I wasn't going to reply any more as I have decided what to do next from some of the helpful replies on here. But I have a question. How do you educate someone who already sees themselves as an expert? She enjoys giving others advice even if they didn't ask for it. Once she advised someone...

with laminitis? Then he'd be shot anyway. Yes of course I thought about what happens when he gets old. All of these loans were supposed be permanent although nothing seems to be permanent I find. After the 2nd return I tried to sell him. His first loan had been highly successful except that it...

so where did the 5 months come from? No it is a recent problem and I came on here for constructive advice as to what I should do. Some people have done that and I am grateful while others are getting a kick at my expense by twisting what I have said or not really reading it properly and...

he'd not shown the lameness in the fore ever before this loan. Despite his disaster loans, after he'd come right each time he was a very sound horse. Yes I do feel intimidated by it all. Also I feel bad for the horse and try not to upset the girl (she's late 30's) as she has said on many...

no he wasn't lame when she took him on as I wrote earlier, I had spent a year getting him right. The main problem I have is that I warned about weight way before he had any problems and it was ignored, then it was mentioned again and ignored even though she agreed the way forward with me...

no I think the horse has turned out to be more genuine and forgiving than I thought, rather then her riding being great. It helps that she is very tall and can get her leg round him. He was bred for top level competition, it is a whole different level and type of horse to what anyone buying a...

He wasn't lame when the loan started. He was lame when he came back from loan before but i had given him vet, time to recover, physio, long reining, lungeing, leading him out and he was sound. I told her it was a gamble if he sayed sound as I was never told what had happened to him by the ****...

He was looking great until April and she seemed happy, he seemed happy. I was hoping she'd got to grips with riding him as her strength and balance built up with more riding. It was only me that was unhappy. I go up late after work and don't really see anyone and only moved there this winter...

I have tried to sell him before. I couldn't find anyone who wanted an older horse who could ride something like him. He went lame last summer for a month when the ground was hard. so this year we decided to give him some time off (like last year) and see how it went. She doesn't want to stump...

Sorry this is a long one, a sorry tale of woe... I have a quality warmblood who is out on loan. It is a loan at the yard I am on due to two previous loans going disasterously wrong and the horse being returned in a state and/or injured each time, despite these being BHSII and above and checking...
