Well those of you that have followed (im new so doubt that many 
lol)
Long story short
Moved horse in Dec to yard with individual turnout
Had helper/friend that was to turn out and bring in for me 3 days a week
my boy becuase progressively fizzier, harder to handle, unhappier generally not himself at all
Fell off 3 times resulting in cracked ribs and bruised confidence
Snow came shortly after so still no work for my horse.
Went to get back on and had some issues
Helper takes it upon himself to trim my horses feet...
catch helper overdosing my boy on carrots... quite literally and hard feed.
Catch helper riding my horse out first in a head collar... and then with random tack on that i have since found out from a fellow livery looked far to narrow just from a distance.
Moved horse back to his old yard with herd turnout.
He played up massively on the trailer
Had a spazz when i put him in a stable I had made up for him
Was then very happy and content when put in his old stable next to his old stable mates
Had a play in the school this morning with his mates although still a tad bolshy but vmuch much happier already
All in all, you live and learn, i will never ever put him on individual turnout again, or let him have too many carrots or too much hard feed. Feeling pretty guilty that i put him on individual in the first place and the things that were going on with helper under my nose however all is well that ends well! Helper apologised (in his own way i supose) before i left, YO's were lovely and happy for me to go up and continue to help a fellow livery/friend out. Yard i have returned to has always been like a home from home and I feels great to be back. YO's are like family to me and so glad everything that previously happened that resulted in me moving in the first place is water under the bridge.
So i am feeling pretty battered and bruised from so much work yesterday, being hauled about by my excited horsey and barged into ect (note to self, my right arm is not stronger than my 16hh Irish Draught X entend on getting out of stable so not point putting it there and being stubborn)
So alls well that ends well!! thanks for reading if you made it to the bottom! And also thanks for all the advise so far, (I am sure I will need more in future) but i really did base my desicions on alot of the advice given so much apreciated!
ALLS WELL THAT ENDS WELL...!
