First post so im so sorry if its in the wrong place
At the beginning of the year i moved my horses to a newly opened stables.It was more expensive than where i was originally but we were promised better facilities.Anyway i moved my horses on and was quite happy, yard owner had never ran a yard before so i put some things down to a learning curve.However we are now 9months on and the school is still not able to be used we have to buy everything of her and cant even have friends turn horses out as it has to be her ( she then complains that she has so many horses to turn out/muck out/ bring in).the fields arnt big enough for the amount of horses and although it looks like there is lots of grass the horses arnt eating it and i assume its sour the fences are also all barb wire and stock fencing and i feel we arnt far off having a horse come in with a serious injury.yard owner seems more bothered about telling people she has a livery yard and ensuring it looks good than sorting the actual problems out.I pulled her up the other day about when the fencing was being done when the school would be fixed as well as the other jobs that we were promised would be done... she said they dont have the money to fix it right now.. thats fine i appreciate yards cost alot and tbh i stuck up for her to other livery's who complained... then yesterday she rocked up in a £7,000 horsebox (she told everyone how much she paid) i feel so angry! she said it was important as her daughter really wants to go to some shows. I assume my upset was seen by other livery's as i was blanked this morning and given dirty looks by her followers. i feel very isolated anyway as my friend i moved on with moved off a few weeks ago as she was struggling to keep her eventer there in full work due to lack of facilities even though we were promised more.the yard owner also will also not take criticism i recently found clumps of dead ragwort in the hay i told her about this and her response was well what do you want me to do about it go through every hay bale. but then other days she cant be anymore helpful.
iv had a quick look around some yard and have found one that is a 20min journey away from work its cheaper and i will save about £120 a month it has a farm ride,indoor,outdoor and you pay a set amount a week for unlimited haylage
i dont know what to do the new yard is cheaper but a 20min drive away.also it means a quick trip on the motorway which can get very busy.
or do i stay where i am and hope that we get what we are promised meaning the £500 im paying a month will be justified.
current yard is about £5-10 min drive
