Kinsky stud, kent

I bought him off of someone 4 months ago but she was the one who actually bought him from the stud in sept last year.

Just went into panic mode as my other horse has lots of problems so bought him as my fun horse and then panicked I had bought another problem horse lol
 
Ladies, please could you PM me your experieces too. I have a friend who bought a horse from them earlier this year. Could well be she will be along on here to ask herself but just incase. Thanks a lot :)
 
Of course not, he has a pet Id passport, his condition was beyond poor. He has a misalined atlas, how anyone can let a horse get in the conditioned was in, in 11 short months it is shocking. I paid almost nothing for him, and yes I took his problems on, if he ever has a riden life time will tell, he now has a home for life, on the plus side he is chilled out all the time nothing fazes him and is very sweet.
 
ah ok, i know shes being evicted hence this sale. i always thought kinsky horses were meant to be stunning expensive horses! i assumed because she was being evicted she had no money hence the sorry state! turned up to see poor horses, full of worms, mud fever (some infected), one mare had a sarcoid the size of a football (NO exaggeration!!) one colt was crippled lame but apparently he was ok! i picked 2, bid her down as one had chronic infected mud fever. got 2 yr old on lorry, othwer would not load....2 yr old tried to jump through the window in the side of lorry and went mental.....funnily enough we didnt want to travel this down the m25 for over an hour! so we came home empty handed, i dont blame horses as they r unhandled and hungry but not worth smashing the lorry up for and poss ending up wiith a dead horse out th side of the lorry???!!!

Rude lady said if we cant handl horses we shouldnt own them....

anyone else here fancy travelling a horse thats trying to get out of the window down the m25? i dont call that non horsey....i call that sensible??

no passports, no breed papers......

oh and to end it, when we walked back, there was a quarantine notice on stable block with NEW tape holding it up.....
 
It does not shock me at all, I am sure she has some lovely horses, and has sold some lovely horses, but from my experience all I saw was horses starving and poor. They opened a barn and there must have been 15 -20 yearling in there with no light, hay or water, she pointed out our horse, they got him out, even though he was poor he floated out it is something I will never forget, she asked if I still wanted him, like I was gonna leave him, they loaded him up and we was gone. She was more concerned that we was going to breed from him. He was full of rain scaled, pigeon toed, his atlas and axis are misalined and well never go back. Some people think I am stupid for getting him, but hay he is currently 3 years old, I struggle with his weight, only time will tell.
 
My experiences have been totally different!! I didn't buy my gelding directly from the stud itself but he is in excellent condition. And the girl I bought him from never said he was poor when she got him (she was on same yard as me too so I knew him before buying).

He has never put a foot wrong and his temperament is to die for.

He is 9yo though and was one of their stud horses so don't know if he was looked after better and handled more etc coz if this??

The only problem I have found so far is that he has separation anxiety.

I am wondering how he is goin to take to ridden work though this late on in life but so far so good. He just wants to please.

I so hope he is not full of problems have not come to light yet as I have had enough heartache with my mare :0(
 
I got my boy Beaux from them in March & although he was in very poor condition but he's turned out absolutely amazing! I could not have wished for better. He's now 16 months, absolutely stunning & has been the easiest horse i've ever worked with.

Beaux did load perfectly into a trailer & travelled like an angel but every horse is different. The thing to bear in mind is these horses are effectively unhandled.

Temple_Jessica - I totally agree with you, I wouldn't want a horse trying to dive out of the side of a box, especially going down the M25.

I visited last week & yearlings were £300, foals once weaned were £250. Although I paid a lot more than this in march but think he's worth his weight in gold. They do also have broodmares available.
 
I know the Equus Kinsky stud in the Czech Republic and there are rules about which horses can be registered as Kinsky horses. They have refused to register several horses bred by the stud as the stud did not follow the rules and the horses do not qualify for registration. Although some horses may have Kinsky ancestors, or may be out of a Kinsky mare, if the Sire is an unlicenced stallion, they can never be registered as Kinsky horses. That's why some of them don't have proper papers. One of the rules is that unless they are palominos or buckskin/dun, they are not allowed to have the word "Kinsky" in their name. The stud calls themselves "Kinsky Stud" and they add the word "Kinsky" to the horses names, but it does not mean that they are pedigree Kinsky horses. Also, the people who have managed the stud no longer have the right to sell any of the horses as they don't belong to them since the court judgment and the eviction order. They are just giving Kinsky horses a bad name by selling unregistered and ill horses which are not actually Kinsky. If you want a Kinsky horse, you will need to spend a lot more money to buy one, as they are very rare. There is no way anyone would sell you a genuine Kinsky foal for £250 unless it is dodgy.
 
There was a post of face book about this stud gone into liquidation and she was selling them off for next to nothing, I'll see if I can find it!!

Interesting.
 
Has anyone got the contact details for the woman at the stud?
I might be interested in one or two :)

To be honest, when you know the story - i.e. they are unhealthy, not bred according to stud rules, don't have the correct passport etc, it doesn't really matter. The most important thing here is that they are young horses who sound like they need some urgent vet care, worming, feeding, hoof care, not to mention loads of TLC, they also have an uncertain future ahead. For me, what is paramount is offering them safety and security and rescuing them from the current situation. It's much more important to me than whether they have the correct passport.

Would be great if someone could PM me her phone number.
