Hi everyone posting for a bit of advice, the yard I'm on is very small and friendly. Totally uncompetitive and no one cares what anyone else is doing, something I really like. A little over a month ago we had a new livery who has upset the yard dynamics a little. She is full of tips and advice yet is hardly the next Mary King herself, competes 70cm. Dumbs down what other people do but in a nicey nice way although easy to see through, if you've been to Tenerife she's been to elevenerife kind of person. Walks in when people are schooling and starts giving instruction. Has made a few cutting comments about Lottie and given me schooling exercises to do with her. I am very happy with Lottie and the way she goes, she is perfect for me. I'd like to be ready with something to say next time anything is mentioned but without being rude. I've done the smile, nod and ignore and to be honest I'm fed up hearing someone basically tell me my horse is x,y or z when she's not. I was thinking something a long the lines of "Oh thanks but I've got an instructor" I don't want to be rude but I also want her to realise the comments regarding Lottie and any advice is not wanted as I'm sick of hearing it.
