Ongoing - Win seriously dumped all including an "experienced" backer (including us) before going to dressage yard. They did get on him eventually. Ridden by daughters there. Came home, broke ones ribs and injured another "professional" who said he got on anything!. Off to a kind lady with...

Our boy also had a long break April round to March. Ulcer treatment, spinal x rays etc

Eighteen months!!!!!! Has now cost more than original purchase price at two. Whitheford Equine was not cheap but worked.

Here's hoping for you. Ardell terrified our boy once he trotted (galloped till exhausted.) this was the third time he has been away and his last chance. Missed the fatal injection by only two days. He was at Witheford for three weeks with daughter staying there a couple of times with him...

Everything crossed for good behaviour when he returns Saturday.

Win has been at Witheford Equine for three weeks. Ridden since day TWO after a strong protest! They know their stuff. Will be worth the effort and expense if is a good boy at home, Looked like a normal horse when we saw him last week. Fingers crossed that he may fulfil his destiny as a dressage...

Win will be returning from Whitheford Equine on Saturday, after a stay of three weeks. Has been ridden from day TWO (not without a protest) looks like and ordinary horse now, hope it continues here at home.

Did start slowly stable first. Outside stable and then stationary in lunge pen for a time, then a few steps, but moment person stablising ardel moved away - off in a panic which only stopped as he tired.

He reverted to previous behaviour ,ie - suddenly plunging forward & sideways as you tried to mount. either from block or leg up. which is why he went to a professional . He did get ridden briefly at home but still on a rein. I think he does not feel secure in the manege at home.(We are in a...

Terrified of an Ardell. (anyone want to buy a just used one). Back home and looking at options that do not need a second mortgage. Lots of suggestions sadly one size does not fit all. He might get turned away with some pensioners somewhere as a last resort before PTS.

Yes he did sustain injury. Trapped by fetlock ( foot went through bars but had to be cut out) Leg like tree trunk. Minimal skin damage. Weeks of hosing, etc and walking in hand, left with thickend tissue when swelling subsided.Had months of massage with anti- inflammatory cream with great...

Stay of execution. Win now back home from another failed attempt to back. Still open to suggestions.

Stay of execution for Win - still seeking solutions. Back home now.

Wish you luck we have same problem. Have an Ardell ok in stable terrified when it 'moved' on his back in lunge arena,

Thank you all for your comments. Sadly being put down on Tuesday. Michael Peace just too expensive. Has already had thousands spent on vets, treatment and backing. This elderly owners funds have run out. Dreams have turned into a nightmare. Feeling awful.
