They only had to reapply as well. It wasn't like he was being dragged out of the country. Its put me off her completely as well as a few other things, like the connie going team chasing and being horribly overfaced.

I've unfollowed her page. I can't stand the level of stupidity and entitlement. They roped their MP into it too and when he said that he can assist where the HO has made a mistake , but as this isn't the case there's nothing he can do. James called him useless. How rude!!
And she still maintains that it's the HO fault that he didn't know not to leave the country or that they didn't tell him in June when he left the country.
Oh grow up and take responsibility for your own screw up.

Yes he has been working and living here for 12 years. Has a long term British partner and a child on the way. Clearly committed to the UK. He has spent a week a year in Germany as part of his job. Seemed bizarre that disqualifies him from indefinite leave to remain.

The asylum sustem is rubbish but that does not mean other things aren;t overly punitive too.

It didn’t disqualify him just auto cancelled the application so they’d have had to submit (and pay) again

frankly the comments were the most depressing bit.
I was surprised it got reinstated.

all those illegal immigrants in posh hotels
He should just get in a dinghy

I was a bit surprised nothing was said in the post about not commenting stuff like that when it started.

She did delete some comments , a long thread about "boat people " was deleted.
Stupidity really winds me up and people not understanding the difference between an ILR application and illegal immigration and asylum seeking just annoys me.
She also deleted the few comments I saw from people saying and showing screenshots from .gov about not leaving the country during the application process.

Yes I saw those and felt so depressed I had to disengage. Especially as they got hundreds of likes.
 
I’m an experienced 14 year old rider, looking to school or work some ponies for £15 for 3 days of work/schooling. I’ve schooled my own pony who, a year ago, galloped around the arena and couldn’t stay in walk, and now can be ridden with just a head collar and do small trotting circles. You can bring your horse to my yard or I’m willing to travel no more than 20 minutes away. If wanting me to work your pony, I’ll do any of the following exercises that you want me to: walking, trotting, cantering, jumping or pole-work.
11HH-15'2HH
I have competed up to 1M and im willing to compete your horse at beginner levels for £10 per show & you pay entree fee.

Who’s gonna pay a child for this? Or am I being stupid? The insurance alone would be criminal?

You can't knock a kid for trying but I hope no one takes advantage of them :(

Not asylum , indefinite leave to remain. Different things.
This entitled twit things that it's unfair that he broke through rules and his application was cancelled. So pressured the HO making an exception for him.
While everyone else has to abide by the rules.

Hight of entitlement.

It is the increasingly vicious home office that is the problem.

That’s why we’re going down the ‘project’ route for my son, who has backed and schooled some for friends, but now wants to develop those skills further. Much easier from a legal/insurance standpoint!

Many of those offering backing and schooling for ponies will be using children though - their own kids, friends’ kids - competent riders small enough for an 11.2hh don’t come in adult size. Difference there is that the adult is in charge!

that’s so exciting for him!! He must be an amazing rider already
Nice to hear about boys horse riding I barely see any boys at my local riding school anymore ?
I would feel more confident with this operation! As I know the parents are horse brained! (Or hope)

Just seen a sway-backed, 23 years old "welsh" pony going for 1500€. Didn't even bother to look at the rest of the advert. (not that I'm really looking, I got my wonderful 25 year old companion for the the grand sum of 0€)

Seeing adverts like this break my heart. Wish every owner could give their oldies the retirement they deserve.

Instead of getting your child a lump of coal this year, may i present Lucy!

Had decided to keep it, realised it had just manipulated me by putting its ears forward for a few days.
Crawled out from hell almost 3 years ago, refuses to go back (ive tried rituals). Some brave soul did break her to ride and drive, i havent continued this because im pretty sure although the demon inside her is thousands of years old, her body isnt mature yet. Doesnt bite, yet. Does kick, less so if you are the main care giver and she needs in order to live, will mostly warn you first.
Oddly, it does come to call and allows you to catch it. Pretty sure shes plotting something though.
Excellent to keep intruders away, will likely eat the body after shes dealt with them.
Hates my dog, probably because its too stupidly happy to be scared of her and she resents that.
Someone take it.
Please.
Dorset. Rising 3. 11h approx. Filly

Just the sort of purchase for my kids ?
 
Horse for sale by a riding school. Add states they want to sell the horse to get funds to bring in more prospective horses to bring on, use for riding school, and sell. The horse seems a decent, general all-rounder who supposedly ticks all the boxes (loads and travels, hacks alone or in company, sweet natured, snaffle mouthed, etc etc). All fine and good, price seems appropriate if all those things truly are correct and the horse is sound (10-11k). Looks cute in the photos, but looks possibly a bit chubby and nothing super exciting.

BUT - the add states that the buyer will be required to keep the horse on working livery at the riding school for a minimum of one year. Is it just me or does this seem really odd?? The first comment on the post asks for clarification on when payment would be due (before or after the year finishes), who would be responsible for insurance, what if horse goes lame/gets injured while on the working livery, etc. and has quite a lot of likes, so surely it can't just be me. Seller of course just says "I'll DM you" rather than sharing the information publicly. It seems totally unreasonable to me for someone to say yeah, buy this horse but then I still have control over what you do with it for the next year? Like at that point you're paying 10k for what is effectively the privilege of part-loaning your own horse while the previous owner uses the horse for their riding school? Am I off the mark here? I can't imagine ever agreeing to this as a buyer.

ETA: To me this just seems like the seller needs/wants the money but can't actually afford to be down a horse for their riding school, which IMO is not the buyer's problem. But I suppose from a seller's perspective you might as well see if anyone goes for it. Sounds like a nightmare in the making though...

Depends on the riding school I guess. I’ve known people buy horses to keep them on working livery at very good riding schools.

I've definitely seen people, especially first time owners, do this and can totally understand. But in the cases I've seen it has always been the decision of the purchaser, and often they were already clients at the riding school they purchased the horse from. But I guess it just seems cheeky to me for the seller to require it? Surely after you purchase the horse, they're yours and you should have control over their care and who provides their care - it would be a red flag to me not to have choice over that type of thing and be that tied to the former owner. But I guess to each his own

I would think that legally the RS wouldn’t have a leg to stand on if the buyer decided to move the horse.
 
I think that it would be possible to frame a contract where £x is rebated for the use of the horse by the riding school for one year, and that the riding school would be entitled to sue for the whole of part of the balance if the contract was broken.
