Hi, in early 2009 I rescued/bought a mare who had evidently been badly mistreated in the past from a woman local to me who did a disappearing act days after I collected the horse. She was a pretty little fine TB x mare (possible part new forest somewhere in her) bay mare with a wide white stripe all down the front of her face.
When she first arrived she was covered in cuts and had a severe skin condition on her legs also her teeth were so bad she's not been able to eat properly for about a year and apparently she hand't been out her stable in over 8 weeks. She was also extremely nervous often kicking out and rearing for no apparent reason. She was with us for 3 happy years and grew to be one of my favourite horses who I taught two young girls with barely any riding experience to be confident and able riders, after eventually sorting out her dangerous habit of rearing, taking off and spinning around and anything else she thought would get you off her back due to being ridden in badly fitted saddles for a long time before coming to us.
She was registered first on her passport as belonging to Rudi Paret in 2007 although she must of been early to mid twenties by the time I got her. I called him once and he claimed never to of owned a mare called Jess (which was obviously a lie as the address and his address matched that on the passport) and was generally very evasive I also facebooked him and he never replied.
I dont believe he caused the abuse as I know the woman I got Jess of was very shifty and had two other horses in similar states: one who was put down, the other I also took. I just think his evasiveness was unusual and was wondering if anyone had any idea why this may be or had any information on Jess's past. I can post photos of her if anyone thinks they may of know her, thanks in advance
