I go to a barn in Alberta, Canada. (All you have to know.) I own a welsh pony I trained early 2012 and I ride her all the time. Since I have been at this barn; it has pony club participating all the time and the problem is, they KICK ME OUT Of whatever arena I am using.

The first couple times had me sooo mad, it was pouring rain out, the outdoor arena was sopping wet and not in condition to be riding in. So I went into the indoor arena, hopped on, yet to be kicked out by pony club instructor and parents. I was furious because where the hell am I supposed to ride?! Up and down the flipping walk way?! That day and 2 other times that has happened (raining) on the same days pony club has came.

And today, MonSep02/13, I was riding outside by myself, I was the FIRST person in the arena and did my walk/trot and cantered one way... Until a pony club lesson came in. The coach told me to get out and the kids; maybe aged 6-9?; came in with their parents, the parents just glared at me when I walked out of the gate. Which I think is so rude because personally I am a friendly person. So I stood in the field beside the outdoor arena, watching... mad. And I was furious once again because the kids were just doing Walk and trot! No jumping; cantering, ANYTHING special. They dont need a huge outdoor for that, they could of friggen used the indoor arena for that not kick someone schooling jumpers 2'9-3' out of the outdoor.

I have brought this up to the barn and property owner but she said Pony Club has control of the arena when needed. Which I think is ridiculous... :/ And Bull*hit. They can't just take control.

So, all I want to know is Pony Club allowed to do that? By the way, they dont have the arena booked or anything so do they have right for that? Also, all the pony club participants trailer in, they ARE NOT boarding at the barn, like I am. I am PAYING for the arena and use.

Why does Pony Club people act like they know everything horse world, because all other horse people know their stuff (well 99.1% of the time XD) and why do they take control of the arena. Would love your answers. :D Really upset about this!
