Know It All Children o.O
I am not normally a 'Venter' though due to the something or other that happened yesterday I have decided to take it up 
<br><br>Yesterday I was down the stables mucking out grooming etc,... doing the usual really. I was tacking up ready for the morning lesson which was a lesson for beginners on lead rein. I go into the office to take another look at the book to see what else needed doing and I saw there was another lesson booked, this is where the fun begins!<br><br>I half own a young evented/allrounder down the stables who I have put down there for working livery. Under the conditions that he his exercised regularly by EXPERIENCED riders. So I go down to the field get him out take him to the yard, groom, tack up give him a little treat for being a good boy and I wait for his rider to turn up. Not only did she turn up late but she was only 13 years old. I was like o.O I had never seen her ride before so I was a little antsy and I spoke to her mum asking if she had ridden Oscar before and her mum said no but she knows how to ride and she started coming up with rubbish about how every horse is the same and how she takes part in shows and blah blah blah... <br><br>So, I was like fine ok then. Now she WAS down for a lesson in the menage but oh no, the little dumpling had hurt her leg and she didn't feel up for schooling and so SHE wanted to go for a hack. Now Oscar isn't a happy hacker, so I said "Sorry, No. He isn't a hacking horse I am afraid, though if you are wanting a quite hack you can take Harry. he is already still tacked up as he was used just a minute a go (Harry is a 17year old 16.3hh ex-police horse) I know he is big but he is lovely to take out on hacks and he is alot safer" But, you can guess it she started getting all stressed because she wanted to take Oscar and I was just like, did nothing I just say matter? He is my horse (halfly) and so what I say go's, plus I work there! So her mum says to me "Ok, if your that worried I will go with her, he will be fine we pay to come here and it would be nice to see her get my moneys worth!" I still wasn't having any of it so my boss came down (as she knows how protective of Oscar I am) and she said this girl is a good enough rider for Oscar and that he will be fine.<br><br>Right, they toodle off, I carry on mucking out mumbling under my breath. And I get a phone call. "Helen come down quick, I'm at Jenny's hurry" So I panick get in the car and rush off to find Oscar lying in the road (still alive after being hit by a car) with a shattered hind leg (left) I didn't expect any of it, I was soo angry (and still am) at this womans and this little girls stupidity! Just because they THOUGHT they know everything about EVERY horse in the entire world! Now Oscar (RIP) has had to be put down (he was put down there and then) not only was he a good horse when it came to ability etc,.. he was also a lovely horse in all aspects, he had a lovely temrement, we had our own little routine and now he has gone due to some silly little brats know-it-all-ness! I have been given the week off so I am going to drown my sorrows banner making 
<br><br>Also, for those of you who were wondering how Oscar ended up getting hit by a car in the first place, he spooked at a man strimming in one of the gardens so he bolted, the young girl (Emmily) came off her mum couldn't catch him, he ran out onto the main road took one of the drivers by surprise whom sadly could not break in time. His left hind leg was shattered, his hoof was literally no longer attached to his leg, his rump had been cut, he had a puncture to his flank, So, no he couldn't have been saved.<br><br>*Cookies to those who read*
