Because I never ever want to go through all this again :(
After circumstances changing and making the heartbreaking decision to have 2 horses pts its fast looking like thats the only option for number 3 as well. I'm out of time, out of money and I can't find anyone suitable for him, both me and more importantly him are sick to the back teeth of viewings and just when I start to think we are getting somewhere it all goes wrong (not helped by him and his frankly despicable behaviour)
Sorry no point to this really, just sat in tears with no one to vent at.
 
I remember when you were having to make that decision before. really felt for you. Sorry things have got bad again. Is this horse not a bit younger and maybe easier to put out on loan or even to sell?
 
He's quirky and now so fed up of muppets viewing him that he is throwing his toys out the pram the minute anyone but me rides him.
 
not been here long enough to know your problems with him, but would being a companion horse for someone be better option?
 
No Fii nothing from down your way. I did have one person come from down there but wierdly through a fb advert I put up a while ago. Thanks though. x
 
8 yrs welsh d x tb. 16'1 stunning and super talented would compete and do well BD or BSJA, pretty confident he would BE as well.
In somerset
 
I'll pass the word about asap. Would he be to move yards, long term loan, etc if you did find someone?
 
So sorry to hear this...if I was close enough i'd take him even short term to give you breathing space!
 
Hey hun. i am so sorry you are having trouble finding a home for your horse - do you want to email / pm me with a few details n pic n I'll see what I can do. What is your cut off time limit?

I do know some people down your way, but can try up Leicestershire way too.

Hugs xx
 
I know someone who is looking for a horse to loan, but she is based in East Sussex. If this is not too far for him to travel I'll point her in the direction of this thread.

Chin up- I know it seems dire, but it'll come right. You're doing/ did the right thing by all of them, hopefully things will pick up soon :(

As above, personally, I'd have mine pts in the morning if i couldnt afford to keep them, and nearly did, as I had no grass, cos they'd ploughed it to within an inch of it's life over the winter. I think I had a post on here about it, was thinking pts or err, but thankfully, my neighbour farmer, who has 3 horses himself, gave me free grazing for the summer, as I had looked after his horses while they went to new york, in the worst possible weather here. Silver cloud and all that. Now, I'm not saying pts is always the best option, but sometimes, it is!!!Depending on the age and ability, and I'm not saying old, the young ones that are not ridden are most likely in this country to end up in the wrong hands, PTS is def better than being abused. You should look up "Ireland Equine Crisis" on facebook, it'll open your eyes and make you believe that SOMETIMES pts is ok, compared to the other options!!!! REally hope you get sorted, I'd have your horse for you in a heartbeat, if i wasn't in a different country. Really hope things woek out for you!!
 
Sounds like my kinda horse - but a boy version! Have you asked your local PC? I am sure plenty of keen teenagers would die to have a horse as you discribed on loan?
I do know of a girl who is looking... will see if I can point her in your direction?

BTW... are you the Dorset side of Somerset or otherwise?
 
I know, pts was the way I went in august with the other two for the same reason. I am happy with that decision. I don't want this lad to go the same way but at the moment not sure what else I can do. I wouldnt sell him, this difficulty in finding a suitable loan has highlighted the fact that his quirks could easily land him being passed from dealer to dealer for the rest of his life. He doesnt deserve that, he's a talented loving young horse.

Nearer bristol. I've had a quite a few teenagers view. None right though, I think really unless an exceptional teenager and very competitive he isnt a teenagers horse.
 
sounds like a babe! sorry you have to make this decision... i'd love a welsh d... and i'm starting to come around to the idea of having a throughbred too... a welsh X tb could be a nice option! i have 50 acres and lots of love and patience... but i'm in ireland and also, not exactly zara phillips in the saddle. good luck i hope something comes through for you (and him).
