maybe a new barn?

[the coolest loser]

sorry if this is in the wrong section, but ok, so i've been at the barn i am at now for about 3 years, and i absolutley hate it. it was ok at first, but now i just want out.
the barn i used to take lessons at like 4 years ago has open stalls, and i want to go up and and find out about boarding there....there is only one problem, she wants &605 a month, and that TOATLLY out of our price range. so my parents agreed to pay what they are paying now for board ($250) and if i can talk the owner of the new barn into letting me work there to pay off the rest of board, i can go.
so what do oyu think would be best, emailing her and explaining the situation, calling(even though i wont get her directly) and having her call me back later, or just going straight up there and talk face to face?
I'm reallllllllllllllly nervous, basically about everything, i've never boarded at a different barn, i'm goign from a like backyard type barn to a hunter/jumper/eventing barn, what if the owner/trainer doesnt like my horse(who is mainly western, but i'd LOVEEEE to get into jumping or even cross country<3) or what if my old BO is going to be an ass about it, and make leaving tough. also i'm going to have to have another coggins pulled, and i want to have my horses teeth checked out, my curretn barn owner looked at them and said they were fine, and our vet doesnt do teeth, but i dont trust my BO as far as i can throw him.
sorry if this is all over the place, i'm majorly stressing, just what else do you think i should say to her, or tell her?

I'm sorry that this is happening to you. What I think you might want to do, but, you don't HAVE to do it, is: Tell, here the truth, face to face, Tell her, you don't have the money to pay your board, but you are willing to pay $250 a month, or what you said. And say that was what I was paying at my other barn. Say I am willing to work out the rest of the money with you. I could help out around the barn to pay the rest or do something like that.
Good luck in working this out! :o

thats basically what i was going to tell her, and then basically beg her to let me work it off, because i reallllly hate my barn lol

I would work out a plan with her, like the working idea. I worked for my lessons when I was little. It's not that bad. Or, another thing you can do is get another girl your age at the barn to sponser your horse, and you both could split the fee.

i work at my current barn now. i basically take care of all 20 horses there, and the owneer still treats me like crap, and thats why i want out.
i actually enjoy working, and i am a hard, fast worker, but i'm afraid she wont relize that.

[dubbyroxsoxs95]

Well......if she treats you like crap, I would switch. You could say " Lets have a trial." THats all my advice.

HEY!! i agree with dubby and belle ! that is all you can do and if she treats you that way then just say! "you know what im a hard worker and if you what to treat me this way then....." and so on! but you do not have to say that!!
