A little bit of back of background first... I keep my horses on a livery yard. Primarily, it is full liveries, but there is a group of about 7 of us on DIY. We always help each other when we can and this has worked well up until now. We are all going on holiday around the same time so it leaves my two with no one to do them for 3 of the days i'm away. My plan was to get a local freelance to do them for me and this was all arranged. Although, my YM has said she doesn't allow any freelancer on site as it is steeling her business.
Now, here's my issue... Yes there are staff on site all day, who theoretically could do them BUT quite honestly, i wouldn't trust them with my hamster, let alone my babies... There has been quite a few instances where they have proved they are either incompetent or just stupid. So, my question is where do i stand? Surely i have a right to decide who does my horses when i'm away from home? Or am i being completely unreasonable? I haven't said a lot to YM as i was quite shocked and didn't really know if i had a leg to stand on. Please be brutally honest, as i know you always are
