How do I word it... is it justified... is it just a rant?

I’ll keep chasing for the money, and their new YO is picking up their horse so I will make a point of mentioning it front of everyone that they are leaving with an unpaid invoice…

Make sure you do that after the horse is loaded up!

This, get them gone first, or you might get left with the horse

What about all their crap? Will this be gone by the end of the notice period? If not, your husband my well be building that bonfire he desires.

What is the "stuff"? Is it worth anything? Can you keep it until they pay?

Make sure you point out the bags of their stuff, they’ll probably tell the new YO they’re leaving because of your mess!
Print the invoice with a big OVERDUE in red on it and pin to the door so it’s easily seen!

I'd certainly chase for the money a few times, I'd also send a letter before action, threatening smalls claims court, but I'd be glad to be rid and would write it off rater than prolong any hassle via trying o retain the horse or belongings, or actually taking out a claim against her.

I would bin or keep leftover belongings after the notice period though - just make sure you tell her that up front.

I would smile sweetly and not rock the boat at all - UNTIL the horse has left the yard.
The last thing you want is the new YO having a change of heart. The poor new YO will find out soon enough what the livery person is like.
All well and good saying sell the horse to reclaim the debt - but selling horses is a total pain at the best of times.
Once they are firmly gone, lock on gate with new key - then you can think about how much effort you want to do to, to collect what is due. Or whether the stress of it is best left in the past !

I hope at least you no longer feel any guilt now that your former friend has shown her true colours. She may be in a difficult situation now, and be someone you were close to in the past, but things - and people - change. She is an adult who is responsible for the choices she has made and for her current behaviour.

Don't mention the debt! Just smile and say it's been a very stressful year, and you have had to shut the yard. Do not risk the YO unloading the horse and driving off!

When new YO has got the horse loaded point out the bags of stuff/ crap and remind her not to leave it behind, then help her load it into the box/trailer.

Wow - yes I guess. I'm marshmallow like in that regard having sold 1 horse in the last 20 years (and that to someone I knew well who'd shared, then loaned him for 2 years prior to that).
You'd still need a passport presumably? and have to pay for new micro chip / vet drawing to get that - so 4-6 weeks of paying to look after him and the vets / PIO costs which would all mount up.
That presumes the poor thing is worth more than the knackerman would pay.

I'd ask her if she wants her rubbish or is she wants it disposing of. If she wants it she takes it there and then if not have your bonfire - it'll make your feel better and there might be something in there worth having. Forget about the money and just put it down to experience. Change the locks and be glad she's buggered off.
That's what I would do.

As tempting as it is I would be careful not to end up with her unable to leave as new YO doesnt want her... Play the long game and get her gone first!

Don’t do that for goodness sake. New YO may refuse to take the horse….:

Wait until she has gone then go to the new yard and ask to see yo don't let on you know she is there, just say you are looking for a livery that left your yard without paying and your trying to track them down.
I've done this before with liveries that did a late night flit owing money.

All the stuff is in the back of new yard pick up which has a massive back and it filled. They looked a bit concerned.
Its going to be weird to have no random people showing up at 10pm tonight.
I was going to be good and not have any wine but since you have suggested it....
