Please don't waste your time, or the police's.
Libel (and slander) is entirely a civil, not criminal, matter, so you will be told to seek legal advice from a solicitor.

no abuse or accusations from me, two reasonable questions actually, which you have chosen to ignore...

I have to say this thread is making me go cold.
There but for the grace of god went I.......god knows where Sid would have ended up.
Teds Mum - I don't know you or the orginal owner. I don't know if the horse was lame with Thrush, 1/10ths lame or three legged. I don't know if you bought the horse for £80, £2000 or were given it. I don't know if you have sold it, shot it or given it away.
But what I do know is this - thats someones horse you're talking about so callously. Its not a sheep, a cow or a goat - its someones HORSE. Can you not give the previous owners some idea of where her horse went? I'm sorry but you must know something or know this friend who knew the people you "gave" it to.
This isn't a pair of shoes to throw away and not think about again and to post so harshly and so uncaringly is quite frankly sickening. What frightens me even further is I saw a post by you only a short time ago saying you were looking for another horse - if the next one doesn't meet standards what fate awaits it?
Please just do the right thing and let the woman know what happened and where he's gone. Please.

This situation absolutely stinks. Ted's Mum you really do deserve a thorough good wake up call. Give the previous owner all the details you have - that is unless all those details are totally fictional which as this post goes on it seems the only likely conclusion that can be drawn.
I would assume that the "new owners" and the "old owners" are probably left blissfully unaware of each other's identity to prevent "comparing of notes" to take place....... Perhaps a bit of picture posting of said animal might reveal it's location alive or recently PTS.

wow. talk about airing your dirty laundry in public from both sides! So confusing. So as i got the story wrong to start with from what I can make out Teds mum bought a horse for next to nothing from another person on here,Teds mum has now sold/given the horse away without letting the original owner know and now the original owner is upset about it.
I am not sticking up for anyone but I assume the person who Teds mum sold it to knew about its problems and took it as a companion? They have then tried to ride it and are also not happy as its 'dangerous' (although from what I can make out its not actually dangerous just not suitable for what Teds mum bought it as ie a happy hacker)?
Unless the Teds mum signed something to say that she will not sell it on then there is really nothing the original owner can do about it and they don't really have anything to be cross about.
As I said, I personally would not do what Teds mum has done ( as I would not with my gift horse) and if it really is as dangerous as stated then it should have been PTS, however, I could sell my gift horse if I wanted and the person I bought it from would not have a say in it.
Unless, I have got the wrong end of the stick again!

I think it's the fact that Ted's Mum maintains that she's giving horses a home for life. When anyone that posts a 'What shall I do with this horse that can only be used as a companion', Ted's mum is saying 'I'm looking for a companion' then selling it for meat/ridden horse, etc.

you are spot on. at no time did I sign a contract that the horse would be kept forever..I bought him with a cheque so can prove that by bank statements etc...also have a reciept.

I see, still, without a written agreement then its all hearsay and means nothing, a warning to everyone.
I was given a horse a few months ago and I assured the owner I would not sell him on, which to the best of my ability I would not, however, there is nothing in writing so nothing to stop me.

I have a feeling that pretty much everything you say is a lie...
This forum is proof, written proof, that you claimed to pay £2000 for this horse in one thread, and then £80 in another.
There is also proof in one thread that you claim to buy and sell, yet in a different thread you deny being a dealer...
Do you really expect anyone to believe you can't get hold of contact details for this horses new owner? Because it doesn't wash. Of course you can get hold of a number, or even a name. If a friend of yours put you in touch with the horses new owner, then I suggest you give your friend a call to find this information out...

no its not. I bought him as he was being sold as a riding horse (the wobbler I mean) the poor thing couldnt stand properly let alone be ridden so he went to potters , best place for the poor old ting.

Situation normal
Curious - do you not view horses or vet them prior to purchase?

why should I have to? the horse was sold to me, I have now given it away so end of as far as I am concerned. if meandtheboys was so concerned about her horse, she shouldn't have sold it in first place and say that he was safe when he wasn't

yes coming from your direction, atleast have a decent story and keep it straight.
im sure the owner would like closure, i know i would.

unfotunately, the 'Why should I have to' attitude only ever comes into play when there is something to hide...
If what you say is true, finding the contact details and passing the information on is pretty much the only way you are going to come out of this unscathed... You are a proved liar, and it is hardly suprising that people are forming such a negative opinion on you, based on this thread alone.
You don't HAVE to do anything, but if you're so squeaky clean and speaking the truth I can see no reason for you not to pass on contact details.

I dont know the contact details how many times do I have to say it!! if I had them then I would have quite happily sent them over...

£80 for a safe hacking horse... Wouldnt alarm bells go off as a warmblood who is a safe hacking horse would surely be over £3k... If you find anymore, let me know!

Well, if anyone should, you should, because you sold him on, and presumably you at least know the name of the person you sold him to...?
