OP, i would voice your concerns to BM/BO and explain that you have been considering bc of this person. Life is too short for BS.
Considering that the teenager in question doesn’t seem to have done anything to incur OP’s festering resentment, it would be pretty annoying to be complained about for existing.
The teenager and barn owner’s lives are too short for BS, too.

Conversation with BO
“Susie mooches rides off of people. Susie also took tack I offered her and wasn’t thankful enough for my liking. I also can guess she is going to get hurt. I also think, but can’t be sure, she called me a bitch. I am also afraid she is going to video tape my rides. I bet everyone leaving is because of her. I gave you those gazebos. I think I give more than every other boarder. I moved my office to be near the barn and the lease is for a few years. I am going to write you a check because want you to see I am more valuable than she. I am also going to speculate on her future, what her kids will be like and her career path.”
Let me know how that works out for ya.

@Pennywell Bay exactly. Since BOs tend to be very aware of the value of each boarder to their bottom line, I’m sure paying board that far in advance for that reason is really only going to make the boarder very annoying to the BO.
The one and only time I’ve ever had any sort of drama with someone at a barn (who was not a boarder but a SO – ugh that person was the WORST), the BO was immediately aware of my value as a client vs. the other person’s value and reacted accordingly…without me having to mention how much money I spend there or make any sort of threats at all.
My advice to anyone who stumbles across this and wants to try a power play like that is to think twice about how the other side might receive it.

I LOVE THIS.
What a great quote to hang on the wall to remember every day!
Hey OP, I was wondering how things shaped up for this situation over the past two years?
