We moved 400 miles north last September and whilst buying our own land we kept our 2 ponies and 2 horses at a yard advertising livery vacancies. We moved them onto our own land in November.
I have just been told that while our horses and ponies were at the (loosely termed) livery yard a local contractor went to give a quote for some work. As he and his wife have competition horses he noticed ours and asked the yo whose they were. Apparently the yo said they were his and that they had been "donated" to him!
As if! The contractor (who ironically lives a few hundred yards from our own field and building plot) was put right by some mutual friends and suspects this was an attempt at keeping the quote down as admitting to £100 a week income from liveries would have reduced "bargaining power" but was also out of pure jealousy.... I am fuming! How dare someone " lay claim" to our animals? I suppose I should be flattered but this is the last of a long string of incidents and lies by these people! Livery yard my ****.
