As most of the country experienced bad weather over the weekend and last few days, I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem to me. Where myself and my sister keep our horses is really a small holding rather than a yard. The old man who we call the yard owner is in his seventies and a real pain in the backside. He thinks the facilities are great, well, we get electric in the stables when they turn the power on, and water in the taps! We have stables, all year turn out and that's it. (I am greatful for the turn out).
Over the weekend one of the field shelters was blown over into the field my horse is in from my sister's field taking the fence with it. We couldn't put the horses out for that reason on Sun or Mon. Come yesterday evening he has repaired the fence, but the shetler which is smashed up, is piled up in my field and I think he expects me to clear it away. Needless to say I can't put my horse back in this field. We pay for use of fields but not a particular one. I know he won't put the shelter back up but I don't think I should be clearing all this and putting up a new shelter. I pay £20 per week for this and I normally use this field in the winter as the other fields are resting. I will have to put her in one with no grass, which will cost me more in the long run with extra hay. We have no contracts but I am not happy having to build a new shelter and clearing up the mess in the dark after work with a torch. And now he is muttering about the price going up as well. I could try and move the smashed up wood to another field, but that will really annoy him. Any thoughts?
