Having said that... I think someone said above, isn't it the point of a loan pony that if it doesn't suit your needs anymore for any reason it can just go home, likewise if the owner decides their circumstances have changed and they want the pony back. Not that this is the case. Horse is...

If the vet had told me he had a good chance of recovery within say 3-4 months I would not even consider sending him back until he was totally fixed. Laminitis would not be an issue, a kick can be dealt this as long as there is a good prognosis. I have had chiropractors, saddlers and thermal...

Did i ever say money no object????? My point was it's not about the money but the fact she wants me to pay for something I don't want/need. Have i mentioned that I have been the loaner in a very similar situation? Loanee took vets advice, which was pts & if i had wanted further investigations...

She wanted to come see him (fair enough) which took a few days, then her boyfriend to meet him & he couldn't get there for a week. Each time we've collected her/ them from the station & taken her back as neither of them drive. She has seen the horse a total of 3 times in the last 9 months, 2...

But weeks ago the owner told me she didn't want to bother with x rays & arranged to be pts!! It was over a week later that she changed her mind.

Written in contract owner oasis for ptd. This is not an issue!

Something else which may influence opinions... the current owner has had him for 2 years, previous owner of over 15 years agreed pts. In fact he already is Loss of use due to a serious tendon injury to a front leg that he recovered from, he is an ex - hunt horse so has plenty of old injuries &...

The owner has decided to have him back & she has said he will be going in a field to recover with Bute so nothibg different is happening now than would be if he was with her. He still continues to get worse however.. also before anyone asks why I haven't sent him back yet she doesn't have...

You are still missing the point that the vet believes he should be pts, why would I pay for vets advice then ignore it???

Vet has said x-rays will confirm whether or not it is definitely a fracture in which case field rest *could* work. However it is his opinion (and another vet who has been to the yard for other reasons agrees) based on circumstances surrounding the injury (no other horses in field to kick him...

Oh yes that was never in question! Just that if she insisted on traveling him after an x-ray ready shorted he would not recover then i would not pay

She's both seen the horse & spoken to the vet!! However the information she gave the vet was not correct (he told me exactly what she said) she told him horse looks better & barely lame!! He still maintains that prognosis is not good as he has obviously seen the horse himself over the 7 weeks...

Interesting she chose option A..... take from that what you will.

I'm not awol!! Just busy!! I have 3 other horses, children & dogs to care for!! Not including work lol!! I took opinions on board & offered half the cosy of the x-ray with some conditions, part of the message below.. Whilst I don’t think any of this is harming ******* (he is oblivious in...

Thank you everyone, I have offered half the cost of the x-rays but on the provision that something happens the next day, whether that be pts peacefully or taken back to her care so I don't have to watch him suffer, I think that's fair.
