Returning Prickly Livery Issues and a little rant...

[AmyMay]

I know some of you think I'm being the controlling one here, but honestly and truely, I am really trying to accommodate this person's requirements, but also the requirements of my horse (if that makes sense).

I think the main problem here is that you have a poorly run yard - which has resulted in liveries really doing what they like. Which in turn has resulted in you feeling as you do.

Really, though - it's of no consequence to you when or if her horse goes out. She just needs to know what field to turn out in. And the only accomodation that needs to be made by you is understanding that.

As others have said - talk to the YM if you have a problem. Other than that, just enjoy your horse as you've done previously - and let others get on with what they do without worrying about it.

Hi again. I feeel your last post helped the problem to be clearer. It seems that she may not have understood the prior arrangement with your friends. Or if she knew about it , maybe she thought that arrangement would be cancelled now that she is sharing the field, with you assuming it would carry on. I think if it were me, I would have assumed it would be just me and you sharing, as I wouldn't find it too comfortable having so many using the same field but at different times.

As you have agreed, communication is the key, and I hope you manage to get this sorted amicably.

Flicker, has this woman actually been allocated into your field by your YM or is it just that she has said she wants to use it? Did your YM tell you that the new livery would be sharing your field with you. If not I would just tell the woman that you don't want to share with her as it causes problems for your management of your grazing. If your YM has allocated the grazing to her then I suggest you speak to YM to find a way forward that suits you both.
