Please, that I may have found a new yard!!!
I went to see a place last week that isnt advertised but had heard on the grapevine that there where vacant stables but he didnt want anyone else on. There is only 2 other people there and he is thinking about it. Its a long story to long to go into at the moment but he said he liked me and will try and accomodate me.
I have had the most awful morning down at the yard with those b*tches and I really cant take anymore of been made to feel that *I take everything and dont gave anything back*
Everyday last week bar Monday I poo picked all the fields on my own!! I went round yesterday filling rabbit holes in that took me over an hour!! I have fed everymorning this winter the girls horse who shares the field with mine!! I put her out and bring her in, change her rugs etc etc with not one bit of thanks!! And now they say I am going over the top about the grazing situation, they have been on a bare field for the last two weeks and have had to feed him morning and night and gave him hay morning and night.
They have just gone out yesterday in a small area with grass with no protection from the wind and rain and I asked if the fence could be taken down to the hedges so they could have protection and have been made to feel that I am out of order for asking!!!
I have just had a blazing row with them which resulted in me ending up in tears it was either tears or I was going to punch one of them. One of thems husband who i have always got along with came right upto my face effing and jeffing. My hubby wants to go down and in his own words *Punch his lights out* which i said wasnt advisable!!
Has I stormed off crying one of them came after me and said she didnt want me to leave ( They had said before if I dont like what they do down there then I know where the effing gate is) and said it had all got out of hand and we should all make up!!
I agreed but was so bloody angry I dont know how I kept my temper.
I cant stay there much more, I really cant. At the end of the day I just want to be somewhere where I am happy and so is Kazzy.
Sorry this is long I just need to get it off my chest. The upshot is I went back to this other place this lunchtime and told them now that I was desperate to move him and the lady who keeps her horse there could see I was upset and she is going to persuade him to let me come, (She has known this man for a long time and has some clout h=with him)
So please everybody keep your fingers crossed that he says *YES*
I really cant take much more, if push comes to shove then I can take him to a field on his own (Which I dont want to) for a few weeks but has no stable till I find something suitable.
Why, oh why do people have to behave like this.
All this from what I thought was a friend, I always got on with her
and have always had a laugh, I have stood by her through everything that she has gone through with the YO and then she repays me with this.
Anyway, thanks for reading feel a bit better now I have wrote it down

Well thats it. Done and dusted. Moving him next Saturday to his new estate 6 stables and 30 acres of land all to myself well
the other two horses that are there aswell.
Roger says I can have the run of the place and do what I want when I want.
I am going back down at the weekend to sort the stable block out with hubby (he does come in use sometimes he's a joiner) then sort which field they are going in and hopefully life will be a lot more peaceful.
He is thinking of building a block of four stables away from the house and a barn and letting me sort out who comes on etc etc so hopefully everything will turn out ok in the end.
Thanks again.
I will post some piccies up before and after when I get round to it if I have time lol

This sounds better and better. And it sounds as if he will be closer to home than the one you were going to move to. It has been a worrying time for you but sounds as if it was worth it and you have got a good place to go to. |

Your new field sounds lovely with access to stable block. You could even take a friend with you for company. And how nice of you to offer to look after his moms two horses aswell at least they will have a horse person with them with there lami risk.
Stable block will be lovely and at least you got people to help you x
good luck |

The trails and tribulations of Kazbah Ellis eh!!! lol
My friend Yvonne who is 15 years older than me has known the 3 brothers all their lifes, and used to teach Andy and mark to ride, she used to run the WHitegate Pony Club and used to take them all trekking and camping for the pony club so I am sure he wouldnt mind Yvonne coming and helping me out, she was a very good friend of their mother.
Like people have said, its summer he will be sleeping out and if I need a stable there's one there infact theres 6 there!!!
It will need work doing on them and mucking out, he said it hasnt been touched in over 2 years, so Yvonne, Jill and my Mum and hubby and me are going to tackle it.
Thanks again anyway.
Gosh, why cant people just be nice these days and live and let live.
Luckily like Yvonne said I have some REALLY good friends who are helping me out and a mention to Sal aswell who I am E Mailing probably driving her crazy but she wont mind and saying all the right things.
Oh to win the Lotto and all my prayers would be answered.
Janet
ps. Edited to say what a wonderful bunch of people on here again listening and helping me out yet again. Thanks very much it really helps xx |

Hi Janet, no wonder you're in a dither!!
Definately NO to the place where the lady has made enemies of the Farrier and Vet - she sounds totally inflexible.
Sounds like Roger's mum's field is the way to go, especially if he is building new stables. Living out this time of year is fine, and maybe if you need a stable in an emergency, you could pop him in Roger's in his back garden?
It sounds perfect if your friend Yvonne is only five minutes away; may be worth checking he doesn't mind her and her horse visiting occasionally so you can 'mess around' together.
Good Luck X |

crikey janet!
what a rollercoaster!
i would personally never get rid of my vet or farrier.
this latest bit of news sounds good plus you are only 2mins from your friend
hope you get something sorted |

Right here goes another long one.
Went to see Andy the field owner last night and he wasnt there he was round at his Brothers Roger's!!!! Now Roger lived next door to his Mum who had 3 horses before she died, one of the horses went off to live somewhere else and he has been left with the other two!! and he has stables and about 25 acres of land that he doesnt know what to do with. Anyway, Spoke to Andy and he said I could bring him in the field and I said I really needed somewhere to put him for arest or if the weather turned and then Roger piped up what about Mum's stables, they need work doing and mucking out and as long as I dont bring loads of people down with me I could have the run of the place He didnt want the place turning into a livery yard with loads of horses and people.
I said I would look after his Mum's two into the bargain, because in all fairness he hasnt got a clue about horses and I know one of them suffered in the past with laminitis and she is just chucked out in the field. Anyway, I am phoning him tonight or tomorrow to they were going into a meeting about his Mum's old house about what they were going to do with it so I didnt want to hold them up because the other brother arrived.
I will be on my own but my friend Yvonne is literally 5 minutes walk away up the road were I would have liked to have gone but obviously no stables so....
Fingers crossed again for me that this all works out.
I said to Roger it might not be long term and I will look around for something thats right in the meantime and he said he was seriously thinking about having stables built in the field opposite his house
away from him (the stables now are in his back garden) so you never know!!
Can I just say thanks for everyone who has helped me with this I was such a dither yesterday, and I need to go with my gut instincts on this, if she is laying the law down about Darren my farrier what will
she start doing next.
No way am I getting rid of Darren or my vet they have been absolutely
brilliant to me and especially when I had all that with Bazz and her laminitis I couldnt have found a more caring loving vet and for that matter a Farrier. Darren came that day to say goodbye to her before I had her PTS and he left crying because he was that upset that he couldnt do anymore for her. Now that to me speaks volumes and he is highly regarded in this area, I mean most of the vets use him and like I said the local private equine hospital use him aswell.
Thanks anyway. I will let you know how i get on.
Oh and Btw I could walk him over so wouldnt need to find transport.

Just read this all at once---what a roller coaster. For what it's worth there is no way I would change my vet or farrier to accomodate other people. I know from your other posts how much help your farrier has been to you and good farriers are thin on the ground---hold on to him!, and a vet you trust is also something worth holding on to.The field sounds the best option ---though I know you worry about laminitis so won't want him out 24/7 probably----but, some of the big stables companies do actual stables, as opposed to field shelters, on skids, so I think you don't need planning permission for them.I agree with Geegee though---he would need company. |

So sorry to hear about all your troubles! Now you may want to shoot me but I shouldn't worry too much about the lack of stable on your friend's field; everything else sounds much better and like geegee says, there's already alarm bells for this other place. I know lots of horses who live out - mine do too - with NO harm to them at all; and you've got time to sort out a shelter if you feel the need to. I also know of many who have a shelter that never gets used, 'coz the horses simply choose to be out all weathers!
Does that help at all? good luck! |

Being told that my farrier and vet aren't liked and not welcome on her yard would ring alarm bells for me.... The fact that she has strong opinions about them says something about her character.
Will your horse have company with the field option? If so, I would go for that and ask if you could put a shelter up. At least you can look for another yard at your leisure and make sure that you are "Completely" happy before moving.....
Good luck |

Well done Janet - you'll be skipping down to see Kazzy (once you've got him moved), sorry not closer so can't help with transport.
Much less work for you now too - yay |

Oh God this is getting behond a joke now!!!
I dont know what to do, Help me please.
The lady who virtually has the run of the place who was very nice when I met has now said that my Farrier is not allowed on her yard!! She had a row with him about 2 years ago and said she is insistent that he was not allowed on the yard. She uses a different vet than me and says she doesnt like my vet either!!
Now I have been using my farrier for 6 years and has been absoluetly wonderful when all that was going on with Bazz and her laminitis, he is the main farrier for the vet I use and also the farrier for the local private equine hospital in Knutsford!!
Am I jumping out of the frying pan into the fire by moving him now!!
I have been offered a field with my friend who I have known for over 6 years and we get along brilliantly, she is such a lovely person but
there is no stables there at the moment. The owner of the place I know extremely well, we used to rent the cottage of his mother now she has died he has taken over everything. When I went to see him yesterday about something temporary he didnt hesitate and said *If you want to bring him now bring him I will always find something for you*
My friend Yvonne has said to go and see him again and see if I can put up a field shelter so he can go in there if the weather changes
or I need to stable him.
Oh my god what should i do?
If I am having second thoughts already I dont think i should move him.
What would you do? Would you change your farrier and vet to accomodate her, and what if something else goes wrong she doesnt like.

Posted - 08 Jun 2009 : 3:31:38 PM

At least you can enjoy spending time with your horses without those nasty people!
xx good luck |

Posted - 08 Jun 2009 : 2:45:43 PM
Well thats it. I'm Going
Been down today to see the yard owner and have arranged for him to go there. The field is a bit too big but am going to fence it off with electric fencing till the haymaking has been done then he's going to sort something more permanent out.
Now to get the little monkey in a box the last few times he has been really naughty and has kicked up a fuss!!
Cant wait to get him moved now.

Everything crossed for you and a new place! I think you have been very restrained, to your credit, because if someone told me what to do with my horses I think I could easily become quite violent. Luckily on my own now! And well done for still doing her horse, after all its not the horses fault, poor thing being owned by her! |

There is nothing worse than having the sanctuary of the place where your horse is being blighted like this. Sounds like you will be well out of there.... |

Ditto fingers crossed, we all deserve to enjoy our time with our horses not worry about who we might bump into, some people are just so hateful |

Keeping everything crossed for you Janet. Lift is too short and the last thing you need is dreading to go to the one place where you should find most enjoyment. Good luck.

Oh I am sooo sorry for you.....people can be soo unkind, I never understand it as you are all there to enjoy the loves of your life and life is so hard as it is, my heart goes out to you because I know how people can be and it really hurts, it hurts even more when its from someone that you have supported and stood by when their times are tough, I will keep everything crosses for you and say a prayer, you deserve some happiness with your horse and should be able to look forward to any time you get to spend with your horse, not dread going. Big hug to you x |
