Following on from the several other yard threads, I wonder how bad you let things go before you asked a troublesome livery to leave.

I rented out a few stables and paddock to 2 lovely girls last year, they paid me on time and were very polite. However, a couple of times they didn't turn up to do their horses (some were stabled 24-7), they broke all the jump poles "loose schooling" (which also ripped the membrane in the menage regularly), they overgrazed the paddock to the point where the horses which were turned out destroyed the fencing by constantly leaning over to nibble grass on the verges and their hungry stabled horses kicked the door from daybreak until they arrived (or not as the case may be)

When they stopped coming down when the weather got bad and I couldn't contact them for nearly a month. Luckily I keep a good eye on my liveries horses so poor things didn't go without anything but took me 6 weeks to finally sort it all out and get rid.

Personality clash :( Miserable time for all concerned, horrid.

I have only ever had six liveries leave my place, one horse was sold, the rest found yards closer to home which makes sense to me (whether or not they did is irrelevant, it is the best reason ever, nobody can take offence at that)

Funnily enough, four of them came bouncing back again within six months, and all those owners bought two horses back instead of the one they left with:)

The fifth finally persuaded her farmer husband to let her have a couple of acres at home.

Basically all the reasons you've given OP! Plus the horses damaged the fencing by kicking repeatedly at it, as well as a pony with sweet itch which was turned out in a rug which was falling to pieces, and so it basically demolished another fence just by rubbing on it.

Also a livery who didn't come to do her pony and I had no idea where she was. Pony was shut in without food or hay, or water, for 24 hrs, and was basically trying to climb over the door. I had to do it plus feed it with my own fodder and risk life and limb as it had completely gone hyper.

Being assaulted kicked her straight off and to be honest I didnt even say a word just went down the yard and got a fork thrown at me and told me to ******* off and not talk to her ever again ???? , and another one for screaming at me for me asking her to put her electric fence on same woman blaming another livery for her horse breaking things when the accused liveries horse was in all day, so so glad she's gone.
