Well, I saw what the original poster was complaining about.  The guy posting 
was standing at the water tub with his very mannerly stallion and another 
rider allowed the other horse to come up to the stallion and being nosing at 
the stallion to move the stallion over.  At least that's how it appeared to 
me.  Shoot, my mare won't tolerate that kind of behavior from another horse 
when she's thirsty and trying to drink.  Further, the guy who originally 
posted was standing next to the stallion in what was quickly going to be the 
strike zone.  The other rider wasn't trying to be a jerk, they just weren't 
paying enough attention.
