Dealing with yard bullies

Hi everyone,
After spending nearly 2 years travelling 2 hours a day to do my horse, I was finally able to move her less than 1 mile from my house in May. It is a lovely yard, with decent school and plenty of space for all my stuff, but it’s a small yard with 4 horses and 3 owners.
The 2 other liveries are best friends (which is fine as to be honest I wouldn’t choose to be friends with them out of choice anyway) and they have done nothing but made my life difficult and me feel uncomfortable since moving.

i try to keep myself to myself, I am out most weekends with the trailer
I really feel for you! Bullying is the lowest form of contempt. They have no reason whatsoever to be contemptuous of you, however, some people just can't help themselves, you can be the nicest most accommodating person in the world, sounds like you are, but still there will be those who only have belittling, gaslighting and seeing another person suffer on their minds. The most important thing here is: is your horse happier, has he settled down with the others in the yard? The fact that you have freedom with your trailer is a big plus, that it is down the road from where you live, huge plus, look at all the plusses and weight them up. AS far as these little darlings is concerned. Keep your chin very high and your back very straight, give of a sense of relaxation and happiness, because you are with your horse, you couldn't be happier...right. So that's all that matters, the less you give out the less fun they will have. When they confront you ignore it, completely. You can always retort with 'if you have a problem with me, speak to my sponsor' ;)
