Well my friend and her partner are considering buying a farm, it has 6 acres, it either has a menage or they are building one, fabulous hacking etc, They have got pp for stables. Friend was telling me they might buy it, ideal for having 3 horses, and she said she didnt want to go as she would be bored on her own, but partner said they will build stable for my horse if i wanted to go up.

But she thought he was joking, but asked him and he said no i will get one build for her horse if she wants to come, what would you lot do. Its easy access from my house i wont miss anyone on our yard they very 2 faced and its annoying not having things when you need them, for example was waiting untill 7 o clock tonight for haylage.

We never seem to have any shavings either. But would you go, im thinking i want to as i will miss friend loads, she the only one who is honest with me and doesnt back stab me.
 
Wait until they are moved in and settled before handing in your notice at your current yard.

Best made plans and all that....

Something may come up and they may not be able to build these stable/s or accomodate you so wait til they're in just to be on the safe side.

Sounds like a good idea though, hope it works out.
 
sounds great, just make sure if you do go you have some sort of written agreement about what if included etc, saves fallouts later on, beleive me, i had a friend keep her horse at mine last summer, and it would of been so much easyier if we had written everything down before hand, we are still good friends, and it is all fine, and shes coming back next summer, but will definatly have a written agreement first, as saves any confusion
 
Go, Go, GO!!!!!

But i would say get some kind of contract, as even though it is your friend, they might want to get you do work around the yard, i think its better if things are clear from the start.

Lucky you!!
 
I understand what you are saying, but they have the pp for the stables already, its her partners dads house so its all ready etc, and they arent the kind of people to turn around and say oh we cant do it, They said we can turn horses out in the 6 acres while stables are being done, Not going to say anything about yard to yo as nothing is confirmed yet, they need to go through a lot of things, But its an idea.

Yeah we will write down things included, it would be better really doing that, and when they go on their hols i can look after their ponies and dog and cat lol and house, We already sorted this out lol. Plan ahead we do.
 
Defo have a written agreement. I had a friend from my old livery yard move in when I bought a house with stables and land. We had been great friends when we were at the livery yard. She stayed with us for a year and a half rent free, she was supposed to help with our horses in return. However it didnt work out that way and my daughter and I did the lions share. Eventualy my friend said she couldnt cope with the work and put her horse in a working livery - the cheek! I was relieved when they went. It would have been really difficult to confront her, as I had let it go on too long without saying anything.
