You have gracious people come volunteer for you and you can't even allow them to use the restroom after a long hard days work unless they board there??!! You SUCK! read more

I was at Somerset Farms, an equestrian facility in Longmont, CO, with a friend, volunteering, providing food service for an event. We served happily all day long, then, at the end of the event, I was refused to be able to use the restroom. I was essentially escorted out of the building, in view of other people, being rudely told that unless I had a horse boarding at the facility, I would have to use the port-a-potty outside, that only those who had horses there were allowed the "real" restrooms. This was after many other food service staff and volunteers were allowed inside. Even after providing a well-received service for their event, I was treated like I was "less-than." I felt completely disrespected and was so humiliated that it brought me to tears. SF, I encourage you to step outside of your privileged attitude and treat people with some dignity and respect, especially those who are providing a service for you. Perhaps you are a great dressage facility, however, the way you treat people in the service industry says just as much about you as does how well your horses and participants perform. read more
