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

ThaNk you everyone who was positive and kind! I now have my boys back safe, once I mentioned I would pay a donation of £600 the "charity" soon changed their attitude even if they were ridiculously awkward! Boys looking a bit thin and need a bit of talc but both so very chilled back with me :) x a happy ending x

Great news. Are you going to do anything about reporting the 'charity' now?
 
Brilliant news! Hope that you have a wonderful retirement set up for them now on your farm (or parents - if I remember rightly??). Shame you had to donate so much! Anyway, alls well that ends well..
 
I'm happy you have got them back but £600! Are you mad? I wouldn't want to give that nasty tempered cow girl a bloody penny. Does she know the real reason u took them back? Hope she was mad well aware.
Oh I expect that £600 will go towards BUYING ponies again from the sales for the rescue center! And public to pay for.
Makes me bloody cross
 
Yes she should not have had to pay money to get her horses back.....but realistically and seeing how these things can pan out I don't think she has any choice.

And guys, until I came onto this forum and read the awful stories about loans etc....I too would have believed the best in other people and been just as gulible as the OP.
 
Thank you :) i just wanted them back and £600 was worth it, they are now going to retire gracefully with no novices or ignorant people messing around with them! They were so chilled the moment they got out the box! Not impressed how thin my old tb was looking, and his feet are well over due a trim. But at least now they will be safe and yes the bhs have been informed and looking into it! I'm on the iPad and can't work out how to attach a photo so will do it tomorrow :)

Well done, what great news :D

Like you, I paid to get a horse who was mistreated back and it was worth every penny. You will never regret it.
 
Just read through the entire thread, and I am so glad you got them back! It is terrible that you and the horses had to go through all that. At least now you know they are safe, and nobody is using them poorly.
 
Glad to hear you got them back!

i recently rescued a skinny TB too, although the girl did not receive any money from myself or the original owners.

it makes me extremely mad that you had to ply her with money to get your own horses back!

i hope a thorough investigation is carried out as there are too many people like this about now, its sickening. however, the RSPCA was not willing to carry out an investigation when we reported the girl as it wasnt worth the money theyd spend bringing a case against her (even though there were another 2 horses rescued from her at the same time in much worse condition than the horse i took care of).

i hope your 2 horses have a lovely long retirement! :)

OP - I know what has happened in this and am not siding either way with you or the non-profit organisation.

BUT what I will say is that you have missed out a lot of information about these two horses condition when they were with you.

I for one am not interested in your anonymous insinuations about the original poster.

The fact that an unsound horse was jumped by a heavy male rider when they knew he should not jump at all, that they excluded her from their Facebook page when she tried to query it, and that she paid £600 of her own money to get the return of two horses which already belonged to her is enough for me.

So please, either publish your own name and stand by your comments (and be careful, it is possible to be sued for libel for anonymous online postings) or shut up, will you?

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!
 
I think the OP has learnt a lesson here so it doesn't really matter what's happened in the past. So long as they do right by the horses now and give them a happy retirement where they belong.
