The overly concerned fellow boarders - mini-rant

Any one else struggle with good intentioned but excessively concerned fellow boarders?

My horse Z likes to sleep laying down. All of a sudden today I get calls and texts because one of the ladies at the barn saw my horse had hay but was laying down. The lady made Z get up and promptly reported to the office that she was colicing. I was there only a couple hours earlier and threw her 2 giant flakes of hay, which she happily munched on. Of course she's fine, but I'm so tired of them constantly thinking my horse is dying. I mean who doesn't get a little panicked when they hear the word colic?

Lost shoe? Little scratch or bite mark? Itchy because it's bug season? All apparently good reasons to raise alarm.

I mean it's nice to know other people are keeping an eye on my horse. I always look out for other people's horses too, but sheesh.

Rant over
