Hi all i need some advice about my yard!
my monthly rent is £86.79 a month with addition of hay at £2 a bale (we have to buy yards hay)
yard-
problem is my yard is run down i have no school( small lumpy park that floods in winter we can use but its uneven so don't like using it) fencing's falling down and well park my horse is in has no grazing left.
Ive called and txt the man who runs it for this elderly woman and i also asked for 5 bales to be placed in my pallet (having to feed him hay to supplement some of the grass) Ive asked him to fix downed fence well hole side is loose and need fixed. Ive asked to move him to field that was topped (about 3 weeks ago) and baled for hay as it has more grass than mine and saves me feeding him hay! hes not replied nor has he fixed anything in about week. hes sap post to be up there every day checking fields and fencing i have to do a walk around every day to make sure every things OK, i don't mind doing it but I'm now going up today to fix fence as Ive noticed ragwort growing in field that fence joins to so worried he will jump over and eat it. i spoke to the woman that owns yard she has dementia and she said i could move him to the topped field so i did worried now when i go up he will be back in is park with no grazing.
When i first moved on there was a panel missing in my stable which Ben got his foot stuck in and cut his foot i waited 2 weeks (of moaning) for it to be fixed! and i know if i don't do fencing my self today it wont get done, Also i asked for hay a week ago and he said to another DIY livery that he has none left but its lands own hay that owner said we can HAVE not pay for he charges £2 bale not bad and don't mind paying it and they just cut about 40 acres of hay! so i think hes selling hay on side but there is bales in the hay shed but were not allowed to touch them as there is none left???!!!!!!
should i do work he gets payed for? its a nice friendly safe yard horses cannot be seen for road no horsey signs unless you drive up the private road owner and carer on site 24/7 and they allow children on it (i have 2 kids and nephew)
If i am doing his work should i ask to pay less rent?? should i just buy in my own hay?? i really don't know what to do and no other yards in my area have spaces and ones who do are asking for £400+ month!
