It's gonna happen - yard move

[putasocinit]

Some of you will remember my post re the lady who rescued me when I couldn't find anywhere to keep my horses and then proceeded to remind me everyday that I was now occupying her field and boxes that her horses could go in, whilst they had their own boxes and a choice of 6 others fields to go in, and then her friend was also telling her that if I wasn't there, but then that's not forgetting all I do for her repair fences, strim fields, muck out her boxes when she is away for 3 days, walking her dogs, carrying her straw, poo picking her fields etc oh yes I do it all.

Well we have had a quiet 3 weeks, until she started the other day, yelling and screaming at me about where is she going to store hay for winter as I am using 2 boxes, she still has another 2 spare, her horses have had abscess because they are not in the field I am in (if she picked their feet out and got the farrier once in a while) they wouldn't have problems. She doesn't need anybody she is better on her own, so I said to her that was untrue because she is always calling on someone to help her to do something so she does need people, anyway I have had enough.

So I called a lady who has said yes and I go to meet her on Monday (vibes for me please) she has 16x16 boxes, rather than the 8x10 I am in at present. She will give hay at night and if I can't get their in winter she will do them for me, does this sound real or am I going to wake up and it was only a dream. She also said I could ride in the field if I don't want to go on the road, whereas current yard has done nothing but moan about me riding in the field even though you wouldn't know I had ridden in it, no foot prints left.

Obviously I should go for it, but how am i gonna tell her.

Sorry so long.

Well done for finding something that sounds nice that you can hopefuly move to. I would tell her by saying thank you so much for letting you stay there and that you know she needs the stables for hay and her horses and you hope you have not been too much of an inconvenience that way she is tactfully reminded that she has been the one making you feel uncomfortable when she discovers that she now has to do everything herself

She sounds a nightmare! Unless you have a written contract in place that says otherwise I'd be inclined to wait until she starts complaining again and when she says that she'd rather be on her own just smile sweetly and say "Don't worry that's all in hand, I'll be out on such and such a date." She'll probably be horrified at having to walk her own dogs etc.

I'd be wary of telling her too far in advance, she sounds the type to want you off immediately if she gets too upset.

Good luck, I hope the new place works out!
