Abusive Yard Owner

[Thalassa]

For the last 6 months the yo at our yard has become horrendous. She tells you what you should and shouldn’t be doing and has a go at liveries for doing something that she doesn’t like (pulling tails or riding in a bit that she doesn’t like for example). A couple of days ago she phoned me, insulted me and had a go at me about putting hay on the floor for my horses!!! Due to being at the end of my tether I no longer could bite my tongue and told her I did not like the way she was speaking to me. She ended up swearing at me, saying “ F you” and hung up.
I’m obviously leaving after this latest incident however I begrudge pay for 2 horses part livery (£670) notice for a month when I’m leaving due to her abusive manner and horrendous attitude.
I have yard lined up and seriously thinking of moving today. Is it going to cause more issues than it’s worth by not paying my notice?

Yes it will.

I too would begrudge it, but word will get around and you will have a reputation as a non-paying livery.

Your sanity and your horses are more important. I would move ASAP and pay the notice period.

Definitely pay and get the hell out of there.

I'd get out of there today, but pay the notice period and make sure everybody on the hard knows that you've paid so she can't badmouth you after you've gone.

This..and also tell everyone that it was worth every penny to get her out of your life.

Sadly have to agree, as unfair as it seems. What a really horrible situation op. Hope the move go’s well and your all happy at the new yard.

Definitely pay and get the hell out of there.

This. And be very vocal about why you’re leaving to anyone that will listen.
