Just to answer a few queries; the yard does not offer DIY at this time so to the member who recommended this approach (to which I can see some logic) it isn't a possibility at this time.

My horse didn't have a problem - I didn't bring him there as a problem horse. This has developed in the last 3 months or so. The problem is, the handlers are not experienced or competent with anything other than a plod. Yet the yard advertise being able to take on problem horses...I expect the...

That is exactly it. They have been "ordered" to do it. He has never been a difficult horse, and it is literally within the last 3 months or so that the "problems" have started. Kenzo - my dilemma at the moment, trying to organise alternatives! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who...

YO was going to. They break/produce horses and provide schooling livery. The idea of him being there was that he would be settled in an environment he knew and wouldn't be stressed at moving somewhere for a few weeks to be broken in etc. Thought I was doing right by him. So no, he can't go...

Many thanks for all the replies. I have calmed down somewhat after venting on here. I will post an update in due course once I have got everything sorted i.e. yard move etc. Hopefully we'll have some better news at that time. Thank you for letting me vent.

I did wonder when someone would start with the, "should you even have a youngster etc." I work long hours yes, and I can't get up and see my horse as much as I would like and I am having these problems. As I said in my original post, he was due to begin backing next week (this is now subject...

That is exactly what it feels like. Not bother sorting an issue out, make it worse and then wonder why I'm angry. Will be interesting once I have had a chat to them anyway. Find out why they think they are justified in doing this. My poor ponio :(

Oh sorry, I get what you mean now! That is a good idea, I hadn't thought of that, definitely worth considering :)

That is what I supposedly pay for at the moment...s*** isn't it?

Nope, wasn't me previously! This is the first time I have brought it up on here so not sure who else has had a similar problem. I can't do DIY because of my work hours as I have explained previously. My friend can't help; she is on part livery for the same reasons as me. Trying to get...

Unfortunately I'm not always guaranteed a lunch break! If I get a call I have to go and could be called anywhere. My work is so unpredictable in that sense I just cannot have him on DIY nearby in case I can't get to him. This just sucks. I am so disappointed with what has gone on and so upset my...

There isn't anywhere that I know of, this is the problem. I then also need to source another place to break him in. Any yard recommendations between High Wycombe and Aylesbury would be preferred. I am not in this area but it would make things easier if he could be kept in that area. I need part...

The YO and some staff are experienced in handling youngsters etc but YO and YM rarely turn out anymore and it seems to be the weekend girls who are younger that are using a damn chifney on my horse. My friend is going to meet with me and YO so the attitude that "it is just me" can't be taken...

I am a regular user but posting under another name for anonymity. I have been at my yard for 18 months and own a young horse who is due to be beginning backing next week. I have owned said horse since they were a weanling. I have never had a problem with manners, groundwork etc and granted...
