I have a horse on a livery yard and the yard manager keeps changing the herd dynamics constantly and now my horse has been kicked. The herd was stable all winter then they took the mares out to graze another paddock despite mine needing grass as well and left the two geldings in the winter field.
My gelding is the boss of the field and a bit of a ladies man, he does rule with an iron fist but the mares are usually fine and have been since last summer. So they took the other gelding out and shoved two mares in and now one of the mares is lame and my horse is lame and came as if he has done battle. Apparently he stared chasing and dominating the moment they put the mares in.
Now I understand horses are horses, mine has always been like this but when the herd was kept together from beginning of last summer until now there has been no issues, suddenly horses are coming and going right left and centre and apparently it was all kicking off in the other field where they put the other gelding. There is no choice give. With these moves and being honest they don't need to be made we it a bale of hay into the field for the boys and they were fine. This is a DiY yard but this person is trying to run it like a full livery and it's beginning to get a load of people's backs up, all the horses are being treated like they belong to the Ym and we are being dictated to. We had to fight to get a bale of hay put into a bare field that had been grazed all winter even though my horse isn't a good doer.
I'm tempted to move but the yard suits where I am, we used to get left alone by recently this is getting worse and worse, I pay for DIY livery not for someone to try and tell me how much grass or hay or what feeds I should glbe giving my horse.
