I know it's an individual thing but as per title!
I moved yards on the 1st of this month due to moving house, so old yard is no longer an option. My lovely, quiet, chilled Arab has turned into a crazed lunatic on this new yard. He has settled into the herd beautifully but when he comes into his stable he is so stressed, it's awful to see. He has always come in on a night so I've been keeping him in that routine but no other horses in my 'block' stay in (although I don't see it making much difference when one does stay in the odd night)
In his old yard he was in a block of 3 and often in on his own and he was so settled! But there was zero through traffic whereas in this stable he is on the front where there is a paddock, the car park and everyone goes passed his stable to go to the various fields, so a LOT of stimulation.
How long do i give it for him to settle before looking for a new yard? I worry I change yards and it makes him worse due to another move so soon
