Absolutely agree _GG_. I think we will follow your advice and see what happens over the next couple of weeks or so. Me thinks I need a Brandy !!!!

I have spoken to the father of the previous owner and found out that the horse was her own for the last 2 years and it was not stabled at the race yard. My daughter rode the horse to try it out before agreeing to have it. She was very calm and seemed perfect! We don't know what has happened at...

Just spoken to previous owner and she is not willing to do anything!! This was my daughters complete savings and has now been wiped out!! Don't feel I can trust anyone now!! Cannot believe it!! She will have the horse back but is not willing to give anything for it!!

Hi _GG_, tried PM you but I think something is going wrong as it doesn't register the message has been sent!! Brill!! Try on the open forum then! Just tried to find our YO on the BHS web site as she claims to be a BHSAI but couldn't find any instructor in our area at all!!! Any ideas?? I know...

Just a thought, would it be worth getting the horse vetted now or not?

Thanks guys xx

Thank you so much _GG_ I have checked her BHS membership and she hasn't got gold so I will sort that out tomorrow. We will ring the previous owner tomorrow also and get a definite reply as to whether she is willing to help or not. If she is not willing to help then I am afraid we will have to go...

Thanks for that. I will check what membership she has. All she wants to do is become an instructor or do anything with horses!!

We live in North Wales. The stables and fields that she is at are absolutely ideal. The YO is very experienced and is helping as much as possible. If the horse is like this then it will be impossible to sell her on!!

Thanks for the link to BHS but my daughter is already a member

Thank you so much for the prompt replies. The horse was put out in the field straight away with several other horses. When she is put in the field she immediately jumps the fence into another field with hunter horses!! Once over she is happy!!! She is only being fed the grass she is on. The YO...
