    Need some advice - Loan horse.

    Thanks everyone, I've messaged the owner and he's going back :( Gutted, but it can't be helped :(

    Need some advice - Loan horse.

    He was meant to be sound and in work, we had no idea his shoes had been taken off until we got there to pick him up. We just hoped that in our loan period he'd come back sound and just footsore, but how lame he is still is worrying :( Thanks though guys!

    Need some advice - Loan horse.

    He's £700 inc. tack, but I'm not 100% sure he will be sound as his feet are a mess, and I have a feeling when he pulled the shoe he did more damage in his leg/shoulder. He was meant to be 'sound and fit', and I know no one can help this, but we got him so I could ride and jump :(

    Need some advice - Loan horse.

    I got my current horse on loan with view to buy about three weeks ago - and he's perfect, a 16.1 OTTB. He's exactly what I'm looking for, he's a lovely horse and everyone loves him, but the problem is he pulled a shoe just before we got him. When his owners got the farrier out to him, it turned...

    What would you do with this 'dangerous' horse?

    I ride English, he's ridden in a plain snaffle and I try to be as soft as I can with my hands due to his age. (: I'm not going to lie and big myself up as some experienced rider, I don't think I'm the right person to sort him out, and I'm not prepared to keep getting on him and risking anything.(:

    What would you do with this 'dangerous' horse?

    I'm not allowed to ride him at the moment, my parents are too worried he will hurt me and I'm not balanced, quick enough or gutsy enough to do so. I think it'll be stupid me getting back on and just asking for trouble! But thanks everyone! And hacking isn't an option anyway, we took him out a...

    What would you do with this 'dangerous' horse?

    But it's the case of finding that sympathetic, determined & experienced rider, not someone that will make it worse or neglect him or send him to slaughter. People aren't always what they seem, he could end up in the wrong hands so easily. Putting him to sleep will be the last option though, I...

    What would you do with this 'dangerous' horse?

    Ah thank you, I'll scrap that idea then. I thought it might be an alternative, but now you say that, it could be equally as dangerous. I'm pretty sure it's nothing pain related, I think he was left a stallion for too long and that behaviour hasn't left him, and as he's been allowed to get away...

    What would you do with this 'dangerous' horse?

    I got my horse Alfie about two months ago. He's a six year old suspected warmblood cross cob who came over from Ireland last year, and was told when I brought him he had a few problems mounting, but fine when ridden, so I took him on as a project. I fell in love straight away and rebroke him...
