After looking high and low for a yard to move my horse too, I found what I thought was the ideal place, lovely big school, 4 acres, 3 stables, storage for everything, plus land being extended to take on more grazing and expanding the school.
Only little snag was that 2 of the stables were being let out, but we only wanted one, plus a small area for pony to live out. Met with the owner about 6 times to discuss all this and even took others to look at yard in view of moving with us. Finally verbal agreement that we could move in and they would allow us 2 months to look for others to share with us. Great so put all plans in place and on that basis handed in my notice to current yard.
Have been ringing since monday to finalise the details and arrange to get keys - moving day looming 31st. Kept leaving messages etc.... Finally today managed to catch the owner at home, very vague about it all, seems had been avoiding my calls, turns out that they are having a rethink as they want 2 horses on the land, I nearly exploded down the phone said it was not fair to leave it this late in the day to change their minds bearing in mind they have know i have handed in my notice at current yard, told her i need a definite answer one way or another by the end of the day, was told "I will ring you back" and the phone was put down.
Now we had agreed terms, contract had been sent to me too, surly the meetings and negotiations before are a verbal agreement?
Sorry guys am so cross - need to leave current yard due to problems with the horses staying in and my boy getting colic because of it. Plus I was barricaded in stable by YO and verbally abused.
