What an awful experience, I am glad you have left that environment I hope the horses settle and you find a good yard soon. Not all Full Livery yards are like that, I am happy on mine, but we have to put a lot of trust in the Yard staff and these sound awful.
What if you had been riding a sedated horse and something happened, they are lucky they haven't caused you or someone else a serious injury by administering sedatives and not telling you before you get on.
I know of horses who have been given a small amount of sedalin prior to being turned out after a long period of box rest on our yard but always with Vet and Owner consent.
Whether or not you pursue the matter through legal channels having blood tests will allow you to know what levels your horses have and what their immediate management should be (riding etc.). I would also be telling everyone I know about my experience to ensure no one else is put at risk.
