You purchased him for £80, yet on this thread, you declare that you paid 2 grand,mmmmm
Actually, I think I would rather believe meandtheboys

does it matter how much I paid? he most certainly wasn't on loan and he wasn't free, ownership was transferred over to me. surely if thats the case why is it so that everybody is trying to say I sold him etc etc, if I wanted to and was a heartless person I could have!
 
I am thinking that she does indeed know of the new owner, because it would seem they are not entirely happy with the horse she has sold them.

As it is the written word it is libel dear. Just so you know when you print it off. If I was you I wouldnt though, god knows what they might unearth about your good self.

FYI no, it is not slander.

Slander is the spoken word.

Liable is the written word.

Can't really see the police being that interested to be honest.

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

the horse was dangerous to ride.....A horse is just livestock..same as a cow and a sheep..gosh farmers would be going out of business if people were that sentimental about cows and sheep...

A horse is not livestock - however, it may have been dangerous to ride, I don't know.

I think that your response is very narrow, callous and uncaring.

But surely just handing him over to any old Tom Dick or Harry makes you pretty heartless IMHO, after all if you didn't know who they were I'm guessing you didn't know where they were intending to keep him either? He could have, as someone has already said, ended up in the sale ring & if he did & he is as bad you say, could have badly injured someone when they got him home. To be honest id have thought more of you (not that I'm sure you care) if you had taken him to Potters.
Not my argument, so i bow out now, but just felt i had to say.

so who are these people then? as I havent sold him I gave him away, but he may have been sold on after I had given him away. who knows.
 
Actually, me thinks that Ted's Mum is trying to antagonise everyone into a full on argument on here to get the thread pulled.
Please everyone, keep it calm so this thread stays put.
Cheers

I've kept pretty much out of this - but this quote is a step too far. I have a real problem with people who pass (give away, sell) dangerous horses around.

Aah - I thought the comment I posted was too outragous to be true. i did fall for it though, but was fortunately fairly polite.

perhaps meandtheboy's shouldnt have sold a dangerous horse on then when I was after a safe hacking horse...

True. But if the horse was dangerous, you could have sent it back, or you could have more than made your money back by sending it to Potters.

Very confusing post.

But at least two people on here can pass on a number to MeandtheBoys.

I wish one of you would - really, just do it.

the horse has probably ended up in potters by now anyway
 
but I am sure that all you 'fluffy bunnies' would have got irrate if I had said I had sent it to potters aswell!! wish I had now though!!
 
gave it away as a companion - but if they had tried to ride it after I told them it was nuts thenthey may well have sent it to potters, cos lets be honest who wants a big warmblood that cant be ridden, that doesnt hold weight all that well as a companion I certainly wouldn't so what is all this BS about someone bought A horse off me and they arent happy!! LOL! ive heard nothing,
 
Well, I'd rather hear he had gone to Potters than to a totally uncertain fate... there are a lot of worse fates for a horse than a quick efficient bullet to the brain.
Oh, sorry, am I revealing myself as a non-fluffy-bunny-hugger?

Ted's Mum, why did you sell him on to heaven-knows-where, rather than taking him to Potters, if he really was that dangerous? Must admit I'd like to know how many horses you buy and sell every year, too.
Me: sold three, total, in the last 20 years. ;) ;) I know where they all are, too...
 
It is all very sad that a horse's life has no further value than scoring points over other people! You must feel so very powerful holding on to that little bit of info that could just make someone else feel a little better. What wicked, horrible people some turn out to be! I only hope that when Karma comes calling you get the full force!
