That's because I was away working that week and she was doing them. Is that ok?

Unfortunately no I didn't give too much info. We are not children and I am in my thirties. There are five horses there, 4 on £20 per week, so it then doesn't become peppercorn rent for him does it. I'm glad you can probably afford a small fortune but some of us do have to budget a little. He...

The horse protection league are really good. you can email them and ask for advice or call them.

It's his field shelter. We have made the decision to find somewhere else. Problem is we are hoping to move in the spring out of the area and I don't want to unsettle the horses as my cob is very sensitive and doesn't settle very well. But to be honest I want to be able to give her more quality...

Thanks Toby Z. I didn't realise sis had posted. It's been going on a while. I'm glad you read her post.

Thanks for your comments. He has two very able sons and a guy who doesn't pay for his horse who does jobs around the place. He owns the yard and the house, and yes I have endometriosis and have had a brain haemorrhage so no I won't be straining anything to move it. Give him a break you say, yes...

I have tried to talk to him. I have been banging on his door for the past two evenings but he won't answer. I have been at this place for a few years and I know how he works. He is even thinking of putting the electric on only at certain times and if we aren't there on time, off it will go...

I'd like to put him on top of the bonfire! He's stolen my spade as well!! Trouble is it is so close to where I live (walkable). I'm just so frustrated with it.

As most of the country experienced bad weather over the weekend and last few days, I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem to me. Where myself and my sister keep our horses is really a small holding rather than a yard. The old man who we call the yard owner is in his seventies and a real...

That is only a few miles from me. Heard it on the news on the way to work. No doubt I will hear whose poor horses they were in due course. Really tragic.

It was really bad here (Kent) on Sunday. Lost a filed shelter, well I say lost, it was upside down in the next field, so couldn't put mine or my sister's horse out. Bloody yard owner left it, fence down and nowhere to put our horses. Really bad again this morning and I think the second shelter...

I would say that she should have let you know beforehand. She knows you leave for work early. And she is much closer to the yard than you. A quick phone call wouldn't have gone amiss, especially as it's a completely DIY yard and there is no one else.

That's really sad Henmen. I took redundancy last year after 11 years at the same company. I was looking forward to spending more time with horse, free time and all of the above. After a short while it does actually become quite lonely and it isn't much fun. It was six months before I found...

It's amazing how much it varies, but then facilities count for alot. (Wish we had some). We are at a private yard. The YO is about 500 years old and doesn't help at all apart from perving at us in the summer!! I pay £20 per week and get a leaky stable and good grazing. We don't have a sand...

My Mare goes down on her knees in the road sometimes. I bought some knee pads for her and never ride out without them now. She is quite nervy and rather than shy or jumps, she sometimes falls down. At first I was really upset and worried about it, but it is part of the way she deals with things...
