Sorry.............just to clarify the op advising the words 'dishonest seller', I was never a seller OP wanted to buy........
More words of wisdom from the OP

Had photos he looks fantastic...Just what I am looking for...he is very much like my boy actually!! will attach some photos of XXX, all sounds great...so will he be on loan or could I buy him for a small token fee? Think you have covered everything in that email...he sounds fab! no worries about saddle...I have teds, should fit or else I will buy him another and get him fitted
will give you a call later!

Thats great, ahh bless him he is soo sweet ! yes him and XXX are similar...xx Pounds is absolutely fine.
do you know what size saddle roughly that fits him?
Can't wait til sunday now!! I will meet you in Usk and you can follow me to the field.
does he mind being in a stable then? is he quite chilled out?
What I was thinking was to get him insured and if he needs a vet - we can start from scratch..and can claim on insurance for whatever he needs. how often is he shod?
am so happy I have found a lovely horse...he will be spoilt rotten!!

Sadly i have seen these type of emails so often when loan horses go missing, but as she paid a token amount it does belong to her, and she can do as she wants, if you loan a horse NEVER accept a penny not even to cover petrol, rugs etc., it can be seen as paying for the horse, state in the contract MUST NEVER SELL WITHOUT WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE OWNER, associate yourself with passport on NED Online and make sure the horse is microchipped and freezemarked
 
hi i have sat and read through this whole post as i'm not often in here and as others have said i didn't cotton on straight away :o

am i right in thinking this is not the 1st discusion of this kind regarding this person perhaps under a different name in the past ?

i do agree slightly with what some have said that once you have sold a horse he/she is then no longer anything to do with you and you no longer have any rights unfortunatly
however having just read the OPs further responses i think you have been totally taken for a ride

people like you (tedsmum) are known as skumbags from were i come from ,sounds to me like me&tb cared very much about what happened to her horse and didn't actually want to sell him for fear of something like this happening and you convinced her to sell him to you using whatever means you could

you must know at least to what area he went to or if you sold him to a dealer or sale or even did sell him for meat
this horse was not just "livestock" to her ,tell her were he is

me&theboys if you can try to make a facebook page with his details on and post it on a seperate thread in here as there are far more people use fb than come in here and im sure everyone else on here will let all there friends know
i hope you find out what happened to him
 
At the end of the day, if TM had nothing to hide then she could be more honest about what happened to the horse. Its far too vague.

But if anything "good" comes out of it, by highlighting and this and posting ALL the facts, it will mean that some other people on this forum will not get taken in. We can all be wise after the event but I do really feel for Meandtheboys... was she silly to get taken in? yes, would I have swallowed the same tale? yes.
 
Regardless of whether TM came by this horse by fair means or foul it seems pretty clear that MATB is worried and distressed. So I think that if TM know's what happened to MATB's former horse she should tell her,
 
Oh, Jessicabeau is banned. Funnily enough, her and Ted'sMum are one of a kind. But Jessicabeau wouls always wax lyrical about how she would never send a horse for meat, and about how much she loved her horse and it was for life, and about all the fluffy things in life. Until she used to forget herself sometimes and lapse back into the normal swing of things. Unfortunately, it would seem this split personality has problems remembering what she has written in the past, and when it comes back up and bites her, she just gets gobby and denies all knowledge.

To the few on here that may be inclined to believe what she has written, don't.
 
Yes, she has been banned after a rather heated affair in soapbox. It would seem that she was defending her rape hypothisis again. Unfortunately, her being banned has now hidden her from the public eye yet again, and as she seems to be pretty proud of what she does, it was a good way of keeping tabs on her behaviour.

Glad I stay out of soapbox lol.

I missed all that while I was doing a bit of sleuthing off the net - it's amazing what you can find with just a bit of looking!
 
Sorry for bringing this post up again, but what is her motivation for posting at all? Surely she would be better to remain anonymous and carry on her foul little business on the quiet? I mean, its easy enough for her to change her forum ID, or am I presuming that everyone (bar me) knows who she is in the real world. Anyway why does she post do you think?
 
Coming late to this thread, but I'd agree with the OP here. A friend of mine gave her show hunter mare away as a companion 2 years ago, to someone who promised they'd give her a home for life. The mare had suffered a catastrophic injury to a hind leg, and the vet said she was never to be ridden again. Now, 2 years on, the mare has been sold 5 times, last time by a dealer for £2500, and is being ridden by her current owner, who keeps calling my friend to ask about her as they're the last registered owners on the passport.

Was talking to my friend tonight, and she said she now wishes she'd had her PTS at the time, because she feels so bad about how the poor girl's life has ended up.

So has your friend told the latest owner that the horse should NOT be ridden? If so perhaps this owner will take notice and retire the horse or allow your friend to take her back.

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.
