Isn't the imperial horse ltd website back up now? Looks like they've made an announcement on the site about reporting fraudulent claims...

if i can, then i will. the land isnt overly easy to get hold of for grazing horses. my sister has said i can possibly put him out with hers, would one other be enough?

He gets truned out everyday for at least 6 hours a day with company in ajoining paddocks around and next to his. he can touch/ sniff the the other horse in the field next to him.

i would love to not put him in a situation he cant cope with, he is like a stroppy child and has a no answer for a hell of a lot! i adjusted his diet a few months after i got him, as he was being fed as a good doer, but stressed all the weight off! he is fed on hifi light, pony nuts, outshine...

hmmm. he settles for a little while in the field, but once something starts him off he goes. in all honesty i just dont trust him in a field 24/7. sounds really bad i know, but ive seen how he reacts to everything, thats all :(

he was kept at the other end of a 5/6 stable block :( he wasnt like this when i tried him, he was actually normal! but then it was the environment he was used to for a year. when the transporter picked him up, he was brought out in a chiffney and the stable had bars up. none of this was...

i know angelish, i apologise for jumping the gun (or down your throat!) :o we are unfortunately very limited over here, people have suggested a hunting home for him, which would be an ideal solution to keep him thinking forwards. my only worry with him being kept for so long with another/...

yea sorry, just a little bit short on the subject. ive had a lot of people going on at me about it, and he doesnt help the situation. hes such a lovelyy lad, with a hell of a lot of character, i just dont want to end up getting hurt, or see him hurting someone else :(

please, feel free to feel sorry for him. i certainly do. if you read back, i have put that its not his fault, im not stupid, its pretty obvious he isnt meant to be like this. ive had him for a year and hes gotten progressivly worse, again read back. ive tried a hell of a lot to help him...

ive stuck him on gastriaid, thought there was no harm in trying. he is the type which would get them. having spoken to my trainer, she thinks he was brought up like a "gypsy horse"... left with his mum and in a herd too long, then when they took him away he couldnt cope so went mental, so he...

doesnt explain the stress behaviour in the stabel, or the jumping the door, rearing at the door etc. he doesnt do it everytime i get on him, i can ride him and hes fine, then he will just turn. he would trash a field in an instant, is a proper rotivator. plus he doesnt live out, and cant stay...

I havent had the vet out yet, thats my next port of call tomorrow, i ahev only started seriously considering it today.

I have no problem with the insurance not paying out. It was just a suggestion which was put to me, and i was considering my options. Obviously i want the best for him, and having him PTS might be the kinder thing to save what mental state he has left. its a shame, when he behaves, he behaves...

He has had his teeth etc checked. the stressy behavious in the stable wouldnt relate to saddle fittings. You can tell by his eyes its all mental stress (his eyes go bright red, and his bottom lips tucks in) he's done it for a long time but no one has bothered to deal with it so it has gotten...
