How do tou cope with

[sherbet]

Clicks on the yard we are a small yard which I run over the last two weeks two liviers have come to me and said they dont feel part of it etc. I said I was sure it would pass as people pair of with each other at different times.

But over the last few days I have felt it conversations stop as you round a courner and the people disapear into there own space etc and its my yard!!!!

I hate this kind of thing as maybe I was stuipid but thought I ran a happy yard where everyone got along. Sat this morning thinking I really dont want to go to my yard - very silly I knew but how to you all cope, head down and get on with it I surpose

If you think there are underlying problems then you could put on the notice board that you are calling a yard meeting on x date and if anyone has a problem/gripe then bring it to your attention before hand and you will deal with it all at the meeting.

Obviously this would only apply to the way the yard is run with rules etc unless its a horse welfare issue of course

But then I may not know what I'm talking about so feel free to ignore me

Have you got someone new on the yard? I don't have experience of yards but when it is work it is usually one person and often a decision that has been made that they don't like so the trouble begins as they round the troups up on their side, or a bit of envy/jealousy usually, the dynamics change for one reason or another

I tend to keep out of them. I reassure the clients who aren't in the clique but the ones who are I don't get involved. I have also found that if I ride with the ones who feel left out the others suddenly find them interesting and ask them if they want to join them....funny but true.
