Emily King - horses moved?

I think we are in agreement IHW, I just can't convey what I mean very well on my phone!

I don't think her crowd fund me idea was a good one and i imagine itll come back to haunt her soon when she doesnt make good on every promise (that she made in writing) that she made to every donor.

Also have no issue with her buying other horses be it with her own money or owners. It just doesn't sit right that she has/had access to "legitimate" (not the right word) funds but chose to fundraise for herself via social media 😬

Also in agreement that I dont care because none of it is my money so if I end up behind the scenes at Badders it's because I'm lost and it because I own 1/5678th of a horse 😂
 
People are writing as if they would own a part of the horse if they donated. My recollection is that Emily is the full owner of the horse. It wasn't a syndication like Art, it was a donation to Emily to enable her to buy the horse for herself and a subsidy of his running costs.

People on the just giving page complaining that none of her promises have materialised:

Jonty fully owns Art, but people who donated were well aware of that. The 'owned by 6000 people' narrative is not literal though we do feel part of a family. Well I do anyway. But I agree with you that the the 2 situations don't remotely compare. Jonty made Art and they were already an established partnership. Emily just took a shine to a youngster. Jonty plunged every penny he could to secure Art plus went on a mega fund raising spree. He worked his socks off to try and keep Art and used crowd funding as part of a much bigger effort and as a last resort. Emily just seems to have done it as the easiest option for her. And most importantly, Jonty did not make false promises. There is regular contact with Art's 'family' and there was never any expectation anyway. People donated because the story moved them. Jonty and Art is a love story that I feel privileged to have been a small part of. I doubt the same applies to EK.
 
I did not realise that. I just knew that when we donated it was made clear that Jonty would own Art and would be giving him a home for life. We were not buying into a syndicate.

no that was clear from the start. There were 2 very big donations as well as all the smaller ones so I would imagine those are the other official co-owners.

Can't speak for anyone else but being included in the FB group has been a nice return on my tiny donation, especially during Jonty's recovery, it's been lovely to follow that and see him get back on his feet with Art.
 
Yes Jonty went about it the right way, well the donation bit anyway. It for me was all very clear what the deal was and he has followed up on his promises - that bit was done very professionally and I’m glad he secured the horse (although didn’t feel the need to donate myself)
