Hi! Bit of a dilemna here! This person who has since left our yard was having probs with her gelding, basically the uncharitable other livery owners thought that the probs she was having with her ned, (who is luvverly btw), were because she couldn't ride him! So off he went to Liphook where he was pronounced fit and well, she disputed their findings and sought a 2nd opinion, who also said that he was fine, meanwhile her husband contacted Liphook Equine Clinic who declared that 1 of the nurses had ridden him and that his probs were because he wasn't being ridden properly by her! Well he was off the yard in a flash, she claimed that she had contacted the ILPH because in her words "he's unrideable", (yeh,he is by her!), and then claimed that the ILPH had said that she should shoot him as they don't approove of horses being kept as "pets"! Which certainly shocked everyone who heard that, sadly the truth is an alien concept to this woman, so dos anyone know if this is ILPH policy? I hope not as I have done a lot of fund-raising for them in the past, on enquiry the person I spoke to said each case is judged on it's merits, so not a definitive answer there, i personally think that she was having a "pot-shot" at 2 liveries on our yard who in her words "didn't do any thing with their neds",ie don't really ride them but look after them very well, hmm ILPH is looking a bit tarnished in my eyes if this is true, horse was 7 years old and well bred btw + good to do. Anyone any thoughts? Sorry for rant!!
