If you found out your yard was sedating your horse..

[Gingerwitch]

What would you do if you discovered by pure chance that your horse was being given sedaline on a regular basis without your knowledge ?

Simple have a hissy fit and leave

I'm not sure I could print what I thought

What would you do if you discovered by pure chance that your horse was being given sedaline on a regular basis without your knowledge ?

I would be very very angry.

Is this prescribed for the horse by a vet for an issue?
If not, why is it being given?
Were you told or did you find out?

To add, I would be contacting the supplying vet & asking them WHY xyz horse was having this administered?
YO (or whoever is applying this) can find themselves in big do-do!

Hit the roof!!!! what reason do they have for this, if on box rest they should still ok it with you and the vet who should not be handing it over without reason, if to just keep him quiet I would question the management and then leave.

 

[Greylegs]

OMG!! .... WHAT!!!! ... I'd go completely ballistic! Is this your horse? Why are they doing this?

 

[Spotsrock]

Move
Then sue

 

[jeeve]

Why are they doing it?

But no I would not be happy - if it was say for dentist, or possibly a vet treatment - maybe. You should still have been asked/told. But just to make their life easier? Absolutely not.

 

[stormox]

why on earth would any yard owner do that? unless you had asked them to clip your horse, it wouldn't stand and you weren't there, or some such scenario....

 

[Tiddlypom]

I hope that is a hypothetical situation, OP. Please don't say that this is happening for real .

 

[MerrySherryRider]

I'd take legal advice. And move my horse the same day.

Sedaline paste - not prescibed by any vet for your horse - 2 to 3 clicks to keep him/her quiet whilst being turned out - pure chance it was discovered.

 

[babymare]

I havent read repilies but personally I would hit orbit . totally 100%. So now i will read other posts 0

 

[Copperpot]

I would go crazy and move my horse instantly. And make sure everyone knew why!

 

[madmav]

I would be thinking Harold Shipman was running the yard. Why would they do that? Is this a real-life case? Call in authorities, if so. Hopefully, it's not.

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

I would go absolutely, completely and utterly batshit crazy....!!!!!!!!!!!
Leave and sue..!!!!!!

 

[Gingerwitch]

oh yes - its for real

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Sedaline paste - not prescibed by any vet for your horse - 2 to 3 clicks to keep him/her quiet whilst being turned out - pure chance it was discovered.

Talk to the supplying vet, tomorrow.

 

[Red-1]

I would be gone tomorrow, if nothing else just because I was not asked or consulted!

 

[be positive]

So basically they are not able to manage the horse properly without resorting to sedation, move to a professional yard where they can manage him.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I would also find a new yard.

 

[joeanne]

I would go absolutely, completely and utterly batshit crazy....!!!!!!!!!!!
Leave and sue..!!!!!!

Absolutely 100% that!!

 

[cptrayes]

How could they afford it, sedalin isn't cheap???

If go ballistic if it can be proved and possibly report the yard owner for illegal use of a prescription drug.

 

[ihatework]

Leaving the extremely unethical aspect aside, that must be costing the YO quite a lot of money surely?!

 

[budley95]

Talk to vet, move and legal action. So sorry this is happening to you.

 

[AmyMay]

What reason have they given op?

 

[babymare]

Ok gingerwitch im trying to be calm here.. They are giving youtr horse an unprescribed drug daily. FFS move . what hell else are they doing. Personally people would be holding me off yard manager/owner and before anyone says thats regardless of horse issues. Dear god unprescribed drugs !!!

 

[Honey08]

They'd have to be off their heads to do that.

 

[Gingerwitch]

They don't go out everyday.... , so when they do go out they get sedated... you also then get charged for extra's like shavings, physio, being bathed, supplyments etc - but you never notice a deeper bed, or the supplyments have just run out when you go in the feed room
