just got home from the yard and im upset :(

I wonder if this is part of the problem - a) you are not veiwed as a client if you know what i mean or b) is the lady your paying, paying the yard on time?

I only ask this as a girl was on our yard, and she was paying the horse owner, the horse owner was not paying the livery yard manager - so the loaner got all the grief and unpleasantness ?

^^^ I was thinking the same as Gingerwitch^^^

I wish my parents would get involved, but unfortunately I'm 44, so it wouldn't look that credible

I honestly don't think age has much to do with it. If a person is on a yard of mean spirited, interfering busy bodies, the only thing to do is move I think.

PMSL, Catpawn!

I don't agree with the move thing, although the social aspect for me is quite important. Confront bullies and don't give them an inch. They need telling and I think having your mum or dad putting up the haynet in the place the YO said and loudly saying 'Here, where the YO said?' will help. If they start again when no-one else is there, sigh, roll your eyes, give it the 'whatever' attitude and carry on anyway. Annoy the YO so much with anything they (or she!) does that they stop annoying you.

I think YO is probably hurting because you think her horse is no longer good enough for you. May not be how you said it but it could well be what she heard

I would have to speak to YO to sort out storage of tools etc. The adams family you are next door to I would ignore, carry on as YO tells you to, and if they make comments (how immature of them) a well timed "pardon, I didn't catch that could you repeat it please?" or "gosh. Did you mean that to sound so rude?" can work. If they are determined then feel free to just completely blank them.
