Livery Yard Closing Fields and other issues

I haven't read all the replies but don't waste your time taking the YO to court. It's too expensive & the only people that make any money out of the case will be the solicitors. Never sue on a point of principal it just costs you money for no real gain. Just leave & find a better yard.
 
You have every right to be angry, I left my last yard for that reason. I fully understand that the weather has been horrendous but my cob can't do a lot of ridden work so being kept in 24/7 was a big no no! He is now out 24/7.
 
I'd make sur eyou have somewhere else to go and not pay any further money and ask yo for a refund as you moved for the use of a field during the day and they are not matching up tot hat. You moved mid wet winter so they can claim they didn't know the fields would be wet.

There is a difference between wet and unusable land.

We moved our two horses to a yard eight weeks ago on the assurance that a) there would be daily turnout, whatever the weather, b) the tack room would be finished very soon and we'd have somewhere secure and dry for all our stuff and c) the arena would be finished to use this winter.
The other liveries don't work or at least not very much as they manage to find time to exercise their horses daily. They also have the use of an old container for there stuff, but we were told there was no more room in there, but the main tack room would be finished very soon.
Within two weeks of arrival, she closed the fields, the school hasn't had any work done on it for weeks and our stuff is still in a damp corner of an old stable:( on top of that, the lighting is so poor we can't muck out in the evening, even with a head torch it's difficult. We have to buy hay and straw from them, and they are making a fortune from us as we are paying for a field that we can't use as well as twice the hay and straw.
Last week she said we could turn out in a farm field which was much too lush for ours, so I asked her to turn ours out very late. The first day I asked she said she wouldn't be around and the next day when I asked, she obvs turned them out early cos the stables were so clean and my horse had spasmodic colic as a result so I have a huge bill. YO knew ours couldn't graze for long in that grass as I had been strip grazing our field for the two weeks we were allowed out.
Needless to say, we are leaving very shortly, but I'm furious with her and I believe I have a case to sue her. What does anyone else think?

One of my pet peeves is when a so called livery yard does not have a *livery includes* part to the contract so it is all there in black and white for livery to sign and makes everything above board.

Such a small thing to do and saves all this aggro later on.
