livery yard pettiness this one will amaze you

Move asap and involve the police for criminal damage or spend some money on a solicitors letter and request the cost of the lock and damages for getting soaked,new clothing for instance. this incident is beyond a joke.
 
What about Grendon Equestrian - they are near Tamworth and v good facilities.
Horsepower in Streethay near Lichfield?
There's a couple more near Lichfield that look good? Google?
 
they were taking money of livery every month and i was happy with that arrangement.its the pettiness and the unprofessionalism of the yard that gets to me.its the bit about smashing my barrow up that has upset me as id worked hard for that.these people aint got jobs they r single parents on benefits so have all day to mess about.i havent.
 
I'd be informing the police, it's probably a civil matter but might be covered as criminal damage.

I'd also be singing from the rooftop about the unprofessionalism of the yard, there's more than one way to skin a cat, take your horse off the yard and make sure you spread the word. Tidy horsey people have to stick together and hit the bullying YO's where it hurts :) A bad reputation is the worst thing in the horse world!

(Can you tell I've had similar treatment...? ;))
 
That takes pettiness to a whole new level.

What's wrong with wanting to secure your stuff?! At my yard everyone locks up their stuff. If someone needs to use it, they ask. Simples!

I can totally understand why you'd want to leave. Good luck finding somewhere new with better fellow- liveries!
 
I don't like people using my barrow because I keep it clean as I carry my horses soaked hay net in it, its so irritating to go and get it and someone has not only used it but left it dirty.

Get your flippin own stuff, another pet hate of mine, is I don't mind people borrowing stuff but put it back after as you found it
 
get the hell out of there before this appalling bullying behaviour escalates into something far more sinister and dangerous. report the FB message to the FB people and block her from your pages. KEEP A WRITTEN LOG OF ALL THE INCIDENCES that have occurred no matter how funny you initially thought they were. they were not funny. i dont know how old you are but if appropriate re your age make sure your parents are well aware of what is going on. i would also suggest you speak with the yard owner but make sure you take a parent or friend along with you to act as a witness to the conversation particularly if YO is related to any of the others involved in the incidences.
and take care of yourself and horsey. xx

Click to expand...

Another reason why they have done it - they are jealous of you. I hope you get your money back and i hope you can find a yard with more desirable people. x
 
I would move house, horse and all to my area and come to my yard.... *subtle hint to all out there!* ;)

I haven@t got a DIY yard but have similar feelings - i don't like my stuff to be shared around. You lose track too easily on what went where and then the vanish and it comes out of your own pocket again.
I would be looking at another yard though....somewhere that you and your belongings get respected!
 
You may prefer not to say but I have to ask the question, why do they owe you?

I think I would do the same as others on here have already said. I would send a letter outlining the incident, enclose an invoice, ask for a response and payment within seven days and tell them if you haven't had that, you will be contacting the police to report the criminal damage and the addition threat to damage your property again.

I would move too.
 
This must be the same yard that you posted about 2 months ago saying you wanted to leave, and the YM's daughter owed you £200 - how on earth has it now gone up to £300? Why would you lend someone more money who has already proved themselves to be unreliable and irresponsible?

Sorry but something about this whole saga doesn't ring true to me.

However if it is all true, I think I would write the money off and get out as soon as possible. You have lasted without the money for 2 months, it's not worth the hassle I would say.
 
can you afford to stand the loss of £300? if so I would search with gusto and move off - however, rightly or wrongly i would just leave and give them 24 hours notice. if they owe you money you wont have any bills to settle up - so you could actually leave without telling them - depends on how annoyed you are.

They would have had the sharp end of my tongue when they filled it with water! you are very patient. xx
 
I'd seriously think about leaving..... Or, you could put some of that paint that never dries on the handles (or some other nasty substance) and just leave it for them to use.
 
OMG, I'm sorry to hear that you've had such a bad experience.

Like everyone else has said, it's bullying, I would'nt have found the first two "jokes" funny. Kepp a log of everything that happens and ask the YO to have a chat with you so you can get your side over.

The one thing that has always upset me about the horsey world is when you get a few nasty idiots like that at a yard.

Chin up, i hope you are able to move soon, to a nice yard! :D
 
Oh this all sounds really awful, I would think you are quite young too, so perhaps time to involve parents to this situation.
They are not jokes at all, I would be livid if someone purposly touched and hid, damaged or whatever any of my belonging's horse things are not cheap as we all know!.
I am VERY anal about anyone using my wheelbarrow especially, don't know why just am, I would have no issues if anyone wanted to borrow it or anything else if they just asked and left it as it was found.

Suggest you google yards in your area, put note up in local tack shops etc, but without stating why etc in order to keep you and your pony/stuff safe until you are out of there.

Main thing is to get yourself and your horse out of there, as they sound like little brats with nothing else better to do and the fact you were 'threatened' via a social networking site and have evidence doesn't bode well for the daughter and I am sure her mother won't know about this either, so might be worth showing her it - once you are out of that yard and ask for the money back for your damaged lock... these things cost money!!

Best of luck with it all and really hope you manage to find somewhere nicer quick!
 
I don't think I've ever heard anything so ridiculous as someone filling a wheelbarrow with water and then putting it on a roof. And you found that funny?! I would have been absolutely livid, and I would have probably soaked them all with the hose!!
So you went out bought the barrow, and the touched that. Then you bought a lock and they touched that?! I'd be having a serious talk with the yard manager about her petty daughter.
 
haha I agree definetely needs to resit english gcse. Sort yourself out with a new yard. When you know you can safely move that day (as I wouldn't trust these people) show the mother the comment and demand money back for both lock and monies owed. If the mother is a social undesirable like her daughter I would threaten that you will get the police involved (providing you can prove they owe you money) and whilst showing her the comment point out (very sweetly ;) )that you are not sure whether to be more appalled by the comment or the atrocious grammar within it. These people sound pathetic, putting the barrow on the roof the first time, without the following info which puts it in the context of bullying, I would have found funny, after that absolutely not!
Good luck getting the horsey safely settled in a new home!
 
:eek:
You were patient putting up with the girl's pranks, let alone threats on FB and cutting through the padlock! :eek:
All the best in finding a new yard asap!
 
Jeez I'd get out of the playground as quick as you can and leave them to it. That is no way to behave, particularly threatening to smash up YOUR equipment if you choose to protect it from idiots like that.
 
i have had a very nice pm message from somebody who might be able to help me out.im all for having a laugh and bit of yard banter but this has gone to far.i see myself as a generous person who will always help somebody out-but ive not had so much as an apology or anything from the woman who did this except 'bring it on bitch lol'.
