Just sitting thinking.. some of my closest friends are people I met on a yard when I first bought Mick 5 years ago. One of them I talk to on email every day. The others I still keep in touch with - we all seemed to leave and go different ways.

Do you keep in touch / stay good friends when you or they have left a yard or are these people just passing aquaintences??

We have kept in touch with a few people, but not many. i think its like any stage in life, leaving school etc - you take with you the people who are important and mean something, but everyone else stays behind! xxxx
 
I was out with 2 friends last night. I met them on the first yard I was on, about 6/7 years ago. We have become good friends and try and meet up once a month, as well as being in touch via email regularly.
 
Kept in touch with trainers more than people from the yard. My first yard I didn't keep in touch, my second yard I see folk round the village to say hello to but the christmas cards stopped long ago (left in 2001) my last yard still see the yard owners every month or so & one or 2 others. But not very regularly
 
yeah I keep in touch with those that I want to basically and they are great we dont have to speak everyday or that often but when we do it's like we've not been apart and we catch up with all the goss....
I dont speak to anyone though at my current yard
 
I keep in touch with a select few people, one that I hope we never loose contact as i class her as an amazing friend
 
I've only ever been on yards for short periods of time, but I still keep in contact with the lady whose field/stables I rented for 12yrs, 10yrs ago.

They had a permanent gardener who lived in a tied cottage on the property, with his family, so I also keep in touch with them.

I had to move out when the husband and father of the house died, and the wife sold up. It was a very sad day. I'm sure I'd still be there now : (
 
Kezz, that make me laugh re the current yard. I keep in touch with one person from years ago - went out for a meal a couple of weekends again though that is probably a twice yearly keep in touch. My two best friends I both met through different yards and we haven't been at the same yard for ages.
 
I kept in touch with my old sharer when she moved away 2 years ago. We e-mail reguarly, phone and text but haven't managed to meet up since. Then on Sunday while I was on an off roading weekend with my OH (I come a close 2nd to his beloved landy) we were in the middle of Salisbury Plain. We hadn't seen anybody for 1 1/2 hours when we saw 3 horses and riders in the distance coming towards us. We met on a fairly narrow bit of path so the horses stood off the path while we went past. I was admiring the horses when I looked up and realised that one of the riders was my sharer on her new horse! She lives about an hour away but was on a training ride for an endurance competition. We both had such a lovely surprise and I still can't believe we met in the middle of nowhere, when neither of us knew the other would be there. What are the chances of that?
 
Flamehead - I like that - you take with you the people who are important and mean something, but everyone else stays behind! My friend would like that too - we are important. lol

Kezz, thats brill, I like it.. haha

Yes Coffee bean, spoke to the lovely H today at work. x
