    WWYD? Re. dangerous horse for sale...

    My god! I literally don't believe people! so an animal that put his owner in hospital is being sold with no mention of his serious issues?!?! It beggers belief.

    I'm calling it a day :(

    Heya, not commentated on any of your previous posts but wanted to say I am so sorry for the loss of your little girl and now this. Your boy was sent away to be backed, wasn't he? I would say this in your ad, perhaps say he has been turned away since and you are looking for someone...

    One last evening, my beautiful boy Torres

    I am so sorry, the pictures made me cry so I can only imagine what you are suffering with. Thought will be with you tomorrow xx

    Would you try and persuade her to sell??

    I think there are two key areas here which need to be addressed and there is clearly a difference of opinion between yourself, OP, and the owner. 1. You want to buy the horse and owner doesn't want to sell. You need to speak with her (maybe an email would be a good idea as you then have...

    Scumbags at Appleby Abandon Injured Horses

    Across the road from where I keep my horses is a gypsy camp (I am not sure of the correct term). It is a long-standing hold and they keep a number of horses there which they race up and down the road every day (the road is a very busy, major A road dual carriageway). The horses are skin and...

    Horses height vs riders hight

    I agree with others, you look fine but I would be very surprised if he was 15.1 I would be really interested to hear how big he was after measuring again (use a proper measuring stick though, if you possibly can)

    What does permanent loan mean to you? Owner wants back 4 winter?

    Sorry but the idea of a permanent loan seems to be a contradiction in terms. My pony is out on long-term loan, meaning the lady who has him wants to keep him for a good few years and I have no need of him and am happy for him to stay with her as long as the agreement works. Permanent means...

    What do you think?

    Thank you, Wagtail. It is my worst fear realised (that she would feel abandoned). I just want her home now, instead I have to wait until next Monday!

    What do you think?

    Thank you for your replies everyone. She is not going to go back out on loan now, I don't think it's fair on her. I will maybe look for another sharer for her in a couple of months, depending on how she is. I really hope you are right and she returns to her "normal" character once she is home...

    What do you think?

    She's been ridden by multiple people since I have had her. A sharer twice a week, my sister and a good friend regularly.

    What do you think?

    Sorry if this is a little long, not sure where to start... I bought a Welsh D mare a few years ago, she came to me green and I was told she had been a bit too sharp for previous owners. She napped a little when I first got her home but nothing that someone with a little experience couldn't...

    Telling horses apart

    I have lost count of the times I have asked my OH to bring one of my two girls up to the yard and he's arrived with the wrong one! Both are bright bay with similar markings, however, one is a 14.3 Welsh D and the other is a 16hh warmblood so I am always confused as to how he can't tell them...

    Those with non horsey oh's

    First time I got my OH up the yard I had him mucking out. He was less than impressed. Five years later he is always up there. Doesn't ride but does everything else, he has his favourite of my horses, and spends his own money buying her gifts. To be honest it does drive me crazy occasionally as...

    Feeling sad

    I have decided to put my mare and gelding out on loan. My mare (who I adore) is off to her new loan home on Friday. It is the perfect home for her, and I am excited that she will be getting out and doing more than I have been able to do with her. However, I am so very upset that I won see her...
