Mine came over in a car (securely) with two other dogs that had been living with her in the foster home. We met them at their Uk foster base.

My experience has been the opposite of the above examples so from that I could say that all are good as that's all I've seen of overseas rescues 🤷‍♀️ I don't disagree that there are bad rescues, there's bad rescues and breeders here too but I don't think I and others should be vilified for...

Mine was tested before she came and we had her re-tested when she got here and 3 months later as I had read about it on here so I checked. I don't tend to tell people she's a rescue from abroad unless I am specifically asked where she came from. She suited what we were looking for and she has...

My body protector also lives in my box and it's fine. I have chicken wire behind the seats that holds my rosettes (also not mouldy, some have been there years!)

Seen on a local group - "my daughter has been riding for 5 weeks and can do sitting and rise and trot, just wondering if anyone had a horse they wanted exercising" Needless to say, the comments weren't particularly favourable (also that it is 'rising' trot not 'ride and'!)

We taught Clover to ring a bell if she wants to go outside as she used to just stand by the door in silence until someone noticed her but now sometimes she will ring the bell as a distraction so she can try and sneak back in and steal food :D Pepper also likes to sit in the window!

Ooo I might try and see the English Setters this year, I don't know if Clover would behave enough to show!

When I was at university (Equine) there was a school horse who dropped dead during a jumping lesson. It was awful for the poor rider but it was instant for the horse so I like to think she didn't suffer. She was a lovely mare and I liked riding her. I think it was an aneurysm as others have said.

I think so! He was very well schooled and a heavy cob type so potentially got up to some antics when younger :D

At the riding school/livery yard I used to be on there was a lovely pony called Roo, he was so good with the beginners and did some RDA lessons too. They never told anyone that his actual name was Buckaroo!

There's two in our village, they're beautiful dogs. I can't say I know anything about them but these can be a bit barky!

I have a rescue dog, originally from Georgia but was fostered in Holland by the breed rescue. I've posted about her on here before. She was tested clear of BC and had another test when we got her as our vets also wanted to double check, plus she was recently tested clear for Leish. She has a...

Saw a post on the local facebook group - £80 for a round bale!

My current connie was a lovely steel grey, then dapple with dark points and he's now fleabitten! He's the best but I can't deal with a grey again 😅

I'll come with 😅 I really want a dun connie for my next pony, but so does everyone else 😁
