But why wouldn’t you get it right first? Our shetland is fit and well and in full work now her EMS is controlled. Management is a bit interesting but she’s just as able to do her job (teaching kids to ride) now as she was before. I doubt they’ll even find a loan home if it’s still not sound.
They don't want to spend money I think and take the time it takes to fix them.
The dye has run but those are pretty expensive new so I might have a go at cleaning it at the right price.
I'd want to see what it looks like underneath, but agreed. The saddle's going to be covering up the stains.
It just looks grim.
Someone will probably buy it though as they are so expensive new.
No but "his previous owner said that he has been driven in the past and I'm sure he would be an excellent doing this, though we haven't tried him ourselves" so that's ok.
Bodes well for taking off the yard or out to a show then!
I think I saw that one too.
I think I saw this one, and liked the comment by someone challenging them. Who is going to pay to fuss with her non ridden tb or train her youngster? She was not happy at the comments!
That's interesting! I was going to say I'd be curious to know what they envisaged the sharer of the non-ridden doing with the horse.
I think chores were required too.
I’d suggest hospitalisation and splints but I’m no vet. Wonder if it’s a backyard breeder
A lot of people posting to this sort of group are in rural America, frequently many hours from a equine vet, and often many hours from a vet of any description. Would I breed in those circumstances? No. But it's a very different mindset.
Hey I’ve got 2 non ridden you’re welcome & play with & do all those things. No payment & no chores just come & enjoy being with my very well behaved horses.
