And over at my house a freaking horse just walked up to our house. And a kindly neighbor (Neighhhhhhhh -I could not resist) asked the kids if they wanted a ride around the yard. What did my horse loving girl do? Flee up a tree as fast as possible. Want to come to my house? Mr. Brown will come back for the price of lunch anytime.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I’d like to write to the owner and tell her what happened, but the problem is, SHE was the horsemanship instructor. She was the one who told us to switch groups in the first place — the owner herself. I don’t think she’d take kindly to me pointing out how inept she was at handling a large group of kids.

And if I were to write such a letter to her, it would be incredibly difficult for me to restrain myself from adding to the letter the fact that her damned underwear was hanging out the back of her super-skinny tight-fitting jeans all afternoon. Every single time she bent down to show the kids how to tell the horse to pick up it’s foot, we all got a great view down the back of her pants. At least she wasn’t wearing a thong, right? There’s just no way I could avoid adding that to the letter. And that wouldn’t be very nice of me now, would it?

I don’t mind paying for the day. We were there; my kids got on a horse. But I’m not going to go back. And when we signed up for this thing, they said you needed to sign up for the whole thing. There was an assumption that you’d be going to all 6 sessions. Not that I signed anything to that effect, of course.

If they even try to say something about me being required to finish the full clinic, I’ll start raising hell and sending letters. But other than that, it’s better if I just pay the fee and walk away. My temperament is such that it would not be pretty if I started writing letters. (sigh)

Thanks again, everyone, for listening to me bitch.

Yes! I definitely think a letter of complaint is in order. After all, they probably think they are just doing a tremendous job! I would be wanting my money back thats for sure.

I’m so sorry to hear about the bummer day for the girls. That just really sucks. I hope they refund your money. Sure wish you guys lived closer and could come on over to MIL’s farm. The girls would be up to their ears in horses, and manure, for that matter. Lots and lots and lots of manure….
