Afternoon...
Week from hell has continued, and now dread going up the yard tomorrow, to the point that last night and tonight Mum's going up for me. It's a long story and I won't bore you with it but am just back (didn't see anyone) and am almost in tears. Need to teach in 45 mins as well and can't afford to cancel lessons as much as I'd love to.
Hope everyone else is having a better Friday
 
Well adding to the fact that the person two stables down is the biggest arse ever, the YO has been on holiday for the last week and a bit, and things have been said to me that have upset me, as well as notes being left aimed at me and one other girl. Basically there are 4 stables inside the barn, I'm in the 3rd one in, and I tie my horse up outside my stable as there is nowhere else to tie her for a start other than where people wash legs off, which is also on a slope and I tied Mazzie there once and she fell, cutting her knees. I show Genie and can't afford to have bashed up knees, plus I want her tied where I can see her as every now and again she'll untie herself. Note was complaining about us doing so (it's not been a problem for 2 1/2 years) and YO has gotten back from holiday and banned us from tying outside our stables. It's the YO's decision and I'm glad to have something official, but the things that have been said etc have really upset me more than I'll let on to people, and I know tomorrow they're gonna be gloating. Have been looking at yards while YO is away and have found somewhere that's not perfect, but I'm now just desperate to get off the yard and enjoy my horse again.

The good points about the yard I'm thinking of moving to are that the only other person there is lovely and has two fillies, Genie's stable would be ENORMOUS (twice what she currently has), and it's neat and tidy and no yard politics!

The bad points are that there's no school (and I school a lot) but there's one about 10 - 15mins hack away that I can use for free, turnout can be limited (which Genie won't be impressed with but will have to deal), and no secure tackroom (but the owner has said I can put a partition wall at the back of the enormous stable to build one). Plus I'd be saving about £1,000 a year which is a big bonus.

Am so upset to be in this position... I have LOVED 2 of the 2 1/2 years where I am, it's only this summer with the arse two doors down that I've started to feel unhappy there, and this is the final nail in the coffin so to speak. Am just paranoid I'm overreacting.
 
Ummm a tricky one!

If you are not happy with were you are then you need to move as you are obviously not getting an enjoyment at the moment. Can you used the new yard as a temporary stop gap? See how you and Genie get on there whilst looking for one with a school and more turnout. Have you spoken to the YO about how you are feeling? She may be able to help!


I'm just off to my other job (got to pay for those boots somehow
wink.gif
) so will see you all later. Got 3 to muck out today, blurgg

The other yard is the best option as far as I can tell. Have looked around this week (ended up looking at yards Tuesday when I was off sick, and I think I was ill due to stress) and there's a very nice one but it's twice the travelling distance and significantly more expensive.... another one nearby with school but hacking straight onto a main road, then one with turnout and school, but only two allowed in the school at a time and it's booked solid. The yard I'm thinking of going to is on a quiet road and the hack is all on this road. Am thinking will see how it goes there... will get me riding more!
 
Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time fi. I would normally say give it time but it sounds like it's been happening for a while so probably not something that's going to let up over time unfortunately. Maybe you should try speaking to your YO, he/she may be able to help. If not, maybe you should seriously consider this new yard, even if, as HC2 says, temporarily while looking for somewhere with a school.
 
Give it a try then - better than being miserable where you are. At least you can still get to a school to use which is important and it may just give you enough of a break from the arse to enjoy being with your girl again.

Life is really to short for this sort of crap

When you leave give her a piece of advice - Next time she is in Sainsburys doing her shopping she wants to buy herself a life!

FiHunt - what an awful situation!! So, this has always been allowed, but since another livery came along, the rules have all changed to suit her??? Ummm!! I would be having a word with the YO, and then searching all the yards in the area

Pixxie - I hope you are getting better and that it doesn't hurt too much, especially when you laugh!!

I think P_P was hoping to look for a numnah, she's had to change from the sheepskin ones to something thin!! Anything I've seen, or we have, are still quite thick, you can't recommend anything can you?
grin.gif


Other than that, I don't really have much to get, some slosh wash, as I'm running out, and just a good look round. No doubt something will catch my eye!!
