Hmm if they can treat a paying customer like that then what in gods name are they doing to the horses behind closed doors? Makes you wonder where the cuts came from eh...

Glad you got Star out of there!!

It was horrible and an experience I do not want to relive!! I just cannot justify speaking to someone like that, especially if I am paying them!
Star is pretty happy in her new home, its very quiet with only 2 other horses and she gets given attention all day as it is my friends house
One thing I did find out though is that they are giving riding lessons to people off the street as they have signs outside advertising them for cheap, and there isnt even a qualified instructor on the yard!!
Thanks for everyone being so supportive!!

Well shop them.. as they are probably lacking something called Insurance, a check from the council and suitable animals to use.... Someone could get seriously hurt and have no comeback.. But if you do it.. Leave it a good few weeks till they forget about you.. xxx

Well I was talking to my friend about this last night, if they are insured it must be invalid because there is noone qualified on a yard which is running full livery meaning the care of the horses are in their hands and running a riding school for the public with an instrutor who isnt even qualified and loaning horses out from them to stay on the yard.
I don't think and insurance company would touch them and if they did I think a few white lies were told!

My instructor has decided to try and get them done as she was horrified at how they treated her. I think the reason they did treat her like it is most likely because having someone on the yard who is qualified is more likely to catch them out if you ask me!
I will be spreadint the word to anyone I know about the place though and hopefully they will just run out of business!! xx

What an ordeal,pleased it had a happy ending!

Just caught up with this thread ... OMG!!! what a bunch of witches!! I must admit, i've been on a few yards run by the queens of the underworld and moved on pretty damn quick.

Glad its all worked out for you.

What a terrible experience for you and Star. I'm glad you got her out of there, and you might be able to claim against the livery for any damage to your tack, as leaving or not, they shouldn't throw your possessions into the yard.

There are good livery yards and bad livery yards, always do plenty of research first, if you ever have to move again. If you are a happy hacker don't go for a competitin yard, for instance.

I'm glad Star is now settled in the new yard, and you will be happier with your friend.

Cheers, Midori

Ditto thoughts above - get out and find somewhere where the yard owner isn't completely bonkers....
