I'm never ever having horses again

I am another one who has lurked for a wee while. I just want to say V: my heart truly goes out to you. You come across as a wonderful, caring owner who is trying her hardest in the toughest of circumstances. I hope that a solution for your boy presents itself very shortly, and in the mean time you keep your chin up. Dont listen to the small-minded and malicious idiots on here who are not worth your attention.

Please know that there are alot of people on here who care, we may not know you, or your horse, or even the details of your situation...but there is a support network here. I have given a small amount of money through CAYLA'S adoptadog paypal- i truly hope you are not offended by the action. If a few of us help out on here even in a small way, perhaps together we can give you a month or two of breathing space - you never know it may be the extra month you need to find the perfect solution.

Take care, all the best.

Im really sorry that I cannot donate (dont have paypal/cheque etc) but I really hope that you find a solution.

I have lurked for a while and saw the problems you had last year and I believe that you are doing the best you can for your horse.

Hope it works out xxx

The support is welcome i'm sure:), esp after the hideous comments/comment:rolleyes: made.:)
She has only ever tried her best for all her horses.
 
I've also followed this threat quietly for a while, I'm usually a CR person, but I wander into NL every now and again!
I unfortunately cannot donate, but I cannot believe the kindess of everyone, the OP will be overwhelmed! I cannot even imagine what you are going through, but I support your decision. I really hope the donations will give you more time to find the perfect owners, of a horse I would love to have if I could afford it and didn't have uni.

Wish you all the best and hope everything gets sorted out.
 
'There but for the grace of god' as the saying goes.... I can't offer practical help, but have added to the donations, and hope that it buys some time and takes off the pressure. What a dark place you must be in Viz, I hope you can work something out and at least with the support of the HHO'ers it take some off the stress.
Cayla, I messed up the address details so it won't show on my donation so I'll PM you the details. :o

Exactly Crazydancer - Anyway, thanks to everyone who has made it possible for us all to do a random act of kindness :)

RDO - shame on you. And if you can't manage an apology at least, then I feel very sorry for you.......
 
Hi there,
have followed this thread with interest and hope i am never in Vislaks position. There but for the grace of God and all that. Have donated and hope that between us all we can give her some breathing space, if nothing else. Tizzy
 
Really feel for you, was in a similiar situation myself a very, very long time ago.
Have sent you a PM, as I know some fab people who are looking for 'quirky' (experienced mother and very competitive, tall, teenage daughter) who just can't afford 'ready made'. She has won all over the country, from first ridden to M&M whp, on ponies that make grown adults quake!
 
:o Oh Vizzy, hun. I'm so, so very sorry to here what's been going on, including some of the horrendous things that have been said by certain others.........:mad::mad:

Sadly I'm not in a position to be able to help financially. But I really, really hope to hear soon that you've found a positive solution to your difficulties.

Keeping you in my thoughts, hun.

GW and C what a good idea. I have thrown a fiver in the pot as I literally am brasic (will have to borrow from OH myself this month) but if things haven't resolved by next pay day I'll be able to do much better. Will PM you to see what the situation then is. I hope we haven't offended V as that is the last thing I would want :(
 
£20 donated, sorry its not loads but I have a huge vets bill staring at me for the last 2 months and I really should pay it! I have some stuff selling on Ebay so hopefully will be able to stick a bit more in the pot when its done :)

Good luck op xxxx
 
I hope that I never have to be in the position that Vizslak is in. I hope she ignores the likes of RDO, it is heartbreaking to have to put a horse down. I hope you find a suitable loan home for him soon, I would offer but as I'm currently at uni then will be job hunting up & down the country it wouldn't be fair on him :(

I've donated £10 through Cayla's paypal, hopefully buy a couple of bales of hay or bag of feed.
 
V, my heart goes out to you.
HHO has been wonderful to me this week, there are so many good people on here, have made a small contribution, hope things get much better for you soon x
 
Just a suggestion Vizlak.....but if you look on page 89 of this weeks H&H in the left hand column there is an oldenburg x tb horse for sale in Somerset. It is 9 years of age and advertised as quirky, needing competent rider etc.

In other words, it's in your area and about the same age as yours as well as having its own little foibles. Why not give the advertisers a bell and see if they would consider passing on your details/number to anyone who rings up but then declares that they aren't interested in that particular horse for whatever reason? It may get you some more people interested at no cost.....people who are already prepared to come to Somerset, who want a project horse and consider themselves competent riders.

Just a thought......
 
Cayla, I hope I haven't confused matters now! I have donated through your paypal account, but put 'For Vizzy' in the 'special instructions' field (if that makes sense :rolleyes:). I then made another donation (for Dogs Northeast) and put 'For Cayla' in the subject line. Just to confuse you a bit more. :D I hope that makes sense...
 
Wow is all I can say - I really cannot belive the kindness and generosity that has been shown by so many unknown people to someone who to me is also an unknown person.

Thank you all, each and everyone and I hope your kindness is repaid ten fold,

Vizslack - please please do not take offence at anything we have done, you just needed a helping hand like we all do at some point in time and I so so hope that you can have a breather and sort out a home for your boy

x
 
It's very good of people to donate.

I'm not sure I'd want to- would rather donate to looking after my own horses! OP- is he on cheap grass livery or still pretty expensive part livery? That would be my first cutting point, then I'd stick him up on project horses and give it one last bash finding him a ridden home.
 
Thanks GW and Cayla for being so practical. Have added my donation and it was a priviledge to add to the goodwill and help being sent out to V and her boy.
Whatever decisions you make, V, hoping you will have more time, circumstances can change, tomorrow maybe a better day.
 
I wish you the best of luck finding your horse a new home with someone who can take care of him.

I won't be sending any money. Nothing against you in particulary OP but I don't even know you nor know where the money is going. I really do hope the horse finds a home soon. Please keep us updated.
 
Erm...wow :o
Thank you so so much everyone, I'm pretty stunned and extremely greatful.
I have as Cayla said been out all day, firstly selling the old clapped out lorry (well cutting it in bits and selling the luton off it!) And then Fred had a viewing with someone who contacted me through here, who is very lovely and will be coming back this week to ride him (she met him and watched me ride today as wanted to give him a weekend off from all the different people he has had on him for the last few weeks and settle him back down a bit).
Truely stunned to come back home to this and can't believe quite how lovely you all are! He's going to be jolly lardy with all these funds for a bag of feed! ;) :D
Thank you all so much, I feel some relief this evening for the first time in a while.
I have paid his livery up to the end of may with the funds of the lorry box sale this afternoon and with the overwhelming amount you guys have put in I don't need to panic for next month if he hasnt found the right person. If he goes before the money is used I will donate to World Horse Welfare?
Thank you again, from me and Freddie, you are all so wonderful and I am really touched by your support. xxx
 
Oh and to those who have pmed with suggestions etc and havnt yet recieved a reply, I'm trying to work through them, thanks for taking the time to help out.

No he isnt on cheap grass livery, this was something I looked into months back but a) there is none within a distance that is not going to double my fuel bill, negating the saving and b) I need a school to keep him working and for people to try him or he is never going to find the right home.

As i said to you on FB, I'd be happy to have him here..and for 1/2 you are paying atm..
i cant do it for free, but he would be looked after like a king until you make your decision 100%

and i'll match GW's offer of shifting him in my lorry for free if you do find him a nice home..

As you know, JC will do the Deed for £200..and take him away..but if you need some cash back, if all else fails, i'll take him to Potters for you ..and stay with him til he's gone.

Zeb...agree 100%

Thank you alligator, you have been in my mind as the next option, I have a few months funds for him now but think if by mid June I don't have anyone in the pipeline for him then perhaps moving him to you to buy some more time would be the sensible thing.
Potters was what I was thinking really, although I would phone my hunt and see what they could do first. I would always be with my horses at the end but if it does come to that the offer of someone with me and transport if to potters, would be much appreciated.

I hope it works out for you! At least he's ok for another month, & he can't complain that he's not being fed enough haha. If he goes before June I'm happy for my donation to go the WHW :)
