Most of those sadly were NOT a clean death, being shot from a distance, most within sight of other horses. Some very lame who had travelled from Ireland to England.
Shooting them within sight of each other is so wrong, and as for travelling long distances when they are hopping lame is disgusting, the numbers being bred needs to be reduced, never been a racing fan, although my brother in law had two, does not even know where they ended up.
On our way to the yard this evening, there was a rider on a bay horse, all decked out in pink bright wear. We passed wide and slow, but a stupid idiot in a black car shot past, way too fast, overtaking us as we went passed the rider, really no need for that.
The leak first appeared within two weeks of getting the car on January 6th, and he had it back to fix it the first time end of Jan. the second and third time in Feb, which was when he said he would swap it for a different car. We are still waiting.
My friend had a sec a in her garden, but she was on the very edge of her village with no neighbours next to her.
The council might object to having ponies in your garden, and your neighbours might complain about the smell/flies.
It was not a Toyota dealer, they were notified in early Jan about the leaks, had it back 3 times, then in Feb said he would swap it for a different one,but so far has not.
He has had plenty of time to find another. Twice he has said will sort it, but we are still waiting
bought car from a dealer in Jan, went back 3 times, could not fix it. Still have not sorted a replacement, the car is now starting to smell of mould. What would you do?
Our horses live out, but years ago when they were in at night in the winter, we were paying extra to YM to give them a feed, change their rugs, and turn them out, we were forever finding them still in the stables, when we arrived after work, breakfast still where we left it, usually with some...
Would the owner sell her to you? If the owner will not move the horse, i would walk away, this set up is going to cause an accident, either yourself or the poor over fresh horse.
