Nope, she really does exist.

But Munchkin, have you actually met the OP? Anyone could put videos up on Youtube, the last straw was the post stating that they drove for 3 miles with the ramp down - it is just not possible to miss the racket this would make, together with the horse going bananas not to mention the state the ramp would be in at the end of it.

Unless someone can tell me they actually know this OP, I am sorry I just cannot believe they are for real.

There's a vlog by her on YouTube - have a look. I agree this doesn't necessarily mean she's being truthful in her posts, but I don't think she's pretending to be someone else. Just a serial attention seeker.

Oh she may well exist, I really don't believe her postings though, you hit the nail on the head with the attention seeking comment :D
 
Somebody mentioned on here that she's a 14 yr old girl so somebody must know her.
I think people on here are harsh, if she is a 14 yr old girl some off you lot will off really upset her and there is no need for that. Unless you know her you haven't a clue if she would cope/back up she has etc but I would suggest she waits until she's alot older to get involved with rescues. I started by helping out at a local rescue center until I started taking a few in myself which would be a good idea for her to start and learn what's involved and the heart break that can go into it but also the nappyness when things go right.
 
I'm sorry OP, don't try and get a rescue.

I'm always a bit wary that you are able to start posts which are bound to inflame and upset? Or perhaps I'm being a bit harsh? (Even 14 year olds are good at the art of wind ups, no?)
 
Just for Boogles

LOL @ that video.

I saw a very sad video from OP, pictures of herself with the title sorry I'm ugly (or something along those lines)

OP clearly needs some kind of guidance and some positive role models around her, one wonders what her parents have taught her, if she thinks she is ugly (she is not)

Either way this thread is not a waste as people have said, someone might see this and be put off and or be inspired!

OP I hope you aren't doing this for attention, it would be very sad if so - mainly because you should be out there enjoying yourself with friends and family, not trying to get a rise out of us.
 
Hi all , sorry havent really read all the post but was wondering if someone might give me some guidence? I am pretty experierence (obvioulsy you never know everything) but I would be able to take a risk with a slaughter horse possibly and was just wondering where you find these slaughter places and who I would contact. Dont all stress out :) heheh(I have seen some of the other posts hehehehe I have been training horses for many years and have the time and money (welll not millions but enough) to bring a troubled horse on (heavens knows I have brought on some 'trying to kill me' horses in my time successfully and also unsuccessfully (some seriously just cant be saved)).

Would really appreciate it if someone has a contact for a slaughter house or another rescue place that sells the horses (sorry I really want to OWN my horse dont like the idea of not being able to make the best choices for my horse) I dont plan on selling on or making money, just like to have the final say in my horses happiness.
 
Firstly, it's a shame you had to bring this post up. Starting your own thread would have been far kinder to the poor OP, who will now have the row started over again by those who don't bother to read and realise the thread is ancient. However, ,it's done now:(

Secondly, if you've had troubled horses in the past why don't you go to where you got them from? As for slaughterhouses there are two IIRC Turners and Potters.
 
Sorry, didnt realise it was so sensitive got to page 3 and then it went into some kind of attack on a kid... I will remove my post.. if I can. I am not from the UK orginially hence the reason I am looking for places to get a horse from. I was always re training peoples horses that were sold to them by people that didnt care that they were unsuited.

Anyway thanks for your help! really appreciate it and wont add anymore posts on this forum sooooorrrrrryyyyy;)
 
strike, no-ones saying dont post on the forum!

Its just much easier all round if you start a new thread and dont add onto very old ones that are best left where they are :)

Firstly I suggest you expect it not to go well (that way if it doesn't you wont be suprised)
Secondly I would have a lot of money to one side, unexpected vet problems can be the norm with badly kept/treated horses
Thirdly get a heart of stone, a lot of the time they can't be "saved"

Thats what I know from watching people like JM with her budget ponies, sometimes it goes well sometimes it doesn't and she is very knowledgeable. We've all seen her poorly ponies and the states she had them in and read the posts where they've had to be put down...

Don't do it to be a hero - as its going to be one hell of a kick in the guts when it goes wrong.

I heart you :D
 
Rehoming from a legitimate charity might not give the same hero glow, but it frees up space for more needy cases. It is a good thing to do. I know some really lovely horses in need of new homes, and while they wait, new rescue cases have to be turned away.
 
Mine may kill me before I fix it. My choice. Had we hit a car when he went down the middle of the road in gallop the people in the car he would have killed would not have had a choice. U need to be very careful and very aware of the possibilities. My boy is confined to enclosed spaces until he's more reliable.
