Desperate for help on re-homing my 6 year old TB

Was a hhoer mentioned amymay?

Firefly tbf this post did bring up TB savvy organisations I wouldn't have been aware of but yes, otherwise it is all a bit odd and the sort to be put down to easter holidays if it were not for the H4H ad.
 
Unusually for me, I've not read the whole thread, so forgive me if this has been mentioned already. You say he doesn't jump and is scared most of the time - have you had his eyesight checked?

I think the OP has her own ideas, and really wanted to find someone who would take the horse off her hands, but also give her a whackload of money.
A newby poster [ Bericote] did get in touch with her and all we know now is that poor Alfie has gone to a better place.... oh and OP wants another one asap apparently she is a confident rider so really .......................
I don't think we will be hearing much more from OP for a while, or is the ban permanent?
Fat Controller ??? ........... does this original post qualify as an advert?

I need advice on the best place/home for my stunning and loving TB.
and it went downhill from there........................

My god, some of you people are actually plain disgusting. Who makes you better than the next person??
I came on here for help and advice (as suggested by a friend), thank you to those that helped and for those that didn't.................what is wrong with you all?
No need for a reply thinking you are better than other people , which is a disgusting attitude and seriously un-attractive trait, as I will by closing this account and not reading what you have written back.
For the lovely bitchy comments some of you wrote...............I have reported you.
To those of you that helped me, which is why I came on here in the first place, thank you so much for your help.

Advice and comments that you don't like is bitchy and advice that you do like is helpful.
I was probably reported by OP but so far I have not been struck by lightning.
Poor Alfie.

Thanks to you I am sobbing now when I thought I was doing the right thing for him. Thank you so much Bonkers2
 
Lol reported for what I have seen nothing but help and advice for you.

You still haven't clarified what on earth this magic blood test was that you managed to get done over a bank holiday weekend and has confirmed he is 100% fine...

Well Foxy, I am sorry, but we did give you advice on your TB, and so did others, you chose to ignore it He may be fine, why don't you go and see him?

You can't really blame me for your tears, the whole thing is upsetting for anyone who wants to see all horses happy.

Don't you realise that it was your advert for a new horse that got everyone rather annoyed.

Do you think I did this to see him unhappy?? I get pictures sent from his new mum. He looks happy on content.

You all gave me different advice and I went with what was right for him.

The blood test was done on Thurs and showed that his liver and kidneys were functioning ok as the vet thought that may be what was wrong. I really don't know why I am still justifying this on here anymore.

Seriously, please stop. He is really happy where he is and so is the lady that has him. I am heart broken. Please don't make it worse. He is happy, that's all a horse lover wants...........right?
 
So you thoroughly checked out where he's gone? Saw the yard, obtained references?

Hopefully the new owner is not called 'Young'.
 
Well hopefully you checked out the person who has him now. THere are a couple of unsavoury characters who watch this forum and take on horses just like him and then pass them off as riding horses if they can or if not they profit to the tune of whatever the meat man is paying.

As for advertising for a new horse immediately, that's bound to upset people, especially those who tried to help you as you were claiming that due to family and financial issues you couldn't keep the one you already had. Some of us do make sure we can keep our old or unrideable horses.

I have never had finical difficulties. I needed him to go ASAP as I had made up my mind, I was heartbroken and could not bare looking at his beautiful face everyday knowing that he was going to leave me as he was not the one for me.
I re-homed him rather than selling him so that he would not go from person to person.
I know I have done the right thing.

As well as admitting defeat and knowing he has to go, I have had someone horrific family news meaning that I need my horse to go ASAP to be able to have this heart ache over to be able to concentrate fully on my family.

Help needed and thank you in advance.

well you needed to concentrate fully on your family, I think people thought that meant time was of the essence for you and that you couldn't cope with a horse currently.
 
I'd really like the comments to stop now as I can't not read them and I feel physically sick from what some of you have said. This was the right choice for Alfie and myself so please now leave me alone.

You haven't prevented him from being passed on.

However, you've done your homework on the person who now has him, so can now only hope for the best.

No, its because I was heat broken. This was one of the hardest choices I have ever had to make and unfortunately some of you have just made it so much worse for me :-(

I really can't reply to anymore as I am so utterly upset.
 
but you had horrific family news and now you were just heartbroken because of the horse? You were the one that said ASAP as needed to concentrate on family not me! this gets even more odd!

How about posting the pictures you've got of him happy in his new home? That might settle people's minds a bit.
 
I did not contribute to this thread earlier, I read the posts and did feel sorry for the horse, for whatever reason, he seemed very unhappy. On the one had I did wonder whether it was a safe and sane thing to do to pass him on, on the other hand I have seen horses like this transformed in a new knowledgeable and experienced home. To be honest OP I am by no means convinced that you did all the checks you could and should have with a horse behaving like this, but that is by the by. It also frustrated me that with a horse with so many issues, you believed he was worth anything more than £200 - to me this is utterly bonkers. I sincerely hope he has landed on his feet with a new home, although it does seem awfully fast. I could understand the speed of it due to serious family issues, but then to see that whilst you had to get rid of Alfie asap because of these issues but miraculously they dont affect you taking another horse on and blatently searching for one on her on the very same day you post about Alfie being rehomed. Its very distasteful and smacks of deception. OP you may have over horsed yourself or there could be something very wrong with him, but either way you didn't care you just wanted rid. It isn't surprising that people are now questioning your sincerity or his welfare.

No, it gets more complicated. Seriously Ester................leave me alone. I have done the right thing for Alfie (my main priority), myself and my family. Just leave me alone. I have been crying nonstop for the last half an hour. Alfie is happy and that's all that matters. Just please stop messaging me.

How about you all leave me alone now. This is not a joke. This is my life. He was my life. The vets, who are the 'specialists', not you people, advised that he was ok to be re-homed.

Get off my back now. This is just awful. I have never known anything like it in my life.

OP, let's take a step back, and stop for a moment with the drama.

You started this whole discussion (with a group of really knowledgeable people.....). And now people are keen to ensure that the horse has been well placed.

The photo idea is a great one, and one I'd have thought you'd be delighted to share given the really positive outcome and success of re homing the horse.
 
I seriously cannot believe some of the posts on here. Foxy109 gave us an update on hers and Alfies situation, thank youFoxy109.
Why are you all being so bitchy and horrible? I just dont understand it. Someone needed to rehome/sell their horse- and that could be the situation in the future for any one of you. None of us can ensure a horses future, we dont even know how our own lives will turn out.
OP has done her utmost best for her beloved horse, the ad on Homes4horses was just fine, and it seems she has found a perfectly suitable home.
What is the matter with all of you that are doubting and nasty? Most people in thiis world are genuine, and I for one am happy for the seller/loaner, new owner/loanee and most of all for Alfie who is now enjoying the lovely summer sunshine rather than being made into dog meat or Tesco pies!
 
Yikes, what a thread. I'm semi-trying to find a new home for another TB, on behalf of friend who has no time for her (quirky) horse. And no time to advertise, show him off or anything...
I don't really know where to start, or how much input friend wants me to do.
Oh well, glad Alfie is in a loving home, just hope I can do the same with friends horse.
