It doesn't matter that the other person was a petty bitch about it. She legitimately may not have known the quarter sheet was yours and stashed it away until someone asked about it. I know that most people don't appreciate random items draped over arena fences, and a quarter sheet thusly left out would probably be put away. She may have heard you were looking for it, and rather than deal with what she saw as YOUR petty bullshit, simply put it back where you'd be sure to find it.

Regardless, if you're that upset about it, you need to say something. Right now you're only guessing about the motivations of others and working yourself up into an equally petty snit about it. Either be happy it was returned and move on, or bring it up to the BM (politely) that you'd appreciate it if she could put the odd item you leave out (assuming it is the odd item and not a habit) either in your locker or somewhere safe and alert you as to where it is.

Eh I don't believe the OP was starting the BS.  The barn manager should have just asked hey is this yours?  Then the OP could have said "yes, thank you!  I'm sorry I left it out by mistake".  (without blaming the borrower)  The barn manager had a sum of three days to ask who's it was.  Could have just put it back without the passive aggressive bullshit she spouted. 

Now as far as barns go.  That manager is certainly not grown up enough to handle a barn full of clients.
