Free to good home, a warning.

Sorry, I don't believe anything you say, and have heard that this is far from the only free horse that you have profited from.

I bought the horse off her and paid with a cheque, he wasnt given to me, I had vets out to him and he had severe thrush, he had a full lameness workup..nothing wrong with him, so I gave him away as he was dangerous to ride.

Well that makes it all better than, passing on a dangerous horse!!!!
I really wonder what goes through some peoples heads. :mad:
 
Am I to understand that the above person takes on horses that are offered for free( and states they will have a good home ) and then sells them on? Maybe one, but not if its a regular thing!
I was given a horse this year and I still have him, he is a fab horse and I could sell him for a lot of money however, unless my circumstances really changed he will always be with me and if I had to move him on I would only ever loan him.

If he had severe thrush he would have been in a considerable amount of pain and wouldnt have been 100% sound

I've been staying out this post as I don't like arguing. But this made me realy sad :(:( I hope you passed the horse on honestly if he is dangerous and to someone who can cope with him.
My pony Herbie has been passed around alot before he came to me. He was dangerous and I wasn't told the whole story when I took him on. I'm just so glad he ended up with me. He has a home for life now just like Lucy did. I could never pass on a dangerous horse unless I could garentee where it would end up I would rather PTS, if only for the horses sake.
Herbie has had all the wrong owners in his life and he prob got more dangerous with each one :(
Herbie was as good as free and Merryn my other pony was free. (He doesn't have behavoural issues, he has health issues ) They will both stay with me forever and I will do all I can to ensure that happens.
 
How could anyone sell a horse on for profit when it was given to you free, this horse most probably has problems whats the world coming too.
Breeze has a home for life and i would work every hour under the sun to pay for her, when she is unrideable either by arthritis or old age she will be pts as shes a horse that has to do something she gets very bored, i would never pass her on as a companion in fear of her being sold on further rather pts knowing that she is at peace and not suffering.
 
Sadly we end up looking for these horses and not always with a happy ending, and someone is always there waiting to make a profit without any regard for the horse or its welfare, so long as there is a quick buck to be made :-(

If what you are saying is correct, why dont you pass on the details of the new owner to the original owner? Unless you have something to hide..

I do not have the details of the new owners...they moved away ages ago as far as I know. what has it got to do with the old owner, he was sold to me as a riding horse, she no longer wanted him so sold him to me for pittance...he had thrush that was the reason for his lameness the vets said this to me. and his thrush cleared up after I had treated it. I am absolutely disgusted in that everyone is posting on this thread has no idea who I am or have never met me. I could take this and report it to the police as slander.

this, but then he was treated..wheras he wasnt in his last home - the lady who sold him to me said he was 1/10ths lame and that it was undiagnosed.
 
Ted's Mum, out of interest, how many horses have you had in the last twelve months then? Actually, I'll rephrase to make it clearer, how many horses have passed through your care in the last twelve months?
 
Surely IF this was the case something like thrush would of been diagnosed prior to doing a lameness work up.

My horses have their feet picked out daily and I for one and certainly my vets would pick up on a severe case of thrush if this were the cause of the lameness. Prior to continuing with a "work up"

Not exactly rocket science is it.

Not always... thrush can be deep in central sulcus which you cannot see or smell and often farriers miss it... these cases are unlikely though and generally occur in horses with odd shaped feet.
 
Ted's Mum, if you had a horse from MeandtheBoys, free - and have now sold it on - please give her the details of where the horse has gone etc.

As someone who entered in to a discussion with you myself about my horse - this is hitting a nerve, and I would like to think better of you than this post implies.........

havent sold it on, didnt have it free I bought it for 80 pounds. dont know where horse has gone, didnt get their details if I had them I would give them to her, i'm not being funny but if she cared so much about said horse then she would have had some decent vets come and look at his feet she would have known that he had only thrush - which I had treated before sending him to his new home and cost me an arm and leg in vets bills, she also told me that the horse was safe to ride..not only did he rear, he took off down a busy main road could have killed my mate who was riding him at the time....this wasn't because he was in pain as his thrush had cleared up by then and had physio, and dentist out and saddle fitted....

So you have given this horse away to someone who you don't know, and now have no idea where this horse is - is that correct?
 
I have given him away....not sold him! big difference. I am going to print this page off and take it to the police. it's slander.
 
know their first name but no other details , they just came and picked him up was a friend who got in touch with them..but friend doesn't know them..think they advertised or something.

Wow, I'm shocked at such a caveliar attitude. Let's hope the horse is ok, and not in a sales ring:o
