I moved to a new yard in December and up until now everything has been fine.
I currently have my ponies on a track system which has been up all summer. It is set as I have always done it and its the same as others on the yard who also have a track system.
On Saturday I had a very strongly worded text from yo basically saying she didn't like it, my horses were in danger and I needed to correct it immediately as she would show me how to put up an electric fence. Nobody else at the yard has to change theirs and it's exactly the same. The tape it checked and tightened daily and there us no loose bits for them to catch themselves on.
I wasn't very happy with the way I was spoken to and we sat down and had a chat but yo wouldn't budge so she want to redo the fencing which we are doing Wednesday. She said fencing as it is can remain until then ( obviously not that dangerous).
My concern is the way she wants it done, and in part the fact no one else has to do it. At the corners so wants to put an additional post about a foot away and put it like a tent peg with baling twine tied to the top of post with the fencing on a the bottom of the other creating a line on the ground.
To me this doesn't feel very safe. I see people trip over tent lines all the time when distracted and worried the ponies might catch themselves. Am I being a bit sensitive because I'm the only one being made to do this and this a good way or is the yo being unreasonable?
Since moving I've heard lots of bad things about the yard and no local will go there and yo has a reputation for being unreasonable which up to now I didn't find.
