At the yard we are at, i totally love it, there are 2 stable blocks and we rent one block ourselves for £50 a week (10 stables), there is a smaller stable block that is used for YO's daughters horse, his gf's horse and then one livery that keeps 2 shetties.

We share the arena but its generally ours from 2pm onwards. We have our own fields but we all decided to share to help keep grass for the winter months.

About 2 months back the one livery there brought up YO's quad from YO's drive, we have no idea why. He started messing around with it, we were sitting in our jeep munching our lunch. OH door was open and he started reversing the quad towards his door so hubby closed the door to stop him hitting it. Guy on the quad then hit the throttle and hit the side of our jeep, leaving a huge dent in the rear door. Cost us £300 to repair and we sent the guy the bill. Started receiving nasty texts from him. He said that it was OH's fault for closing his door!

We would come up to the yard and if he was there he would start making snide comments to us, one was pure nasty saying "Some day that b***h is going to come up and find her horses dead".

Tried to ignore him but got to the stage were OH said that i wasnt to go to the yard without him as he was scared that he would start on me. We all share a large tack room, it is locked with a key code padlock.

Told YO about this guy and he said that he would have a word with him. As the guy on livery has nothing in the tack room YO said to change the code for the tack room as he had threatened to lift some of my tack as he left his PS2 in our house and we are refusing to give it back until he pays up, also he has a TV that belongs to us.

Tonight the guy arrives, i was in YO's house as he offered to make us dinner. He calls YO to ask the code for the tack room as he claims he has wormers in there. YO let him in to the tack room but couldnt find the wormers, he automatically blamed me, saying i used his wormers on my horses the day before. Its a lie, i did worm my horses but it was my own which are the same brand as his. Took YO up and showed him my supply of wormers. it was ME that bought the wormers for his horses as they needed done so bought my own some at the same time!!! So they were the same brand etc.

Its now getting upsetting going up, if hes around hes just so nasty. YO said if hes around then he will come up if he starts on me. Hes getting annoyed with this guy and has told him that if he doesnt stop then hes out.

His shetties are only seen to 1-2 times a week, they are getting skinny and i used to throw my food in with them as i felt sorry for them. I used to be really good to this guy, making him his dinner etc but since asking the money off him hes being a right d**k. For the last month they havent left the stable once!

He told YO tonight that hes looking for a new place to move his horses to, YO said that he wouldnt stop him. I had said to YO a week back that i had enough and i was going to start looking for a new yard although im not wanting to. He said he wouldnt stop me moving but he doesnt want us to go and hoped we would stay on.

Im very good friends with them, he would come to ours with his daughter and gf, and weve all become close. This guy has been a prick to YO's daughter too. No one likes him anymore and his horses have been reported by YO's gf as they are so underweight. Im worried that he will blame me for reporting him.

Ive just had enough, hes abusive to his horses, punching them in the face etc. Im terrified that he is going to start punching my lot!!
 
Really sorry to hear this, it sounds a nightmare! Hopefully he will leave soon. I would like the YO to be a bit more proactive though!

Apart from that, I think you should be keeping a diary of what he does, just in case you need to start to get the police involved.
 
He owes the YO money too, he said thats the only reason that hes keeping him at the yard. He told him tonight that he thinks its a good idea that he finds somewhere else to go. Hes sick of the state of the horses and constantly having to chase him for the money for livery.

When he was talking to the guy tonight he kept his phone on so we could hear what was being said. When the guy asked for the tack room code he told him he doesnt need it as he doesnt keep anything in the room. The guy started giving off about me taking his wormer and YO said he should be more worried about paying the damage to the Jeep than the wormer.

Im not looking to getting the guy chucked out, i just want him to back off and pay the money.
 
I agree, keep a diary ( or is that dairy

Not nice for you

Your Yo owner sounds too soft in my opinion ... If it where me I would be chucking him out on his ear .

Our Yo takes no pee taking around the yard even though its only me, amanda and another livery .
If he was at our yard he would be booted off immediately .

I do feel for you though , your in n.ireland arent you ?
 
Thats were it gets complicated, hes a member of some church group and they all paid a small share in him, however he pays livery, the other one belongs to his gf. He bought her the horse for christmas last year.

Im not just saying this because of what happened but the horses (both young and stallions) are badly underweight, you can see their hip bones and ribs, they look just right because of winter coats but they are so lifeless. He once put them in a stable together so he could save money but the bigger one near killed the smaller one, it never received any veterinary treatment. They are both scratching like crazy, and my heart goes out to them as they are both sweet horses.

Yeah im in northern ireland. Ive been to 2 bad yards and when we arrived here it really felt like we were home! I love everything about the yard and my horses have never been happier. They are brillant to me, if i have any horses in then they will feed for me in the morning, they keep an eye on the horses and if one has a surcingle off in the field they are straight down and fix it. If i have trouble getting to the yard then they offer to come get me! When Mia foaled they told me to stay at the house as i was going to camp in the jeep lol.

Deep down i think this guy is jealous as YO would text me when im at the yard to come have a cuppa, we get invited out to parties with them and YO would come do wee jobs for me around the house. His daughter is a very good friend of mine, she can be annoying but shes helped me out with my riding/horses so much. Infact tonight she cleaned out 2 of mine for me while i did the other 2.

In return i look after her horse when shes at college. So weve all become a team. We did try and involve him but he spent so much time slabbering about different people in the yard. We were always so good to him, if he had trouble getting to yard we would give him a lift, when he was kicked out of his last house he stayed with us for a while, gave him some old things around the house to help him set up his new house, we even helped him move.

OH said ive got to stop being so soft, he said ive got to stop helping people out but i cant help it. He told the girl weve picked for godmother, that we didnt want her and we were telling everyone that!!!
