This place are coming to light again after re homing Leo walker (username) pony Leo so a very novice girl ...and rehoming whilst lame
I thought she had loaned him to a friend?
ETA: I'm not on Facebook, so can't see a lot of stuff, but this is on their reviews:

I feel very sorry for the pony, I used to like LW's posts about him, and it seems he has ended up in a completely unsuitable home now as well as being in a pretty shocking state when free rein got hold of him ?.
She's taking very expensive legal action so can't post much about the situation but is devastated.
The woman on the dodgy dealer fb group has just posted a load of screenshots of messages between herself and Leo’s original owner. I totally agree with Rowreach, it all needs to be kept off any form of social media. Hope there’s a good outcome for the horse at the end of it all.

could you report your situation to the rspca?I rehomed a pony from a charity 11 months ago. He sounded perfect for me. He was a 7 year old, new Forest X Welsh that had been previously started then turned away and forgotten about. When I enquired about him she said that he needed an experienced home and he could be a little bit nervous but wouldn’t act upon it. Since having him, he has not come with a passport so I had to get it, restart all his jabs, microchip him to me and get his hooves sorted that were in a right state. I also found an owner that had him as a 6 year old in 2012 making him at least 11.
My problem is, is that in the 11 months I’ve had him, we’ve made almost no progress at all. He has a serious bolting issue and I cannot stop him no matter how soft/ firm/ what aids I use or who rides him. When he wants his rider off, it’s coming off!
I’ve had people out to look at him dentist, back, saddle fitter etc etc and I spent hundreds of pounds getting help from a professional trainer to help with breaking him in. But he is still dangerous and I’m terrified of getting back on him as last time I fell off I ended up in hospital!
I had another lady who works with breaking in difficult horses come and tell me that ‘he is seriously f**ked up and something terrible has happened in his past to make him so psychologically broken’ she then went on to tell me it’s all about how much I’m willing to risk, as I am going to have nasty falls, be thrown into fences etc.
To be honest, this pony isn’t worth it! All it takes is one fall and I’ve broken my back and I’d be so angry if this pony stopped me doing the thing I loved most.
My problem now is: I can’t afford to get another horse and keep this one as a companion. In our loan contract from the charity, he must go back. But the charity is so dodgy and has absolutely terrible reviews on what they do with their horses and rehoming dangerous ones to new people all the time. I really don’t want to send him back. Is there anything else I can do?
RSPCA ? Good luck it sounds a horrific situation to be in hopefully it’s sorted soon and he’s in a more suitable home. Good luck to you! Best wishes. XxI’m scared that if I tell her I don’t want him now then she’ll demand he comes back straight away and I know she won’t let me rehome him myself.
I just want to know if there’s someone I can report the charity to.
The OP wont see this as they are not on the forum since mid last year, you are responding to their posts 9 months ago.RSPCA ? Good luck it sounds a horrific situation to be in hopefully it’s sorted soon and he’s in a more suitable home. Good luck to you! Best wishes. Xx
