Let me start by showing you the current situation at the yard...
We moved to a livery yard close to us, the yard was on a mans land, lets call him G.
G rented the yard to a woman named S.
S told us it was £60/month livery without a stable, everything was going well, a few problems with S but we put them aside and ignored them.
G also had many problems with S, but S told us that G was just moody and not listening.
Recently G has been checking the fields, he has noticed that S is not watering her 11 horses she keeps on the yard, he keeps checking for days to see whether they get filled, but they don't. S also has a horse that is about 17hh and jumps from fence to fence into other fields, which would be ok if he did not take the fences down with him.
G has said to S many months ago that if they did not move this horse else where, then S and all her horses would be off.
6 months later the horse is still there, and G has had enough and considers kicking them off after christmas.
During the time we have been there we had bought a lorry and kept it in G's area where he allows big vehicles to be parked for a small fee each month, we contact S about keeping the lorry there and she said to put this money in with the livery and they will pass it onto G.
Now the livery money was due yesterday and as my step-dad has pneumonia (sp?) the business we own has gone downhill rapidly and we simply could not afford to pay the livery yesterday, so we contacted S and said we can pay it this friday for definate as money comes in then, and S said she would contact G to see what he thinks.
Hours later my mum was called by G he was ranting down the phone that we had one months notice we were to pay the livery this friday and then leave, shouting at us. My mum simply couldn't handle him ranting down the phone so went to see him.
As she got there she saw S crying as G was shouting at her too, my mum took him away and spoke to him away from everyone else, he soon calmed down and said just pay the livery on friday and we will forget everything, my mum said thankyou we will give you the lorry money too, and he says i havnt noticed your lorry, and my mum says yes we have had one there for ages, S was meant to be paying you the money, turns out S has not been paying out the money for our lorry even though we give it to her to pay to G!
Also turns out even though she has 11 horses on the property she only pays livery for 2 and the livery we give her also pays for her other 9!
G flips and says thats it S is off by the 1st march, and after that he will not rent it out, he himself will collect livery and manage the yard, and he will choose who will stay and go out of the rest of us liveries.
Everyone goes home and my mum gets a call of S and S rants on about how unreasonable he is and how they are leaving ASAP.
But then my mum also gets a call of a fellow livery (who we are a lot closer with than S) who has been recently talking to G about S running the yard, and we get a totally different story about how G is actually a very nice man, he has just lost his rag with S, and how that once she has gone the yard will be run smoothly.
I really dont want to leave as it is such a nice yard, but im not sure whether G is a nice man, do you think he is being reasonable about S and that once she has gone the yard will be a lot better, or that G is being unreasonable and we should leave ASAP?
ETS: Sorry its so long and confusing, I hope you can make sense of it!
