Help- I need to get my horses back from rescue centre!

loverly said:
Why should I publish my own name when the poster has not posted her own, the rescue centre's name or cptrayes you have not posted yours?

I have first hand experience of trying this horse to buy off the OP before she sent them away to the "rescue centre" and she quite conviently did not tell me about the horse having issues, being a previous stallion, his age or that he should only be lightly ridden - I was told he would be a good hunting horse!

I am not saying what the "rescue centre" has done is correct by any means - I have no experience of it.

Everyone has the right to there own opinion on this forum and then to voice it - hence why it's a forum!

Sorry I think you should explain by what you mean by condition when the were with me? I think you will find I was perfectly honest when wishing to LOAN him I never had him for sale? It was not until a couple weeks before he left that he was diagnosed as unsound and other past owners came to light and gave me further information, and are you the amateur girl who came to ride him with your mother?

It is her intials and last name but not say what he full name is?

I am not getting into an argument on here.. cptrayes asked for me to back my comment and I have and I'm leaving it at that.

Oh for goodness sake how long do you think it would take you to trace me when you know both my initials and my surname!?!?!?! It's hardly the commonest name in the world is it, TRAYES?????

I think your pettiness is showing in this post of yours and makes me even less inclined to take the slightest notice of your posts on this thread.
 
No - I'm a happily married lady! I came to loan with view to buy

I could seriously careless cptrayes on your pettiness of wanting to know my name, back my comment up etc..

I am glad you have your two horses back OP and out of the situation they were in
 
OP I have been reading through this tonight and I am so happy to hear you have your horses back. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I can guarantee that those of us with horses have made a mistake someone where along the line, no matter how small or how big. No one is perfect. Trust can be very much misplaced and it sounds as though yours was. Again, hindsight but we can easily be fooled by kind words and someone who comes across as someone they are not. I loaned out my mare the winter before last. Like you circumstances meant I had to do something and one of them had to go for the short term. I chose the mare because I did not ride her myself, she seemed genuine and was more suited to the home she was going to than my other horse. One horse was an unbroken youngster so he could not go and as I have no transport I could not split between yards over winter. My older and big horse has problems and is on permanent loan anyway so he could not be loaned out as it was against the agreement which I myself insisted was drawn up between me and the owner. I did try to find somewhere to go to take them all, or rent out my own place but it never happened. So off she went for 8 months to someone who was with someone that I knew and trusted. I did get a few updates and photos and did see that she seemed to have lost some weight but seeing as it was a harsh winter and she went somewhere that was more 'open' than where she was then I could have understood that.
What I was not prepared for was when I collected her back in May, she went from September to May as that was when the written contract I did ended. The person did want to buy her but I said no because it was always going to be a temporary arrangement. To ask me less than 3 months into the loan was not really on considering how far away she was for me check on and I don't drive.
She came back thin and then I also discovered lice and lots of them, yet she had been ridden the day before. The person who collected her with me was disgusted as was I. I did not cause a scene but wish now I had. I turned her around again and she was right as rain.
However it has taught me now to never let horses leave my side and if I ever have to face an issue I will insist they stay where the eye can see them.
No one knows what is around the corner no one. We all say we could never part with our horses and so on. But life can be cruel, very cruel indeed and with the best will in the world no one can say for sure what will and what won't happen. Fate is very much a part of our lives like it or not. I have learned not to be so trusting again though and I would imagine OP you have done the same.
I would not shoot you down for what you did. We all handle things differently.
At the end of the day the horses are back with you and safe now. But I do hope and pray that you do something about the place you have mentioned. I don't want you to say so on here as this thread can be publicly viewed. However from what I have been reading I think this place is in need of serious investigation if it isn't already.
Good luck OP with your horses x
 
I also enquired about the coloured as I lost the bid at our local sales and tried to follow him. Jhoward on here helped me get in contact with the owner and she was 100% honest with me. It wasn't that long ago that he was found out to be a working stallion in fact that came to light when he was up free to good home where I was hoping I could off finely offered him a perm home. So chances are she didn't know at the time u spoke to her

Your A very good liar Jemma! Before you start slagging me off on here I would like to know what you meant by condition when they were with me? If you think I am going to take into account the opinion of a silly little girl, pretending to be married! Your about 17! And your mother drove you to see my horse! You had only been riding for about 3 years! So please inform me ....what condition were my horses in? And don't pretend your not you,mi have just seen your post about your "blog" and seen your photo! Idiot!
 
Goodluck to you OP.

the more people that know about these places the more the horse community can warn people to avoid them
time to name and shame now perhaps?

You tell me? I came back on here to thank people for their support and to inform them of their good news, if I'm such a bad horse owner would I be payg £600 to return my horses to retire them! I think not? Just a shame some people have to stick their big noses in! My coloured boy has the most insane history I think I could write a book! I have traced at least 15 owners it's frightening, but if I can give him his final home where he can graze and be happy then that's all I want to achieve! X

No thanks for you kind donation I see!!
 
Sgscoolchick as you have your horses back, can I name the place please? Don't want to hijack your thread as it will get pulled with place named but if it warns a few people off the place it will be a job well done

How come coloured was advertised previously as good to hack if he bolts? Surely this would is an untrue statement?

I think that was all discussed early in the thread? Not sure it has any relevence now tbh.

The fact is, the OP made a big mistake handing her horses over to what sounds like yet another dodgy "rescue" centre. Now she has them back, and I'm glad for her and hope they enjoy a well-deserved peaceful retirement.

Well done OP.

That's already been covered back in this and another thread...

If the horses have a secure retirement from now on I don't really see the relevance to be fair...

sgcoolchick, I think you are amazing and well done for getting your horses back.

Just remember that most of the moaners on here would have just got rid of horses and taken no responsibility for their future - that to be honest is what the majority of people do. In fact, the more wrong it goes the less likely they are to talk about it, they take the Ostrich view.

So I for one really applaud you. Yep, we all get it wrong sometimes, but it is the courageous ones who admit it and do what they can to put it right. The moaners, just come on here and find joy in putting up unuseful comments, rather then spending their time doing positive comments, so sgcoolchick, just let them get on with their miserable moany lives and give yourself a huge pat on the back.

Congrats again.
 
hmm, yeh £600 for livery, but make sure they know that, please don't condone what they're doing by paying for them to do the same to someone elses horse...
