Thanks,yeh went really well.She seems really settled,gets on with the horse in the stable next to her so all good.i feel much more comfortable knowing she's there.x

Sorry for late reply but had to have a bit of a say as moving yards really is awful! lol I have had so many issues with my mare that we have moved loads!! First yard wasnt being ran how I was happy it being ran and had a few issues, they also interferred ALOT, Secon yard was too busy and turned my horse into a nut, 3rd yard my horse cut herself to shreds and the yard owners couldnt care less or have a clue how she done it (by far worst experience of a yard as they were total asses, they went mad because I stood up to themn and when I went to collect my horse all of my stuff including saddle etc was thrown in the car park lol) 4th yard was a friends yard, loved it there until I found out my "friend" was sleeping with my boyfriend (odd yard situauion I know lol) and the yard I am at now I LOVE! Couldnt be happier and my horse is thriving!
Just goes to show if your not lucky getting the best place to start with you will find it if you keep searching!
But I always find that the best way to leave a yard is to do it as discretely as possible. Dont makje a fuss and u dont tend to get a fuss back then!!
Glad it all went went

I hope you are both settled and happy now. I know exactly how you feel. Can be really frustrating.
Good luck.

Melx that sounds like a nightmare.Glad you finally got settled somewhere.Gypsy has settled in so quickly im so much much happier than i was at the other place,hopefully this will be it now.The day i told her i was leaving she made a bitchy comment but i just ignored it because i had to leave Gypsy there for the night.Didnt sleep much but went up early the next morningas had cleaned out and was gone before she got up.Everyone at the new place have said how good she looks,after HER telling me she'd lost weight since i got herThanks handprint and everyone else for the replies,surprising how many people have had the same problems.

Aaaw she is gorgeous

And looks settled.

I moved my (then) 3 horses off their yard about 9 years ago and within 2 weeks I was back grovelling to the guy whose yard I had just left - and eventually all 3 went back to the original place - and I am still there

The place that I moved them to, though cheaper and allowed to be out 24/7 during the summer (the place they were/are now at they have to come in every night due to limited grazing) turned out to be a nightmare. The owner had no clue about horses - told me to put my yearling out with other horses (separated by an electric fence) and then wondered why I screamed when the other horses broke through a barbed wire fence and chased her and she ended up out of the electric fenced compound with her front leg caught in the barbed wire, being kicked by the others. When he saw her - all he said was 'ooooh thats a bit of blood' and then got in his car and drove off

The first person I thought to call to help me get her out of the wire was...... yes you guessed - the yard owner from the place I had just left he came without hesitation and transported the youngster back to his yard where she still is all these years later.

I now work on the philosophy that as long as my horses are happy - I'll be happy even if it costs more - at least this guy knows horses and helps

Thats terrible,i hate barbed wire.must of been horrible seeing that!.Yeh her being happy and settled is the main thing.

Aww she looks absolutely fine!! lol some people just tlak out of thei back side to look better to others!
Its awful because you tend to find that the places which are cheapest but with the best facilities are the worst places to go and unfortunately a lot us have the same idea of trying them out and accidently burning our bridges at a good yard!!
I love my yard now and will never leave because I have no issues at all and that is hard to come by! My mare has theived there too!
Everyone does their own thing but if you need help there is no end to people offering their advice, makes you a lot more comfortable when you need to ask too!!
