I didn't really know what to put for the title, maybe it should read pedantic!
I moved here in May as many of you may remember, moving from one of the many yards from hell
I was provided with a good field, suitable grazing for the laminitic, plus I am allowed to divide the field up as I want, which is great. After a few days of them being in for some time of the day, the grazing was eaten down enough that they could go out 24/7 for the summer, as they usually do. They had fly rugs on, trees for shelter from the sun and sufficient grazing, strip grazing every day. Water had to be hosed up every day, which I did.
There were five other horses there, three liveries plus my two chaps. Two of the liveries were also out 24/7 in the next field. Anyway, they took their horses away on holiday and after they had left, they told YO they weren't returning. I was then given their field, which was a mess. I poo picked seven barrows out, mended the fences and set up the next lot of fencing. I was then told that they weren't allowed out 24/7 and had to come in during the day. She said it was written in the contract (it isn't) She said it was far too hot for them (they are always fine, even last year when it was even hotter where they were) so I thought I'd go along with it. She also said that they aren't allowed to have hay in the field, which I am fairly certain she agreed to prior to my move. She also complained that the previous liveries hadn't poo picked very often and said it was written in the contract (it isn't).
Last week she said she was keeping hers out at night till December and when I asked if it was ok to do the same and just change over to nights in when the old chap needs it, she said that was fine. Then two days later, she said they all have to be on night time routine by the end of next month. She put rug racks up outside our stables, but we aren't allowed to put mucky rugs on them, I am not allowed to buy round bale hay or straw because it will upset her storage solution, but we all have our own, she often forgets what we have told her, even if we write it down and text and message her. I went away last weekend and gave her strict instructions, emphasised loads, that they must have lots of hay and I said she probably would need help to hang their nets as they have so much, but I came back to two much thinner chaps. She keeps saying how wonderful she is and the place is, but apart from the hacking being great as it's close to the moor, it's pretty average. There is no school, she's threatening to reduce grazing to 2 hours a day in the winter, and she bitches about her OH quite a bit. We all get on with him fine, but whenever she wants anything done or changed, she says her OH is giving her grief. I can have square bales delivered, but even though she has a tractor, she says her OH won't allow it to be used to arrange the hay and straw. The others have big bales of haylage delivered, but when I tried it on mine, it didn't agree with them. The guy who delivers that arranges the bales for them. She bangs on about no other yard including turn out or bringing in in the cost, about providing holiday and sick livery, and doesn't understand that the others left because she was interfering. She seems to think she knows it all, diagnoses our horses if there's the slightest thing wrong, but her own horses are vastly overweight. She was very rude about my hair and has had lots of plastic surgery done. It's kind of reached the stage I try to make sure I don't have much to do with her now. She doesn't have children, has just turned 60. She's the same with all of us, which is a good thing, but just really weird. One day she wants to know what's going on with mine, the next she says just do as I like. I don't want to move again, horses are settled and happy and hacking is fab. Other liveries are great and we all get on well. So I guess this is just a general, does anyone else have similar issues?
