Hello,
So i have two horses, one a 19 year old retired tb and a 13 year old ISH type. The ISH has a bog spavin but never caused issues and has been fully assessed. She was loaned out whilst i was pregnant and was away 18 months and by all accounts got on really well in her loan home. I had weekly updates and pictures. She was returned through no fault of her own. I put her back out on loan to a friend of a friend and shes been an arse. Shes been twitchy, bucking and hard to control. Ive been in contact with her old loaner and she said there were no issues with her and she was more than happy to come out and speak to the new loaner and ride said horse. Anyway the horse has been with the new lady for a couple of months and shes decided to return her.She thinks her hock is causing her pain. She would never normally put any effort into throwing bucks so this behavior is out of character. Her teeth are up to date and her saddle has recently been re checked.
Anyway shes coming back. Im going to have a vet see her and a physio but the reality is i cant keep her. Im hoping shes not in pain and can go out to a more experienced loaner but i dont know what my options are really or what to do. This has all happened at a really bad time in life as it does and its causing alot of worry. any advice would be great.
