locker blowout



The barn that I am lucky enough to board at is an amazing facility, and my horse could not be anymore spoiled living there, and frankly I thought I could not be any more spoiled riding there, but apparently i was wrong.... When i showed up at the barn this morning for my daily training session, I opened up the barns door to the sound of one of the usual culprits for drama ( we will call her Ms. K) complaining that the lockers are not big enough for the amount of stuff she has at the barn.
Now these lockers that she is talking about are HUGE! I am about 5'10 and i can stand straight up inside of mine, so she is not talking about a tiny little locker that is just big enough for your saddle to fit into. So Ms.K is complaining for a good 20 min about how everyone should have at least 2 lockers,or why not just get rid of the lockers all together and have talk stalls right next to our horses. While she is going on and on about how we are not spoiled enough, all I could think of was don't bring me into this lady! Before the owner of our barn could even get a word in, the other DQs (dressage queens) of the barn were right there by her side. Now all of these women were actually believing that they deserved MORE then what was already being provided.

I just don't get it. I am more then happy with the fact that i don't have to carry my stuff aroud in the back of my car, let alone have a locker that I could sleep in if needed. The most facinating part was as soonas they were done attacking the owner, they scattered and that was the end of it. People acted like nothing happened, and they went about there business, and rode there horses with big content smioled on there faces. Amazing how fast those claws can cmoe and go.

  1. Did you say anything to the barn owner? Sometimes it's nice to have a little support. :-/

    I think my locker is bigger than yours, but my barn is less fancy, and my Dad built it for me years ago.
