When I retrieved my mare from loan in a heck of a state, the loanees defended themselves saying they'd been feeding her eggs to improve her condition and so it wasn't their fault she looked so bad. TBH my thoughts (well the publishable ones anyway) were try rugging her up and feeding her proper...

I moved my house insurance to them after they were brilliant settling vets bills - cheerful efficient and no quibbling.
