Please feel assured that I place no responsibility for this with the person acting on my behalf.The horse in question is a 3/4 brother to an intermediate horse that is highly thought of so I dont think that indiscriminate breeding is a factor merely an example of the collapse of the horse market in general ,just remember he was conceived well before this drop in values and he ended up being sold for a fraction of the investment I had made. It can happen to the best at times!

Popsdosh, thank you for keeping us all updated. I'm really happy that you've got your horse back and hopefully he'll soon recover. I hope you understand I was making a general point based on what had been previously posted and was trying not to speak specifically about your situation. It seems like a lot of people were taken in by these individuals and lets hope that as a result of this they get what they deserve. Thank goodness someone was quick to copy their awful video and it got brought to light so quickly.
 
Popdosh - so gald you have him back. He looks such a lovely horse I just cannot understand why someone would do that to him.

I have pointed this thread out to the girl who copied and posted the video on You Tube and told her the result of her actions. Maybe she will come on. :)
 
poor poor horse :(
so pleased he is back with his old owners ,there is no excuse for beating any horse like that let alone a baby that hadn't deserved it ,really hope those horrible people get what they deserve :(

if my current project horse had already gone to his new home i'd have had him in a flash but i said i'd keep him till spring :( really hope he gets the home he deserves
 
O God popsdosh. You poor sod. What a stress.

Thank goodness for HHO. I'm so pleased to know he is back home. Wishing you, and him, all the best :)

Sadly you were making a point that I am totally in agreement with ,I will have nothing to do with indiscriminate breeding full stop.He deserves a good home and had no interest at what I thought was realistic so hoped by almost giving away to find a good home for him.
 
Hmm the other vid posted on the previous page seems to be VERY involved in all this as well.

Removing all traces of yourself just proves your guilt IMO. I be they are ALL cursing putting that video up.

Only way to stop people like this is for people NOT to do business with them no matter how attractive the price or horse.
 
Popsdosh- good decision swiftly executed, best outcome from a bad situation... And after this thread I wonder if a H and H'er won't find space for him...! He's a lovely looking lad, I wish you all the best sorting him out and finding a new home :)
 
So glad this story has a happy ending, thank goodness someone recognised the horse!

Dare I ask what happens now popdosh with tic toc? He looks a useful sort. Far too nice to be unwanted.

How odd that they clipped out his head and neck immediately after arrival.
 
Popsdosh, firstly, you are so brave to come on here and tell your story. I think all of us will support you 100%. Huge credit for going there and getting your horse back.

Secondly, we are all now fully aware nationwide who these people are and where they are, so think it will be very hard for them to keep trading even under a different name.

Please keep us all updated on Tick Tock's progress, think we have all fallen in love with him!

I am sure there are several HHO's that would have him in a jiffy and give him a fab home for life.

I am going to try and get my breath back and then decide were to go.I had a plan A which involved a well known character from H*H forums but was struggling to go that extra mile financially.However may need to think of this again as he would have every chance to fulfill his potential and whats money anyhow?With his breeding he is halfway there but an unfashionable height at 4yrs of age at nine with points I would be snowed under for him.
 
I am so relieved hes back home with you popdosh and im not surprised that video brought you to tears, he looks such a lovely wee guy and to much of a gentleman to boot the eejit that he ditched into next week.
He's a very lucky lad to be rescued from them.
A narrow escape for him, yaaaaay hes safe, this rescue's brought me to tears :)
 
I watched this video earlier when I was at work without sound and totally disgusted. I've just watched it again and that woman laughing made me feel physically sick, and the strike noises from the blokes whip. Poor horse :( glad he's back home again now though and hope he's not got any physical or mental issues as a result of these horrible people! I'll follow his updates with interest :)
 
Disgusting people. Hope they get what they deserve in life and come to a sticky end :mad:

So glad the horse has been recovered and will hopefully get over that ordeal with some careful and gentle handling. I dread to think how many others were treated in this way without videos reaching the Internet. I would like to think that the spread of this on the Internet has done enough serious damage to these people to stop them having anything more to do with horses. At the least, they will see just how many people in this country think their practices are a complete abhorrent disgrace and may decide it is not the way to behave in future!? (Probably highly unlikely as I doubt scum like this will ever change).
 
Not watched the video otherwise id want to whip there arses and more, I know K is a very good horse person and trust her views.
It makes you realise how we should bring in some sort of exam system/.owner exam to pass to be able to own a horse and let alone be a dealer.
Dreadful people out there makes me very angry.
 
I'm stunned that these people are still going under one of their many different guises. Absolutely disgusting. Popdosh I hope the horse has no lasting damage
 
Have just caught up with this, cant find the words to describe those horrible people.

Popsdosh so pleased that you have Tic Toc back, he looks such a lovely boy, hope he recovers quickly from this and they get their just desserts.
 
popsdosh, i am so very very glad that he is back with you, i can't tell you how relieved i am and i know i speak for hundreds (possibly lots more) who've seen the vid on Facebook and on here. thank you for the updates and for your actions.
absolutely not your fault nor the fault of former keepers who were hoodwinked. the important thing is that it only happened once and that as long as he is well treated from now on it'll soon be a distant memory. if he goes to who i think he's going to, that'll be a wonderful option for him and give him the best possible start. :) :) :)

galaxy, please please thank your friend who had the wit and knowledge to save that video, and the courage to repost it. please could you ask her how on earth she did it, it would be a useful skill to have, i suspect.

i hope these despicable people become notorious for this and that people will stay away and keep their horses away from them. as said above, why be involved with horses if you hate them and treat them so despicably?
i cannot begin to tell you how angry it makes me that people like this make money out of horses. sick. it's worse than puppy farming for exploitation, greed, and cruelty. i very sincerely hope the ONLY repercussions from this are bad ones on the perpetrators.
popsdosh, please let us know if you need any support in getting the RSPCA etc to take this seriously. a huge number of us were horrified by what we saw on that video and would gladly say so and explain why if necessary.
