This is to yard owners/managers really but would appreciate other views on it as well.
When someone hands in their notice at your yard and say they are going on the 16th March, what date do you have the new person move in?
Ie I had someone leave last month on the 26th in the morning, disenfected box etc in afternoon and new horse moved in 27th afternoon.
But recently I have had a person give their notice (for their 2 horses) that they were going on the 16th Feb, unfortunately one of them damaged their tendon sheath on the 10th so they said they were unable to move, fortunately the person moving in to their box isnt coming until the 1st March (and they have paid for it from then) so want to move their bedding etc (understandably) in so it is ready for when she bring her horse on the 8th march.
This means the original 2 who were supposed to go only now have one stable between them so I have said the one not on box rest can be on field keep until they move which is now the 16th march (are you still following)
I however had now had interest in the last box empty (which lame horse is still in) and they want a date that they can move their horse in so I feel like im constantly hassling the owner who is there at the moment when he is leaving and cant give the new livery a definate date.
What do you do in this situation? I feel I have been very lenient on them as if both their boxes had been taken from the day they left I would have had to make them leave, lame horse or not but just wondered what others would do
*Large box of choc if you got this far*
