Boris is now in for the winter with his buddies, tucked up in their massive barns in their herds with plenty of food :)

Thanks for everyone's support over this whole ordeal, hopefully things will be going to the next level soon ;)
 
Ive just read this from start to finish. I am now an emotional wreck and have so much respect for you Mrs B!

I really hope these individuals get whats coming to them...
 
Quite unbelieveably, I've received some threatening emails from someone who shall remain anonymous until the time is right. Amongst other things, they said they felt sorry for Boris and that I should be ashamed for sending him to the blood bank and said he was now a 'pin cushion' :mad:

This short-sighted cretin doesn't know what I went through for that horse, and I know exactly what they would have done, had Boris had been in their unfortunate hands.

Words fail me... :mad::mad::mad:
 
I do hear alot of people voicing those opinions, and how cruel the blood banks are, personally i think they are stupid and a waste of time!
So what happens when their horse needs a blood transfusion......................................
 
The blood bank is primarily a research facility - it uses the blood taken from the horses for use in petri dishes, to grow cultures/bacteria etc. in hospitals, GP surgeries, drug research and a whole heap of other things, it's not just for horses.

This is why when people say such stupid, idiotic uneducated remarks such as this, little do they know that the next time they go to the doctors (shame they can't dish out common sense ;)) for whatever treatment, it's highly likely that whatever medication they receive, it will have seen horse blood at some point or another in order to be tested.

So the blood bank helps humans and other animals too and the care that the horses receive is exceptional, or Boris would not have gone there. Simple.
 
Blood bank is an amazing place and I wouldn't hesitate to send a horse there if necessary. They have a good life helping others.
Obviously someone without a back bone if they feel the need to threaten privately x
 
Thats awful Mrs B. I havent read the whole thread but skipped through but sounds like you did the right thing. He now has a purpose instead of just being pts or sold on through loads of different owners. Certainly something I would consider if it ever came to it. Hope boris is well and you get to see him :)
 
I'm not normally a 'name and shame' person but after everything you went through with Boris I'd be bleddy fuming and tell the world.

Some people are just born stupid and nothing will ever change that...
 
Sorry to read this has all been stirred up again although in a different direction

I found this thread a few months ago and read right through it, I was looking to buy my first horse at the time and I learnt so much from what you had been through, I did think at the time the dealers who sold you boris wil regret the day they did it, I also follow your FB page. (I did buy from a dealer in the end and they were lovely, honest and supportive)

Don't be pulled down by some coward who has no idea of what you have achieved, that horse is damn lucky to have found you!

You are obviously a strong and capable person who has shown a great deal of backbone in taking on the bad sellers and I think you would find you have a lot more people respect your actions than criticise them! :)
 
is it through HHO you have received these emails or through FB? either way the sender is a pathetic coward:mad:
You and Epona stars are doing a great job of exposing the scum of the horse dealer world, obviously your success' will upset a few of them as they are going to feel the effects on their pockets but don't give up mrsB;) when they start resorting to threats and intimidation you know you have them on the run:)

I spoke to the blood bank agian the other day, they said I can visit - I just need to call and they'll meet me and try to point out Boris in amongst the 1000 acres and hundreds of other horses!!!

It really is an amazing place and literally horse heaven. I will put up some details regarding the blood bank on the Epona Stars page, so if you have a horse that could benefit from helping others, please get in touch!

And thanks again for so many of your lovely messages! :D

Thank you Mrs B. My best friends horse has gone there, to the one in Milton Keynes and is living the good life. He has also be joined by another horse from the same yard. It gets such a bad press and my friend has been attacked verbally on this site previously when her horse was sent there.

Thanks so much for this post and to all the other positive comments received, it really is fantastic to know that people have taken something away from this to help find their horse :D And can you PM me the dealer as I'm looking to compile a 'good dealer' list - thank you ;)
 
I have learnt so much from this thread OP so glad you posted.

You did the best for your boy.

Before this I had never even heard of a blood bank, after doing some research I wouldn't hesitate to send any of mind there.

People can be nasty, keep your chin up and feel proud you have given Boris a chance.

They messaged me though Eponastars@hotmail.co.uk because they were blocked from messaging via FB. I can't believe how foolish they are because I'm a witness and they're threatening and trying to intimidate me. Never mind, the Police have all the info now ;)

Their underhand tactics are really something else too, alternative FB user accounts in order to gain personal information on me (which has been successful to some degree), using members of their family to try and get on Epona's page, personal insults and abuse being made on other FB pages... it's all quite ridiculous when you'd actually think they'd keep their heads down and try and stay out of trouble.

Still, I guess some people just can't help themselves ;)
