Hi all, I posted a few days ago after a problem with the so-called friend I sublet my stable/field from. To cut a very long moan short,
she sent me a series of unpleasant texts accusing me of nicking hay to overfeed my horse(who is on a restricted diet because she's a bit of a lard*rse!!) and not pulling my weight re the taking turns turning out/bringing in and feeding(this is despite head girl on adjoining BHS yard telling her that she was taking merciless advantage of my good nature,because I was always being seen
to be doing her two horses every evening through the winter, not that I minded, as far as I'm concerned the job needed doing,I was there so I did it!!)
Anyway,this occured last Weds, now Sunday and said friend has been up three times since then, all three at 4.45-5pm, all three after all yard work has been done by.......guess who? I have come to the conclusion that this arrangement is no longer tenable
for Blaze and myself. I think that the problem stems from the fact that I loaned Blaze for 3 months from this woman before buying her last October, and during the loan period I was helping with her horses as part of the arrangement(I also contributed a cash sum) and I think she regards me as an unpaid groom! I thought we were just helping each other out but it has become clear that the help is only coming from me! I just want to come up to the yard and enjoy my horse, not have silly rows over who picks up the most poo!!!
I am now looking for a new stable/field for Blazey. She would like access to turnout 24/7 in summer and in at night in winter and some company would be preferable. I would like a small,FRIENDLY
yard(!!!) somewhere to store hay/straw and a place for my storage bin, electricity (esp.lights) and a place to school would be nice. Blaze is 15hh,7yr old cob mare and I am 47yr old female
married with three teenage kids,working part time. I have BHS qualifications and lots of experience,esp. with showjumpers. I am currently paying £28 pw for stable/field and buy my own feed and
bedding. I can also use two sand schools and an indoor school but to be honest I would trade those extras for a happy yard and someone to hack with!I am in Ramsgate,Kent and my present yard is Manston/Woodchurch. If anyone has a vacancy or knows anyone who could help,I would be grateful. Thank you. xx
PS. Anyone got a sharp knife to cut this atmosphere ;D ;D
