Asked to leave livery yard

It might make good business sense but it shows a p155 poor lack of people skills imo, and a well run yard where staff and clients feel safe and happy usually involves good people skills.
A fairer resolution would have been yo taking them both aside and basically told any more from any of you and you will both be asked to leave so make your peace and resolve it or go.
Yes the yo can ask anyone to leave for any/no reason and theres nothing you can do about it but believe me theres many who will see it as unfair but say nothing in case the suffer the same fate. I personally could not stay on a yard like this.
What has the other party got to say about it ?
 
I think you have to ask yourself hand on heart whether things got out of hand

If they didnt AND if you have been a really well behaved livery at all times I would approach the other owner and tell them firmly but nicely that THEY forgot to do your horse on that day and YOU are being thrown off the yard because of your perfectly acceptable reaction

(Assuming of course that it was perfectly reasonable)

Ask them if that seems fair and would they please speak with the YO to see if anything can be done provided that you stay out of their way in the future

If you cannot say it out loud then put it in a card with a bunch of flowers

Whether you felt you were right to be angry or not you need to do some serious arse kissing if you want to stay. they hold all the cards and they know it.
 
Mmmmmm, perhaps this person with the several horses has told the YO that she'll move if you don't? In which case your sadly scuppered OP.

Once things are soured its usually it IMO and its just a question of where and when. I'm moving next week after 3 good years where I got on well with everyone. A new person falls into the mix and boom! It's done me a favour tbh as I've got a new yard and a new job out of it. Sometimes these things happen for a reason even though it doesn't feel like it at the time. Good luck!
 
The yard owner should have spoken privately to both parties and then asked them to meet and resolve their problems.
From what you have posted it sounds as if both parties were at fault and I would have asked them to sort it our between themselves but if they are unable to do so asked both parties to remove their horses.
Although you state this is a well run yard the fact that they do not issue a contract to new liveries this would shed them in bad light if an incident ever ended up in the hand of lawyers.
 
I think I'd be looking to leave anyway.

If someone 'forgot' to do my horse after I'd done favours for them I would not have been happy at all. Now you may have asked the other livery to do yours as a favour but it was a 2 way agreement between you and the least she should have done was apologise.

For the YO to treat you differently than the other livery implies either favouritism or your YO doesn't give a whotsit - either of which would be enough to make me want to leave.
