Many of yous may remember about my horrible yard, the YO being a right d**k etc. Well for ages i tried to get another yard or even a field. Went on to have my baby boy on the 9th March and that evening i sent everyone a text message to say about my new arrival. I accidentally sent one to the YO who replied 'Well i better still get my livery in time'

A few days after this i got talking to a few friends, each one could take on a couple of horses, meant splitting the horses up but i just wanted out. One friend took Mae on loan and offered to take Finn to break for me. Another took Mo whoses out in a nice field with her horses and looks sooo different. Mia and her foal jacada are with another friend whoses been riding Mia for me to sell. Gypsy was sold so leaves me with those 5.

When my hubby and his mate tried to move the horses the YO changed the locks etc while they were away with 2 horses in the box. He said i owed him money which was bull. Wanted £200 or we werent getting the horses. I called the police and local USPCA, told the USPCA that he wouldnt let me in to feed my horses or clean them out.

Police arrived and he had to let us take the horses, he then started texting me saying i had lifted a pitchfork which belonged to him. I certainly hadnt, then got more messages that he was getting a new pitchfork and i was to pay for it etc. So i told him he could take it off the bill when i replace everything that was stolen from me. Hasnt texted me since!!
 
Sounds awful! Well done for standing your ground though

It must have been hard work with 5 horses and a new baby. Mine is due in 5 weeks and I'm worried about coping with a pony and half a share horse!

Thank you everyone. I cried when the horses left, it was such a relief. He wasnt impressed when i arrived up with the police. He told them i owed him money but i had showed them receipts of me being paid up to date. They told him that he couldnt hold the horses even if i hadnt. The funny thing was that we forgot a few things and hubby went up with a couple of friends to get them. It wasnt to intimidate him, it was incase he started on hubby, he would then have witnesses.

Hubby said he came marching out of the house, looked like he was ready to start on him. He then seen his mates with him and stopped in his tracks haha.

We called our wee boy James, hes a wee sweetheart. Its not that hard juggling him and the horses, not literally lol. Hubby or his grandad looks after him and i go see them. My friends are taking such great care of them, ive offered them money and they refused, said to spend it on James. Mo has never been so heavy! Yous might remember that i struggled to put weight on him. Well my friend gives him a bit of hard feed everyday, aswell as him being in the field. She brings him in daily and lunges him, he looks like a different horse.

There is a huge change in all the horses, when we put them into the fields at the yards they went crazy, wouldnt come near us for a few days! Mae again looks like she swallowed 2 barrels lol.
 
Chickeninabun, i was lunging my lot right up until the day before i had him, i was 4 days overdue. Think the exercise made my birth easier, he arrived in under 4 hours.

YO was very nasty to hubby in the days after i had James. He was always complaining about something, sending endless text messages and generally ruining our first days with our son.

Im not a nasty person, ive been described as soft but i got so annoyed with him that i sent him a message "Kenny is spending time with his son, not everyone walks out on their child". He left his wife when she was due to give birth, didnt get to know his daughter until she was 4.
 
Oh my god, crazy yard, thats enought to put anyone from keeping horses I think.

Hope everything runs smoothly from now on and your little one is doing well.
