What do you guys make of this?

Bought a horse from a lady a couple of months ago and she lied in the advert and was less than forthcoming about the whole thing. Totally lied about why she was selling it and omitted some rather full on vices. When I first bought it we were quite pally texting etc. It was then very badly behaved and I checked the history.

Found out she only had it two weeks and basically a lot of what she told me was junk. It didn't matter as its fine and I'm happy to sort it out but obviously not hugely pleased the pally side of me now ceased. I was polite but very short.

She then starts wanting to come and see it - yes she had it two weeks! Rather than argue with her I just ignored the message. Well 10 Facebook messages and countless texts later she's still bugging me it's really weird. I should say I haven't replied to any but it's all am I alright and is the horse getting quite forceful!

Would you just block or would you message her and say you know she's a liar get lost! I was trying to avoid drama to be honest but what a weirdo to carry on and on messaging someone about something she had for so little time and lied about? Talk about drama!
 
Block her and do it now! Different situation but I had loads of grief with a nut job I bought a horse from a couple of years ago. I tried to keep the peace at first but eventually her behaviour was so bad there was a huge bust up and I blocked her. When I checked my blocked messages about a year later she had been messaging me abuse and vitriol for absolutely ages!
 
I would say nothing and just block her. There are nutters in every corner! She is probably worried her lies have put you in hospital!

What is it with these people? She's acting really entitled it's bonkers
 
Block her and ignore. And keep her blocked.

This week I've had a whole lot of vitriol from someone about an entirely different thing, and so I blocked her.

Problem was I then got all the Harpy Friends messaging me to "put me in the picture" of what a terrible time she's going through because I've been nasty to her......... so be prepared to block any friends too!!
 
I have had a similar situation with the previous owner of one of my girls. They are bonkers. They kept hassling me to buy her back. I let them come and see her so they could be reassured that she was happy but in the end I had to block them on FB cos they wouldn't leave me alone and I was beginning to feel under siege. Then I got loads abusive messages and text messages.

I've still been sending them the odd letter to let them know how she is but every now and then I find they've put up ads all over the internet saying that they don't know where the pony is and I'm being mean and not staying in contact with them!!?? I still get random FB friend requests from their associates.

Very sadly I've had to cut all contact because their behaviour isn't normal in my view. I would strongly urge you to do the same!
 
Oh god, Block Block Block! I had one of these. I bought a pony outright and had him for a year and all through the year on every facebook post they'd comment how much they loved and missed "their boy", even though they had done nothing with him apart from sitting in a field and he came to me with very long hooves and no vaccs! I ended up losing my grazing and as I assumed they loved him so much I offered them to have him back for free for a home for life and I even arranged the transporter. They had him about a month before selling him on again, probably for a lot more money after all the training I put on! (Driven single and started pairs work!)
 
Block!

The woman I bought my old horse from just couldn't let go - texted me every day, would just 'drop by' to see him (although you couldn't see him from the road and had to climb over a fence and through a hedge to get a glimpse...), slagged off my RI/YM, told me I was cruel (she let him get 150kg overweight and I was the mean one for muzzling him and putting on soaked hay...).

Went on and on until I lost my job and was forced to sell. Assumed she'd want him back as she would still call me crying about it a few months on - and did she? Nope! Didn't want to give up her newly acquired lie-ins. Fair enough really, except she gave me utter, utter hell and brought on really bad anxiety attacks (this was in November, and I've only just 'recovered').

So yeh. Block!!!
 
How odd! You'd think as she lied she'd want to cut all ties asap wouldn't you?!
Perhaps it is guilt as Clodagh said? Really strange but yes I'd also block Its hassle you dont need.
 
Uuuuurgggh block, block, block!

Or you are likely to get the drunken, sobbing phone calls at 3am begging 'is my boy ok, I just need to know he's ok or I think I might die' *
Like I got


* this was a horse she had all but abandoned on a livery yard & I bought for £5 as she was going to have put done
 
Mind you I *believe* my drunken, sobby ex-owner still goes around telling people she owns him & I'm just looking after him until her father's estate is sorted so she can buy a place with land.
I've had him 5 years [rolls eyes]
 
Blocked and the mobile too just incase what a nob. He had shoes hanging off and was so poor she has a cheek really does! Thanks all
 
It really winds me up seeing all the pages and posts on FB with people like this harping on about how they need to find 'their boy/girl' like they have a god given right to the horse despite selling. Then get really nasty when people point out the horse isn't theirs and if new owners don't want to know then tough.. The worst are the ones who say they want to find the current home to buy the horse back, ummm you sold it so unless the current owner has it up for sale......
