hello

ok so my spelling is terrible :eek: but you get the general gist of my post.

My yard i consider us a family we even call ourselves the get along gang :D :D
We go out for curry and i am having an Ann Summers party where all is invited :p
Not to mention the Xmas party.

We are very friendly to all that comes to the yard so i was wondering am i lucky or is this the norm????

I have only been at my yard since march but my last yard was really friendly to the point that not much riding was done as there was too much coffee drinking hehehe :p

So tell me your stories.
 
I share a yard with my friend so all is fine but the last livery yard I was at was awful. If you were not part off the pony club or hunted you were not part off the crowd.
 
Same at my yard. We all get on very well, but that could be down to not seeing each other all of the time. We are all supportive of each other and look out for each others horses and will rescue them from their latest dramas!
 
My yard is lovely and we get together quite a bit (usualy at my house as I'm closest to yard) for good times. Cheese and Port seems to be the in thing at the mo!! We are all very close and I consider myself very lucky to have such great mates!
 
we have a gang! we have matching numnahs and go on extreme 7 hour hacks! (but get on with all of the untrusted non- inner circle people as well)
 
only 4 liveries at my yard but we all get on. We even get invited into the YO house for mince pies and mulled wine at Christmas.

We all look out for each other's horses and I teach the 3 kids who have the two ponies. It's a lovely place and I'm very happy there.
 
We all get on well, there is the YO, the YM, and 4 diy liveries. We all go to shows together, go out for meals, go to the YOs house for supper, Christmas, parties etc. We all ride out together (not all at once!) and sometimes share lessons etc. Nobody bitches, everyone will muck in and bring eachothers horses in, it is really nice. There was one properly unpleasant person who thankfully has left. The yard is a nice place without her - it got to the point where the YO would purposely refrain from coming from the house into the yard if she was there, which is pretty bad! :)
 
no not really :) i'm on a big yard so yes there are what i would call groups of friends but nothing nasty- just normal- so the mums all hang about together and the teenagers etc. its great! old yard was very cliquey in the end it was horrid :(

oh no thats terrible. we had one girl who was like a stalker :eek: have you ever seen single white female well i am sure had we let her she would have copied EVERYTHING but has also gone :p

do you think people like that ever settle or just keep moving ???
 
Our yard is huge! There are certain people who stick together in little groups, but everyone is polite. There is the normal comments that fly about and the people to avoid e.t.c.

I say hello to everyone, but there are only a couple of people that I properly talk to and do things with. Those two people I see outside the yard too.

It is like anywhere, the more people you have, the more little groups will form.
 
Not at all.

There are only five of us, one I rarely see (her horse is retired and lives out), one I dislike (condesending, up her own arse, tight, thinks the world owes her a living) but I am polite and just ignor any snide comments. The others are lovely and we get on well.
 
I am on a fairly big yard, 13 full liveries up the top and 12 diy/assisted down the bottom.

When I first arrived I found it to be lovely and I got on with everyone (I was on DIY) but now I have moved up to the top yard onto full livery I find that the bottom yard can be very immature and b*tichy... There seems to be a divide between us and them and its horrible. I have found that the people up the top that are paying more money for full livery seem to be so much more mature and grown up, I find myself being thankfull that I am not part of that clique down the bottom, I stay well out of it all now!!

Dont know if this applies to all yards as I was on an all DIY yard before and that was b*tichy also... I just think that when its a big yard there is always going to be some element of gossiping etc, its whether you rise to it or not!

Lol, do you have days when you fall out with yourself?

Our yard is lovely there are about 12 of us some with more than one horse, we sometimes go out socially, we all have off days but are able to laugh about it the next day and when you want advice you ask for it but nobody minds if you decide not to take it. :)
 
Nope not really tbh! Whenever I am there I am the only one! I offen don't see anyone for weeks :) I like it that way tbh... I must come across as a bit of a moody one I say my hellos and goodbyes if I see someone but apart from that I am always in my own world lol
