please can anyone assist?
i gave a rescue centre two of my horses back in january, the rescue centre claimed to rehabilibtate and retire horses, i was pleased with the yard and agreed to deliver them- a retired tb, and a coloured with some issues which meant he was to retire / or can do some gentle hacking. it has come to light that theand tb is fine, however the coloured boy is being ridden by a novice who is the posting videos of himself jumping him (this horse is almost 18) and i wanted a quiet retirement home, he is also unsound on his left shoulder and my vet previously advised no jumping and only light schooling. this novice very large man is now jumping him and photos and videos of him being bounced on and his mouth being jerked around have appeared. to say im disgusted is an understatement. someone who lives close to the centre has informed me he is going in the school almost every day and they have never even hacked him out, so in reality my boy is being used to teach novices to jump rather than being ridden gently! other things have also happened which i do not at this point want to bring to peoples attention but believe me they will be once this situation is sorted! the rescue centre owner said i could visit my horses and ride my coloured boy whenever i was free to pop down- she is now saying he has a bad back and lots of other things so he can only be ridden by one certain rider (supposedly the sack of potatoes i have seen in the photos) who has been taught by the back specialist to ride him in a "certain" way- what a load of tosh! even more so what an insult saying i cant ride him yet the sack of potatoes can?! im furious! she has now also blocked me from seeing any activity on her facebook. now tell me if i am in the wrong, but if she has nothing to hide why would she refuse to let me ride him and why would she hide him from me on her facebook? i trusted this girl and it seems she is doing everything she can to prevent me from having any contact with a horse i adored and it was a hard choice to give him up along with his best friend the tb! so she has both their passports, but i never signed any form of document or signed them over to her, i have a reciept for the purchase of both the horses and the people i purchased them from will also vouch for this, and their proof of from when they owned them! now i need to know, how do i go about getting them back? please please help or advise me if you have had a similiar situation, im kicking myself and feel totally mislead and disgusted with how i have been treated! i will not turn a blind eye and i want my horses back in a safe home where they are not being messed around with!
sorry for rant! thanks for reading
