Today when going to the field where we keep our 5 cobs, 2 Broodmares, a ride and drive stallion and 2 youngstock. After picking their feet ut handling them etc, my dad and i started tacking up the stallion Riley to go for a hack and some old fella' who lives locally called us "thieving ***** scum" well i am 100% a traveller but i have neva stole anything in my life. I was well educated and now run a small building firm. He threatended to ring the farmer for us just dumping our ponies there. We rent the field from the farmer who has never not recieved his rent. He then had the cheek to say they were abused without their coats on. Our horses have never gone hungry or thirsty, i dont rug them because they are fine they have a field shelter and do well without rugs. Just made me feel rite sick that he could taar us with such a wrong image.

Dunt get me wrong i know some travellers do not do justice to their ponies but then i also know of non travellers who do so aswell. All of them have hay over winter and are groomed regulary.

Safe to say my old man gave him an ear full !

It just peed me off, we have recieved alot of abuse while keeping the horses there, once came by and someone had trashed the field shelter and opened the gate to let the horses out ! We have dummy cameras up now and tht seems to have stopped it.
 
Have you got some pics of your horses you can put on ? It's very unusual for a traveller to post on here - maybe a first ?? Tell us more about yourself - I'm very intrigued.

Hmmmm.
 
i let 1 of my fields to some traveller boys to graze.they paid up front and on time and were very polite,i even lent them my electric fencer.
 
So sorry to read about your experience, it it so sad that people jump to wrong conclusions. How horrid that someone would trash the shelter for your animals.

My small cobs do not have rugs on either, I was advised that it is better to leave them without as nature gives them an natural protection, and I have to say they certainly have wonderful coats, and even thought they could go in if they wished prefer to stay out.

There was a time when few horses had turn out rugs and they all survived, the general public do not seem to realise that the most important thing is fresh food and water, and with those animals will survie the worst of the weather.
 
give me 2 and i will get some up , they are from summer cause the weather is bad they dont look as smart at the moment big hairy lumps
 
Wouldnt worry about it Just the same normal (bs) when your from a certain community,

I get aggro most days from out jogging with cars inch's from the back off the gig or pushed right up verges...What can you do?

My horse is well looked after & wants for nothing, yet reported for this that & the other.

Not very nice to take the p*** just because spelling is abit dodgy and certainly is no indication of intelligence. My brother is dyslexic and his spelling is really bad but he is a computer programmer for the goverment and has a very responsible job...
As for the horseys...I love the feathers and that tash is amazing!!
p.s I have some very interesting Rileys in my family history ;)
