You are absolutely right. But if a thread like this can prevent just one person from being so stupid, then that can only be a good thing.
Donations on Facebook to buy a girl a horse...

You are absolutely right. But if a thread like this can prevent just one person from being so stupid, then that can only be a good thing.

not really because it is biased and not a balanced thread at all, im one person fighting her corner against a lot and its unfair on any onlooker

nothing has happened as yet with the horse but this is getting out of hand and needs to stop, fighting between us isnt going to get anywhere

Glad to hear that. I'm assuming the money will simply be refunded this weekend then to all those who donated.....

Okay, I will agree with you on that one.

However, this is also a fair comment.

Nothing has been decided

What, no decision on whether to keep the money or refund it?

No decision on anything at all as many people support the situation also

Why is this particular horse so special?

Hopefully the dealers are backing out of this idea. It will do their credibility no good whatsoever. Why they ever thought it was a good idea in the first place is beyond me.......

It is special to her, she has bonded with the horse and the horse is also a lovely horse who is very sweet natured and stunning

The dealer wants to retain full control, but people are donating so that the horse can be purchased. So which is it, a loan or a sale... Adds and extra argument to the ethical side of things is this is a loan, without it getting personal as to whether this girl is or isn't a responsible owner/loaner, which is a whole new kettle of fish.

But she could be sold to anyone?

What is to stop one of us asking for donations to buy this horse?

The 'truth' is irrelevant in this case. The 'principle' remains the same. Why would a business associate themselves with this situation? Certainly does nothing to enhance their reputation or credibility.

You would not be offered the opportunity as you do not know the horse or are in the situation she is

They wouldn't have to know........
All they would see would be someone arriving with the money.

How do you know? You have no idea who I am. I could be somebody you're real close too.
But seriously, what is to stop me asking for donations towards this horse?
They would just see me as somebody offering money and at the end of the day, that's all a dealer is after.

I heard about this too, a 'reputable' yard up here did it apparently! A project aswell. Ridiculous!
lucianna97

That is not all a dealer is after, this dealer does not sell to people she feels is not right for the horse

I completely missed this. Disgraceful.

I could call up tonight, arrange to go see this horse and offer the money and maybe more than she's asking for and she would take it.
