does anyone know where my friend stands?

When my said friend (will call her bex for now as wishes to remain annoymus) was 11 her instructer took her to a horse auction where she saw a skinny dales pony going for meat and he captured her heart. this pony came into ring whilst her instructer had popped out and "bex" couldn't resist biding she brought this pony for £30 when her instructor came back he agreed that he would sign for him as seh was to young. When they returned back to yard it was agreed that the 'bex's' farther would become the legal owner. this girl was smitten in love and spent every day with this horse whom she names toby. she earnt his trust and transformed him for a nervous skinny pony scared of people to a fantastic all rounder. By the time bex was 14 she'd qualified for royal london showing and was jumping 4foot 9 (toby was only 14hh) however her farther who she only spent one week a month with had become more and more aggresive and toby was her time when she could feel safe. then one weekend when i was at her fathers a row started and he burnt all her trophies etc infront of bex and a fight started and bex was hosptalised for 6days. when i came out of hospital she discovered that her farther had sold toby for £10,000 she was heartbroken, her best friend sold her farther was legal has toby was owned by him (according to passport) a court hearing happened because of injures bex had recieved and during the court her farther gave her £30 and said that was for the horse.
The money not the issue but bex wondered is she entitled to anything (like number of new owners) as she did all work with toby?

Does anyone know anything?

Sorry, I just thought I would question...if the 14 year old daughter was hospitalised as a result of a fight with her father...where was the police in all of this? ETS: just read there was a court hearing...what was the result?

And....a 14hh dales pony selling for £10k?????

People on the pony jumping circuit would have heard of this beast, surely? :rolleyes:
 
You could lok on Ned for details of the pony, but if this is true then your father was the legel owner, so no comeback.
I also quiery the details of this story.

they are amazing i used to have a dales and he was the best horse i'd ever rode, only 13.3h and would jump 4foot 6-9, they are soo comfy its likke riding in an armchair and their loyalty is unbelievable, you could do anything to him and he'd stand there (i even did limbo on him) if you ever get chance to ride one do it :)

You and your friend both seemed to own exceptionally gifted Dales ponies.
 
Nothing to add other than to back up cobby 14hh ponies...

I was unaware that there was any age limit on people owning horses. There would be no reason for the horse to be owned by anyone but the girl who handed the money over. The restrictions with regard to age are in place to protect children, as in they cannot be held to a financial contract, such as a hire purchase agreement, this has nothing to do with rights of ownership.

Well she would have been to young to buy at auction.

And there was some reason that my name is on all of our horses passports even my daughters ponies, i must have been told by someone she was to young to be named as owner.
 
Hummm, if only I knew 11 year olds could bid at an auction.......I would have bought a pony when I was pony mad but pony less :rolleyes: ;) :rolleyes:
