Missold horse

ycbm said:
I hope it is acceptable to say that my offer to help was thanked but is unnecessary as the horse is being returned to the dealer. I'm not certain i should be divulging what was in a private message but I've done it because the OP is not updating the thread. Many people have tried to give good advice and I think those people deserve to know what is happening.

I think this is the best achievable outcome for all concerned.

Prince will be sleeping well tonight thanking his lucky stars he was sold to Keira.

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. .

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 ?

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.
 
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!).

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’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.
