I moved to a new yard a couple of weeks ago and it's been great. Small, brand new , indoor school, nice people etc. Yard owner us nice , very obliging but can be a but naive. When we visited we were told horses would go out in 2 fields of 4/5 horses for daily turnout until summer fields were available. Well after waiting 2 weeks for turnout to be ready , I was looking forward to getting my guys out and suddenly 3 new grass liveries turned up . ( there weren't meant to be any ) and there is only one field. So they wanted me to just turn my 2 out in a field with 10 horses they haven't met . I refused to turn mine out because they haven't been out for 2 weeks and I didn't want them hooleying around a new field with 10 unknown horses. I know that horses will have their issues and have to sort out pecking order but surely introductions can be done gradually. Now my issue is firstly the grass liveries are going to trash the field being out 24/7and ours are only getting out for a couple of hours and secondly I am just being too precious about my horses and lastly I really like this yard and don't want to move but I feel the turnout was what I moved for and now it's not happening. I was so looking forward to them being out during the day now they are stuck in again . Sorry for long post xx
