Oh dear

Thank you Rockysmum for putting the photos on for me. He was in a shocking state, his feet were the worst part about him to get right. At one stage I didnt think he would pull through. He would be a good advertisement for Blue Chip Balancer, because thats what helped him on his way to recovery. He is a very naught boy now and always smiling. I think to pull a horse round is so rewarding and makes for a huge bond between horse and rider.

You've done an amazing job with him Lionman, bless you for persevering when it was looking hopeless for him. It's fortunate for horses down on their luck that there are some people who will do this.

I'd like to think someone could give that little mare in the ad such a chance, but the odds are poor. Sadly there are just so many unlucky horses out there, and not enough people with the dedication, time or money to help them.
 
Just in case any one was wondering. I am really sorry to report that following my 'research' into this seller I am unable to do any kind of business with them.


I hope that little mare finds a genuine home with someone who will give it what it needs.

I think that is reasonable. From the looks of things, she isn't the only one who needs a home; sure, you'd be saving her from a rubbish life, but ultimately it would just fuel the fire.

Let's hope she finds a good home somewhere.

So I think we've established then, OP, that you're pretty clueless on conformation issues...

I think what we have also established is that you have entirely no 'vision' and are project shy, you seem to be a bit of a trophy hunter snob type who probably buys close to the finished article. You would never be able to pick out a real potential horse out of a bunch looking like the horse you posted becase they are bony, lacking in muscle, probably full of worms, muddy, lacklustre due to them lacking care and nutrition, you are quite obviously incapable of seeing the bigger picture, or caring about it. You are insensitive, and just because people are compassionate and have a heart does not make them bunny huggers. You won't be thinking about the fact that this horse is not doted on and adored and in complete health and care tonight. Because you do not seem to give a damn. It comes across that you will never fully appreciate what it is to take a horse like this chestnut TB home, nurture and truly care for it, see it blossom and learn, school it cherish it teach it all it needs to know, there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than having an eye, compassion and talent for that...


well I suppose there is, its the moment you ride into the arena on the ugly duckling horse that narrow minded horrible people laughted at and walked past so that they could buy a pre prepared rosette winning horse aka Katie price style and you whip their arses wipe the smile off their face, collect the sodding trophy and ride around in a lap of honour on your now gleaming swan.
