I would be really frustrated, especially the part of the impatient people pulling in.paint_horse_milohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549633937628282128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-37765876476957098592010-09-29T05:12:24.460-04:002010-09-29T05:12:24.460-04:00That's really scary.

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't gotten sued over it in the past; I can't believe they've had <i>no</i> injuries from leaving the stalls in that kind of condition.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608579972739041880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-50197630937743206632010-09-29T00:02:17.161-04:002010-09-29T00:02:17.161-04:00Appalling!

They bear some of the responsibility as well.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-66726476925964484562010-09-28T17:40:51.439-04:002010-09-28T17:40:51.439-04:00IME that's just the way show stalls are.

Amazingly it took several hours for the crew to come up with a wall panel to enclose my 4 year old stallion! Then they secured it so poorly he knocked one end loose before they were able to walk away!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-76083742079653002062010-09-28T16:22:42.205-04:002010-09-28T16:22:42.205-04:00Relieved that you are such a conscientious owner w...Relieved that you are such a conscientious owner who thinks to check before putting the horse in the stall!!<br /><br />What a nightmare.<br /><br />Hope you raise a big stink about it with management - they deserve to have a scene made.billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187141867284800597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-8569824570434495262010-09-28T15:59:43.669-04:002010-09-28T15:59:43.669-04:00I've had lots of experience with show stalls -...I've had lots of experience with show stalls - especially the cheap or free ones - having debris or sharp objects in them. One time, I was at a Morgan show in Ohio and all four of our stalls had at least five sharp objects protruding from the walls and floor - and one of our stalls (the one we kept out 19 yr old mare that was prone to injuries in) had a big, thick, sharp nail sticking out of Gabriella Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654181597852687661noreply@blogger.com
