How NOT to ride a young horse forward.

Love it - Bob Smith is the psuedonym of a muslim friend on facebook, so he can hide his drinking and other very non-muslim ways from his very strict family, I woudl hazard a guess its not the same one! :p
 
well done BobSmith, you are an utter STAR for making that vid public again. I am so glad they were oblivious enough to post it in the first place... not surprising considering that they could not even see what we were all so upset about.
So glad Tic Tok is safe now. I fear for their other horses though. :( :( :(
 
This could be a movie :)

Ive been shocked, angry, relieved, curious, happy and close to tears reading alot of it! Alot more than most of the films ive watched recently!

Nice one erm.. Bob smith :p ( I lol'd when I seen the name under the you tube vid, almost as funny as my German friend who chose John Black to make a very vauge english name :p) and quite right on hiding your identity, quite a humble thing to do imo too :) ( even if it was for safety reasons ;) )

Im so pleased tick tocs previous owner got him back so fast, id have been a screaming banshee wreck who may have required either being thrown in a mental hospital or jail after the confrontation - so good on you for holding it together for the sake of that lovely boy.

He really has became quite the super star now, I wonder if it would be possible to make a blog for him, or his own little page, so his by now thens of thousands of fans can see more of him and read his story ( I understand the owner wont for legal reasons ofc).

And nice work from the HHO and FB community for using the might of the internet to get somthing done. :) The internet can be a big scary place at times, but every now and again, a story like this one really stands out :)

And another WELL DONE :) But horrified to hear that these ghastly people have been known to harm horses belonging to people who speak up against them :eek::eek: Good luck to Tick Toc, I'm sure he will now find an excellent home.
 
Well the cretins from this video are trying to do some damage limitation it seems.
I'm in their area.....sort of...& a story has been put out locally that Tic Toc was considered dangerous & this was his last chance as he was about to be PTS. Supposedly the video has been edited (by somebody with an axe to grind) to only show this bad part & didn't show what Tic Toc was doing previously.
I did put the person who told me this straight & directed them to this thread....I just hope that not many people are taken in by the lies :(
 
glamourpuss, they started that rumour yesterday. the videos previous posted by the owner (in Oct '12) such as this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlQ7y7utR7I&feature=context-cha
prove that that was a total lie, as does the horse's body language in the video. I think that, and the laughter, is what incensed us all so much... the horse goes forward nicely a few times, or stops in confusion, and is hit again for no reason. I hope nobody believes their lies.
 
Kerilli, I totally agree with you. I think it's fairly obvious from the video that this is not a snippet of a schooling video but an example of pure abuse for their 'amusement'. However I am concerned that people will be taken in by their lies.
I just thought I'd also make posters aware how low these imbeciles are that they are still trying to defend their actions :(
 
I would like any of the doubters about his temperament to look at the three videos in my original post on this subject and tell me what leads you to believe that he is dangerous!!!!
The girl riding him is just 16 and still at school!! They are trying to cover there butts.
When the RSPCA turned up they told them that he was dangerous and needed sorting,I have since heard that they dont believe this either.I can say very little of what I know but the horse had been sedated as Kate told me so.It was done to clip his head and then they jumped on and carried out that assault.If that rider was on a racehorse they would have been banned for life!!!!
I dont like having to defend myself or the people who have looked after him so well but I will if I need to.I always find it highly suspicious when new members come on here and start preaching contrary to everybody else.I do know they are watching this thread as they are trying hard to get it removed.You will need to try harder Paul and maybe put some of the effort towards horse welfare instead!!!!
 
Popsdosh....please, please, PLEASE don't think for a moment that I'm doubting you!
I just thought I'd post the ridiculous rumours that have been started to try & cover up their disgusting actions. I'm sorry if you thought that I was implying I believed them.

Is this the horse that was the brother to Jimmy Shoo that the owner was trying to find a rider for?

Either way glad that all has ended well.

Spot on ! He had been advertised for some time without success.I dont really want to go over why he was sold other than to say ,I was hoping to give him a chance of reaching his potential as I am personally not able to at present . This I am reconsidering as I may have to just find the cash and let another go instead .
 
The worst thing about all of this is if the horse had not had such a nice clam nature they would not have been brave enough to do this to the lad ! typical bully's they pick on one's that they dont think will retaliate

so glad he is home.... and i am in Staffordshire if you want to drop him off :D

I dont for one moment think you believed them was more having a go at the transparency of posters with very low numbers of post having contrary views,and I was trying to just dispel the myths!

I wouldn't worry about people believing their lies popsdosh.

Glad Tick Tock is safe and well now.:)
 
Popsdosh I am just so happy that you have your lad home again & i really do take my hat off to you for acting as soon as you knew whst was going on.. It is about time the dealers responsible were prosecuted as they have gotten away with so much for far too long
 
Can't read and walk from this one, what utter scum, lets hope karma is real ... What do I need to do to help? Bobsmith is a legend. X

Apart from finding any further evidence of mistreatment from these people, everything has been done now.

It's a case of sitting and waiting now. Fingers crossed everyone! :)
 
Hooray for Bob Smith!! Bob,long may you continue to be a silent,YouTube-scouring,saviour of horses! :) Welcome home,lucky Tic Toc. Popsdosh, good luck with his future-hope you can find a solution that fits for you both and that your lucky escape is instrumental in helping to take these b*st*rds down..
And said B*st*rds....if you are reading this...there are many people here,and many more that they know, and even more that they know,who will not let you rest....
 
Interesting that these individuals are watching the thread ...GOOD i really hope you take a long hard look at yourselves and what youve been doing, im sorry but the previous videos show what a lovely little horse this is and showed you lot as nasty evil ar$eh0les, id like to say what i really think but dont want a ban.
 
Popsdosh if you are still looking for a home for him you will probably have your pick now so many concerned about him , i hope you are going to keep everyone up to date with how he is pictures etc :)
 
So glad you have your horse back, I sadly witnessed something very similar but sadly never thought of videoing it so I have no proof but I'm sure as time goes on something will be shown as proof enough people know about the individual in my area. Sadly they seem to be slot of them about :(

^ absolutely brilliant!

These 'dealers' (they shouldn't be worthy of such a title in my opinion) can say I edited the video, can say I have a personal grudge, can say the horse was at fault all they like... We all know they're wrong, and, for the record, I'm pretty sure somebody else managed to download the video.. so there is more than one copy!!!

I hope they get their comeuppance.
 
To the Spiderman tune of yesteryear...


Bob Smith Man, Bob Smith Man, does whatever a detective can, catches rouge dealer just like fly's, saves their videos - any size - look out - look out for BOB SMITH MAN

:D
