Horses azzes

I've owned and been around horses all my life, but some of the horse folks I deal with creep me out!!
Got a Lady boarder with a mini, big pony (14 hands) and a riding horse Paso Fino 25 yrs old They put down 6 weeks ago. The Paso Fino had Laminitis...old and overfed by Her. I was just starting to bale 1st cut of mainly timothy, late Orchard and in best spots about 15% alfalfa. She said my hay was too rich for the Paso and paid a guy in Southern Wi. $11.00/bale for last years 1st cut orchard grass. Now, they want credit for the bales they fed their horse! I told them at the time that most of my hay had already headed out..RFV and carbs going down and probably no richer than the crap they bought that was a year old...I also said that was their choice and refused to even discuss it. Lucky for me they found a place with 2 acres and I only have to put up with Her for another month!!!
 
I've got the same attitude about selling hay to horse people that I have about renting out a house.

I'd sooner set fire to it!
 

My 2 most heard untruthful statements by horse owners I sell hay to are.
I don't want any hay with Johnson grass in it as that will kill my horse.
My horse can only eat Coastal Bermuda when in fact Coastal that's been allowed to grow much over 28 days since last cutting is very had to digest.
 
My biggest observation about horse people: "why pop the lid off an old bucket, wash it out, and use it, when we can spend $50 on a new bucket that doesn't do the job any better???".
