Aaaaaaaaaaand so it continues . . .

This was on another thread. No-one will swap, which is why I was asking the question about whether it is the two FMs who are the reason, or that no-one wants a stressy horse in their field.

No'one wants to move INTO my field . . . three fields have said they'd be happy to have my horse in with theirs, but no'one from those fields is willing to move in with my existing FMs because they have witnessed their behaviour towards me and my horse.

I swore I wouldn't respond any further to this thread, but I really am fed up of my boy being labelled (on here) a nightmare. He isn't. Neither am I. Reality is that I'm stuck in a difficult place. As I have said on another thread, I am looking for another yard . . . and/or hanging on until two liveries leave and I can move my boy to another field. Those are my options. Nothing else.

^^ This.

I'm quite luckily in that the other geldings in Ronnie's field are all good on their own and I expect Ron to behave himself when left alone too, i'd feel such a liability to other liveries if I knew they would have to bring him in. It's different though as we also have yard manager on hand if we are late or anything and I haven't read the entire thread so sorry if I am jumping the gun.

Just an example though; this is the hill up to our turnout paddocks. It looks okay in this photo, and whilst all of us and the horses are used to the walk, it does get really tyring and is steeper in real life. At the moment because of the unusual and overwhelming amount of rain it is basically one big slope of wet mud, even the grassy bits at the side give little to no grip.

It would drive me totally insane if every time I went to get Ron I had to take another as well.
Taking two down at a time is do-able as they are all well behaved, but sod walking anything that was remotely excitable down with/without Ronnie. I can understand how it must be for them, but obviously I have no idea what you're yard is like, i'm just trying to show you an example from another viewpoint.

Like others, I think you've either got to go to a yard that has a rule that suits you regarding bringing in, get a companion or organise a sharedystem with someone else.
Best for your horse as well, it would be horrible to think he could injure himself from something so easily sorted :( Good luck.

ps. Although I can see both points of view, the way they have gone about it seems like really poor social management by the YO. I'd move.

That yard is stunning!
 
OP whilst you are looking and waiting, it is winter go down at 1pm bring your boy in put him to bed, he would still have had the morning out and stuff em all!
