Hey all,
Moved my lovely horse to a new yard around a month ago and he had settled in better than I could have imagined! The facilities are fantastic and so is the turn out! And in general I really really like it there!
I'm having a tiny issue however, it's is a very big yard (over 60 horses on the yard) so loads of people's around! Yet barely anyone comes across as friendly...
I try to smile and make small talk with people even if they are just passing by and I barely get a reaction.
I've already had someone start going into my storage area and taking scoops/feed etc without asking me (to which I've now lost a scoop! 😖) Another person moan at me for putting up a haynet where my horse was tied up (I checked with the YO and she said ignore them as haynets are allowed when being tied up) and finally someone being plain rude to me when I was hosing down my horse!
Luckily one of my old yard friends said he may be coming to the new yard I'm at, so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed! 😊
So my question is, how did you all settle into your new yards?
Did you have any teething issues and were easily sorted? Or have I got the brunt of bad luck!!
Thanks in advance guys!
