Ok, so the horses i 'share' got moved to another yard, which is slighty further away from me than they were before. The owners said i was still welcome to go and ride on my days off work. They moved them almost a month ago and whenever i ask if it's possible to meet them over there and go for a ride i never get a reply (apart from last week when i was told one lost a shoe, so was best to wait til it was back on, which it is now as the farrier went on thurs) when the horses were stables close to me, i was always asked if i would be able to go and feed them when the owners were unable to make it down, and i even walked to the yard when we had snow just to make sure the horses were alright and to break the ice on water.

Now it feels like they no longer want me to ride them and i kinda feel that i was just used when it suited them. I know someone else also rode them when they were at old yard but dont know if she still rides them. If they didn't want me to ride them anymore, i wouldnt mind but would rather they were just straight with me. I actually miss the horses so much

What would you think if this was you? Am i just jumping to conclusions?

The change in their attitude sounds a bit stange but I wouldn't take it personally, it might just be that they are settling in to a new routine and enjoying having the fresh start. Sorry you are missing them but it may be a good idea seeing if there is anyone else who needs help with horses as it might be that now they have moved yards they will rely on you less

Sounds like you have served a purpose to them and they no longer need you

,bit rude of them to not txt you when you have txt them and even ruder if they cannot even ring and speak to you to let you know they dont need you anymore

,have you tried ringing and talking to them???i would just to find out for sure!!
 
I would ask them outright with the pretext of if they don't want you to ride you are going to look for another horse to share so that you can ride throughout the summer but don't want to let them down if they still want you so that you want to check with them first.
 
I have tried ringing them, the only time i got an answer was last week, they were all "we will sort out something for next week" i tried ringing again yesterday and got their answerphone. They always said if i rang and got that, to leave a message because they always check it when they get in. Suprise suprise, no answer

it does sound like they appreciated you in the winter but when life is easier in the summer with lighter evenings etc they don't really need you to ride them.

in which case I would perhaps leave it for a week (well till you get to the month point and if they haven't contacted you start looking for others. There will be plenty of people happy for some help.
 
yeah i was going to leave it until they been there a month, before looking. I think im hoping that they will eventually get in contact because i'm worried im not going to find a horse as safe as the ones i was riding
