There is a new girl at the barn and as stupid as this sounds I think our barn is starting to form "clicks". Sammy, Becca and me are the three amigos. We do everything and go everywhere with each other. There is a 2 year difference between me and Sammy and 3 year difference between me and Becca, but we are the BEST of friends. There is another girl my age at the barn, but she is 100% different from us and we all recognize that. But this new girl shows up and thinks she honestly rules the roost! She came in about 3 days ago with an 8 year old TB mare who has a ton of health issues after racing over 81 races. She has no respect for me or any of the other girls. The other day (Friday) I went to the barn and she was there grooming Bindi (her horse), well I took Whacha out of the pasture and began to groom him and she walked up and said, "Who is this?" referring to Whacha. I said, "This is Whacha." She said, "Who's is he?" I said, "He's mine" and gave him a neck. She raised her eyebrows and said, "He's *yours*?!" I nodded and she scoffed at me and then said, "How long have been riding?" I said, "5 years" and she made a weird noise like "pfft" and walked away. I know for a fact that Bindi is her first horse and she has only been riding a year. She feeds Bindi so many supplements and different feeds that I get dizzy trying to feed her! She has got corn, a weight builder, beet pulp (that *I* have to soak) and a special grain mixture. She really has no idea what she is doing and she doesn't take advise from Jamie. She is so difficult to be around because she thinks she is "better" than all of us. She acts as if she has "been there, done that" and is if she has the weight of the world on her shoulder. I would love to be her friend but how do you communicate with someone like that? How do I take to her? She doesn't even let me pet her horse!

uuuh this group is now my safe haven lol. no one btu kate nelom and my sis is on this site but even so its nice to be able to rant.
so our riding insructor annouced that she is moving. imagine the mayhem when people who are cloes and come to this barn because its afordable and almost like caring for your horse by relieing on YOU to help and then our barn gets pulled out from under us. and theres people at this abrn who show up at eight so we can feed the horses and ride b4 it gets hot that actually work and are resopislbe for their own horses because they care about them and then theres people at this barn who have a name its so annoying. to pull a taylor is to show after all the work is done and ride ur horse. their excuse?its the weekends they sleep in.give me a break. and this same girl bought a horse because it was a challenge. and she goes to my school and at least every moth comes in wiht a note asking to take the elevator or skip p.e. because she fell of her horse or her horse ran her over(true story). and this girl only likes jumping NO dressagae and we mainly do dressage and when we have lesson she thinnks she should be doing higher level stuff and after our lesson will try doing higherlevel stuff because she thinks she can. and then theirs a girl thats kinda..eh... and bought a horse she cant jump. and none of them like to work. its your horse people they carry you for an hour or 2 each day the keast you can do is muck their pasture so their not knee deep in crap and mud and flies. o and girl who has the challenge pony, wel she also thinks she's done parrielle with this pony. she doesnt even have the equipment or all the level videos. parrielle doesnt mean having a bond. having a bond is called having a bond pareilli is just a brand that takes it and breaks it down for you.so she thinks she has a bond wiht her horse. how the flip are you supposed to have a bond wiht a horse if you pull a taylor every weekdays and all you do is ride the thing?!and its not even pretty. and she thinks she taught it stuff. she couldnt teach a horse to horse to lead if she tired. wait HER OWN horse wont even lead. good gracious. but theres more for another day.
