I often wonder what happened to Tik Tock, the young horse filmed being repeatedly smacked by Kate Thorton.
Also there was a dressage horse passed on for no or little money as, I think, there were soundness issues? Then was advertised for about 25k not long after ��
*forgot the rearing chestnut pentathlon horse from 2012 who was being sold?

Tic Tock is safe back with his breeder, they are on here so may reply but the last I heard was that he had been traumatised so badly he was not going to be ridden and would spend his life out in the fields.
Most regular posters do come back with an ending, many first time posters respond for a while, it is the infrequent posters who tend to come on asking for help, get loads of advice then fail to respond that spoil the forum, there are loads of threads that get started with a dramatic plea for help that go on for pages with no more from the OP, I post less than I used to because so often it seems like a waste of time and I think it is part of the reason so many of the old members stopped coming on.

I think its always worth responding to threads. I read many others and the information helps me so I am always grateful to posters who offer any sort of advice

i think posting is always interesting because we all learn something from it what ever the scenario , but it is frustrating not knowing the outcome, then again perhaps people do appreciate the help and just don`t think everyone is waiting to hear if they are ok

I'd love to know how Baydale and her 3 bays (?) are getting on. I also miss posts from Kerilli, Firewell and Hot to Trot in competition and training part of the forum.
I'd love to know what it was the ffionwinnie sold that the new owners sold on that she couldn't take back and on another thread of hers why it was important to know how a car speedo was laid out. We also haven't had a daisy update in a while.
There was a lady who had bought a big horse for her husband, they were both novices iirc and the horse sounded pretty lethal.
There's also the poster whose livery client bought a horse from the breeder and only saw it move in the field and when it got home it seemed to have possible neuro problems.
More recently is the horse being pts on behavioural grounds after contacting several previous owners who also confirmed the horse had been problematic.
The horse who someone took hunting and it blew it's mind. Horse was supposed to be a keeper when they usually had projects but was now very nervy/unpredictable. Sure I saw the horse advertised (honestly) on fb not long ago.
I try and go back and update threads I post where I can, usually they're not exactly exciting posts though!

The ones that intrigue me are the individuals who post a load of lies, get found out and then disappear. I always wonder what they go on to do next and what it was that led them to do it in the first place. It seems that this forum has had a fair few such individuals over the years.

I can sympathise with that one. I had a traumatic situation I posted about around Christmas regarding having my aunt's two horses PTS (she'd had some medical issues, had just been diagnosed with mild dementia and put into assisted living, wouldn't let the horses be PTS even though it desperately needed to be done). It was eventually resolved and the deed was done, but as much as I felt I should update the forum, I couldn't bring myself to write about it. I didn't want to revisit the situation and try to explain any further complexities. In fact, I ended up having a little self imposed break from here for a little while.
I'm curious about how things have worked out for people too, but where the situation could be very emotional (like PTS), it's worth remembering how hard that can be to write about. Speaking for myself, it wasn't at all that I was ungrateful for or unaware of the support I received here. It was just all a bit much to go over again.

I remember you posting about this -I thought it was dreadfully sad at the time and I can understand how tough it is to update everyone. I often find I have tears in my eyes (or worse mascara down my face) reading posts where people are asking for advice about PTS, even if it is the best solution.
Its the medical ones where I wish people would update. My horse is a walking disaster and I often use the search function on here and find posts that are relevant - but they don't always 'finish' so I'm left wondering whether something was successful or not!

I don't know - I had a long thread running in the vet section about my horse's hock arthritis procedure. I recently updated it with the latest and posted an update in here as I thought people might be interested with it being quite a common problem, however only 1 person commented on my update in vet section and nobody in here so perhaps it had just run its course and I should have left it as it was. Perhaps people do get bored with old threads popping up again and think "can't be bothered to read all that again!".

There was a lady who's sister got a job as a working pupil. Ally? At the time they couldn't say who she was working for. Would love to know how she got on, had 3 horses I think? One called Smokey and possibly Rex?

What happened to the posts from the guy who had a Spanish horse? A grey. Ridden by a woman. Video updates of it being ridden in an outdoor sand school somewhere abroad. Lots of comments about it being unsound.

Was Kerelli the one with Dotty and the series of lovely youngsters that she backed? If so, I came across her on Instagram recently so that was nice! If I've got her username wrong then whoops! Hopefully someone remembers who I mean.
I'm also still intrigued about those two mysterious things from FfionWinnie!
I miss TarrSteps. Her posts were always so knowledgeable and helpful.
(all of this probably sounds a bit creepy. I don't post very much so although I feel like I know lots of the regulars on here, no-one really has any idea about who I am!)

Oh I liked her posts. Dottie was a knab I think and she had a TB called Kings? If I recall she always did matchy matchy rather well, something I've never done but do like to see.you're thinking of vickijay

Armas the poster got banned for posting a nasty video ridiculing a person with Tourettes. He later posted about Armas the horse on the FB PSD rehab page which I was a member of. The horse always did look 'off', didn't he? The owner was rushing the essential slow post injury rehab work, and was shot down by many who told him he was going too quickly.

I have Baydale on fb, she has none of the bays, but still her homebred chestnut chap.
I'd love to know what FW bought back too, that was intriguing..

I know what you mean, I very rarely start threads but when I have I feel a bit awkward dragging them back up again when everyone has moved on.
I've also felt a similar way to LadySam. I posted about feeding my haflinger mare when she had a health problem, I was given very helpful advice which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, things did go wrong for her very rapidly and she was pts, I just couldn't bring myself to update and describe what happened.
I too have often wondered about the lady who bought the big Irish draught who sounded lethal.

Kerilli is good, one of my good friends bought her horse of a lifetime from her and keeps it at livery with her. I was there a few weeks back. Shes very active on Facebook.
Shes good as well. Another one I have on Facebook. She cooks a lot of very delicious sounding food!

The lady with Delilah had to retire her due to injury. She put her in foal and she now has an absolutely beautiful 3 year old gelding from her.
D did come sound for a time but it wasn't to be.

Alf does not agree that she does matchy matchy well. He thinks she got it very wrong when she came over and dressed him up! She's got Dottie and Belle (Dotties half sister) and is on very good form.

Thanks for the update in regards to Delilah and the French chap!
Now just to find out what happened to the little dog, I'm really hoping he turned up - weeks later and with a tale to tell!

There was one I wonder about. The details are a little hazy now, it was a looong time ago!
Thread was in the clubhouse and I think op was a young girl. Her mum was very unexpectedly ill, seriously ill in ICU and they had no idea why.
It was a really sad hard hitting read and I kept up with it for sometime but unsure what happened.

I think that was RTE's little dog and sadly I don't think she was ever found. But I hope that she was and I missed the post.
