpendicular (but not attached) to the main barn, also around 20 horses, and where my guy is kept. The isle in this barn is slightly more narrow than the main barn. There's a third barn that we call the front five, perpendicular and connected to the long barn, that holds five horses. There's an additional attachment with four horses attached to the front five.
So, there's this girl, she's 17 like me, and she keeps a mare in the same barn as my horse. Her mare has Navicular, and is EXTREMELY aggressive. Every time anything passes by her stall, be it person, horse, dog, bird, etc. this horse will bite viciously at the bars on her stall. If you retaliate by waving a fist at her she will go back at you with double the force. If you cross tie your horse near her she will constantly bite at her bars and harass your horse! She hangs her head over her stall guard sometimes and tries to chomp at people!
She has bitten at least two people so far. She is seriously a lawsuit waiting to happen. But what's worse than this nasty beast of a horse being kept in the barn? Her owner is literally at the barn less than once a week, actually.. I NEVER see her there. I only hear about her presence once in a blue moon. When she DOES show up at the barn, she goes in the horses stall for, quote one of our most trusted boarders "literally ten seconds and comes out. She is incredibly rude and pushy to everyone at the barn, she bosses the younger kids around telling them what they can and can't do like they're mother. A younger boarder (12) was sitting up in the hayloft literally doing nothing but sitting and eating lunch, which is perfectly fine, and this girl comes up to her and demands that she get down! She puts her brushes and equipment wherever she wants and when she was asked to remove it from a certain spot due to inconvenience she blatantly ignored the request. She is never short of an excuse not to take her mare out, every time someone asks her if she's going to come care for the horse she has another reason. "I have a cold." "I have work." "I don't have time today." Oh my god! Even if it's for 15 minutes to clean the wall to wall crap out of her stall!
One of the boarders who is there all day actually approached her the other day when she made one of her rare appearances. She walked into the barn, went into her horses stall for a few seconds, then walked out. The boarder, really tired of this stuff, approached the girl and said "YOU KNOW, Usually people here GROOM their horses.." and handed the girl a curry comb. This girl walks into her horses stall, walks out and says "Thanks... but my horse is ALREADY clean.." Uhm no, this horse has been uncared for for over a week she's caked with dust!
She's also over stepping her bounds as a boarder. She posted a sign on her horses stall offering to lease her out for 350 a month. Now, this was done without the permission of the barn owner. This is not allowed! She can't just lease her horse out of someone elses barn especially without her permission! And especially one that is as aggressive as hers, she's going to injure someone, and then the BO is liable! Another boarder, an adult who's been boarding for 15+ years here, took the sign down and gave her a talk and a half.
Now, seeing her plea to have someone else take care of her nasty beast a young girl asked for her permission to take her horse out for a ride. The girl consented and the next day this young girl took out the beast to ride her. When she was untacking the biotch of an owner showed up, and even though she had consented to this girl riding her horse she reemed her out dry! She was screaming at her for taking her horse out, telling her she had no right and all these terrible words. She proceeded to follow the girl around in a very threatening fashion for the rest of the day, to the point where other boarders were staying in the same vicinity as this girl to make sure she didn't attack the poor girl.
I can't take it anymore. This girls parents pay 700 dollars a month to keep an aggressive, dangerous horse at a barn and the daughter will NOT take care of it! Not even clean it's stall, or brush it! It's horrible! The poor horse has navicular and all it does is sit in it's stall and rot! Approaching her about her horse provides no results, she denies that her horse has ever bitten anyone, even though she wasn't even there the two times her horse HAS bitten people. I'm scared of her showing up to the barn at the same time as me cause I know I'm gonna approach her about her horse and it's gonna get ugly!
I wish they would move her horse into the back four stalls or something, so no one has to deal with it accept for her, because the other three of the back stalls aren't boarder horses. It's caused a lot of problems with my own horse, because she's snapped at him so many times, and made so many intimidating faces that my horse has grown a serious dislike towards him, and whenever she passes by his stall for her very short turn out he lunges out at her! He doesn't do this to any other horse accept her and it's gotten so bad that he's broken his stall guard three times this month because of her, something he's never done before even to another horse! ):
What should I do?! What can I do? It's horrible to watch this horse rot, and to watch this horse become progressively more aggressive, and the poor thing has navicular!
