Hi there,
I've just moved my horse to england and have just put him at a new yard. I called up, went to see the place, got the local info on it etc and by all accounts a very nice place. Horse arrived. All good... however, i expressly told them before i got there that he's a cribber, a collar wont stop him and if it's a problem i'll take him elsewhere. I also said I'd repair any damage. I was told it wasnt a problem. I went up yesterday to find my horse has prison bars up on his door and is not allowed out at certain times of day in case the other horses see him doing it "because they'll copy". There are no young horses on the yard and it's only one ill-informed woman who's moaned and now my poor horse is barricaded in his stable. He's miserable as he likes to see what's going on and he's only 4! Would this upset you? Am I being unfair to expect people to put up with a cribber on the yard?? he's in the corner of the yard at the end of a row so only has a stable on one side of him - and even that one is only used for riding school ponies so there's not normally anything in it.
What do you think? I'm a bit stressed as I know think I'm going to have to move him for the second time in a week.
