Why can I never go away...

[Onthebit]

....without something going wrong!!!

-I came home from Olympia this morning after deciding to stay up in London to find my brother telling me he will NEVER look after the lot of them again!
Apparently Sparrow was enjoying destroying my fencing by rubbing his bottem on it, which apparently broke the fencing and he ended up fixing it.
Twice.
(Bare in mind this is brand new so I'm really not impressed with the company. Or Sparrow).
Willow decieded she wanted to really rip her heavyweight. Given I didn't have any spares as I intended to buy a few up at Olympia, she had to stay in for all of yesterday and apparently she is the most disgusting mare my brother has ever had the misfortune to come across. She had Scarlett in with her as Willow refuses to be in by herself (Yes, excellent trait, NOT) who luckily is as clean as they come, but is always looking for a polo.
Pingu kept following my brother about the field when he was trying to keep the fields clean and enjoyed knocking the wheel barrow over, which drove him insane.
Only sane one was Stella apparently.
Its not really funny, but its the kind of thing that makes me want to hit my head hard against a wall and pull my hair out.
Last time I ever go away for a weekend by the looks of it >.<
Not really a rant but either way; Rant. Over.

broken dog lead, worried horse, scared dog. and then he got kicked for checking said horse over...

I always end up being the one looking after horses when it all goes wrong!! The little monkeys can quite happily stay in their field for weeks, until the owner goes away for 2 days and then they all decide to break fencing etc.

Exactly!! All perfectly behaved until I leave them for a weekend-its like how we used to behave for a babysitter!

I havent had a holiday for 15 years now!!!!! To many ponies now, when i go away for the odd day i use a horse sitter, rather have my brood than a holiday any way!!!

I asked someone to feed my horses day before yesterday as I had to work extra long shift, wrote full instructions as to what they ate etc and had plenty of food left to feed my lot for at least another week, ALL my feed's gone.... Had very happy ponies yesterday, Until they realised they weren't getting fed any thing other than hay as feed merchant was closed
