Oh he will, and oh boy do I thank this forum for supporting us through these dark times. It’s so so hard when you bite off more than you can chew. So in truth, just keep on chewing.........you will get there!!

I think we are all a tiny bit in awe of what you've done with Prince and what you've gracefully taken on board from where you started, Keira. I take my hat off to you.

And that comment, will mean more to me then you can imagine. But it’s you I take my hat off to, you and other members of this forum have kept me going! It’s never easy! We just have to keep trucking ? xx

Your case was a bit different though. We could explain the most likely reason for Prince's behaviour, you listened and acted upon what was said and the problem was essentially solved, although of course it isn't as easy as it sounds. Unfortunately there is a lot going on in OP's case and she doesn't seem to have the wherewithall to deal with it. .

I'm with ycbm on this. Prince was truly blessed the day that he arrived into your care.

Well to be fair I told you to send him back, as I recall ☺ I am pleased for you and him that you ignored that gem of advice ?

sadly I think this thread has confirmed what we all already knew and that is that Prince is one of the very few that landed on his feet ?
I really hope this horse gets the right home next time.

Im glad this issue is resolved for the OP as i dont like anyone being stressed out but i do damn well hope they have learned a hard lesson and don't repeat the mistakes. We are unlikely to ever know what happens to the horse but i really hope he will find a good home who is willing to care for him.

I used to be decisive, now I'm not so sure...
Haha, I believe, when he was rearing, I said the same, or even PTS.
I still don't think it was bad general advice, just that we had underestimated the kindness and tenacity of Keira! He certainly did land on his feet.

One of the few occasions that I didn't say PTS! Ha ha
Kiera has been inspiring with her good (& kind) nature and how she has handled everything the forum threw at her. It's not always easy to take criticism and/or advice especially from so many people looking at a situation from so many different angles but she/you have done so with such amazing grace. I dont think anything like that has been witnessed on here before in that kind of situation.
I'm really pleased for you and Prince.

I'm one of those who did say PTS in the Kiera/Prince saga but honestly more than a little pleased to say the least to be eating humble pie over my words now; you've done a fabulous job Kiera and should be an inspiration to owners everywhere.

If anyone was interested this horse has popped up again on a dodgy horse dealers and sellers FB page as the original dealers are selling it on again, but saying they've only just bought it from Ireland. A potential purchaser remembered the previous advert with the bad back and is therefore warning people (not me!).

I don't know how dealers like that sleep.

Blimey, that dealer is near me . I’ve been past the place, but know nothing about them.

Or to be honest the OP. I know not everyone has the funds/time/experience and maybe it’s unfair of me to judge but I just couldn’t let a horse go back into that cycle. Christ I had instructors saying was I sure R was the right horse for me and she sure as hell wasn’t. But a bit of time, love and money saw us right.
But yes most of the blame lies with the dealer, they should never have been sold to the OP. Maybe the blame lies even further up the chain, with the person that sold the horse to the dealer in the first place.

is it back on preloved?

I don't think so, think the poster had found the old add from the first buyer and the facebook add from the dealer.

Makes me want to just buy the bloody horse. Looks such a kind soul. And even if I had him pts a week later at least it would put an end to him being passed from pillar to post. Breaks my heart ?

The screenshot ad is one on pets4homes that is still on there, but the advert written by the OP not the dealer.

I actually think that’s totally unfair. The horse was not as described. The OP had every right to return it.

I’ve not read all replies and I feel I’m missing a big chunk of this story. How or what right does any vet (assuming your not well known to them as it’s a new horse) have to say a horse is not right for you after giving vaccinations? The back issue could be next to nothing (or it could be big) but until you investigate you don’t know that.
Do you like the horse? Did you ride and see it ridden before buying?
It almost sounds a little like the vets comments have damaged your confidence in the horse?
Poor horse!

The horse was sent back a while ago to the dealer and is up for sale again.
