Muck Heap Removal!

[TheresaW]

This may seem like a stupid question, or even a wind up, but has anyone on here, when they leave a yard, been told they have to take their share of the muck heap with them?

 

[mcnaughty]

Er, no and I would have to pee myself laughing if anyone even suggested it....

 

[TheresaW]

Well, me and my friend were, still have the email that states it! We were speechless to be honest. It said about mucking out stable and clearing field etc, which was all fair enough, and then it mentioned muck heap.

Im afraid if you leased the yard you are responsible for moving the muckheap or what you have contributed to it.
Lease papers should say so.
We certainly have to clear ours at regular intervals and finally before we move .

Is it a livery yard? I would have laughed in their face.

 

[TheresaW]

There was nothing in the paperwork about it. Been through it all to check.

If you rented the yard then I think it was your responsibility to have it removed, but not if you were liveries there. It cost me nearly £500 to have the muckheap taken off the yard I took over.

 

[TheresaW]

From going through all the paperwork, I rented a stable and grazing. Nothing was said about muck removal or anything else.

 

[Achinghips]

Did you rent it as part of a livery or on your own?

How many months of muckheap is there? On my Yard, muckheap removal is responsibility of YO, who just advertises it on freeserve - people come and help themselves and she keeps the thing tidy and manageable.

How are you supposed to measure out your part of the pooh - ridiculous?

There were four of us there, plus space for 2 more. I had only been there 2 months, but the longest person had been there longer. About 4 months I believe.
