Other liveries "borrowed" my lorry. Bit annoyed !

Well it just goes to show that idiots can remain on HHO for a long time, over 12 years in this case. Even those who condone criminal acts are accepted here :D

Well you obviously think that it is acceptable to take any property that you want with out the owners permission, and are quiet indignant that anyone should object.

By doing this you clearly show that the only person you care about is you, and you are more than happy to use and abuse anyone else and their paid for property without even a glimmer of thought.

And your point is?

OK, I'll fess up, I'm 11years old and read the Guardian not the Daily Fail!

Off to do something useful now we're off topic, and I have horses to do.

Lock up your cars, horse boxes, tack, horses, husbands, boyfriends etc.... someone whom thinks they can take what they want when they want is coming to a place near you.

Why in gods name would any one have any driver over 25 can drive your lorry??.

It costs he owner more money for one thing.

If you have it owner only then in the rare instance you let a friend drive it you put them down as a name driver for dates - to --.

makes no scene to me paying extra premium for a service.

Because when you're unconscious in an ambulance on a Sunday afternoon and you've got two horses left at the event it's not that easy to phone the insurance company .

Because it costs £17 more for any driver over £25 and yes that IS fully comp on a 7.5 tonne lorry and you don't have to make changes - which IIRC you have quoted as £25 per time - not so clever if you lend it out once, stupid if you lend it out several times!

And yes of course driver has to have the appropriate license (OR co-driver with appropriate qualification).
 
Gingerwitch - given the acts of violence you have recommended in several places on this thread I hardly think you are in any position to comment on anyone else's morals:D:D:D:

This!!
 
What a bunch of drama queens on this forum! :rolleyes:

Well done Romany! Especially since you said you hated conflict of any kind. Hopefully they won't feel they can 'borrow' your things in future without permission. :)

:rolleyes:

Well since i have had a horse box since the 1980/s this has never happened and if it did. My hubby would drive it back with his insurance. So no need for anyone else to drive it.

it cost £25 for my friend to be insured for 2 weeks to drive my rover car while on holiday.

Then the same applies to my pontiac if i had heart attack at one of my car shows or another accident :rolleyes: NO ONE will drive my pontiac any way anyhow. If i was at a show The AA would transport it back for me.

With the lorry I would arrange my liveries to drive my horses home in their lorry and get my breakdown company to bring lorry home.

I'm not a police officer but a lad in the village got 6 points (making his new liscence useless) and a hefty fine (considering he is long term unemployed) for taking his parents car just this week, so the police do take this seriously.


OP they took 5 days to apologise to you and give you chocolate and wine?! 5 days!! They were hoping you wouldnt find out and I'm sorry I dont believe thier story, picking up a horse is not a last min thing, they will have known it was happening for ages.

Thans for that info, I would have thought it would have been taken very seriously, otherwise, would anybody bother to insure at all??

Really, these ladies are very lucky it was Romany's box, and not someone else who would have reported them. A stiff lesson learned indeed...!

Quite right I would have reported them and give them a hire and fuel bill. if they refused - Small claims court next with a no win no fee for me :D. All bills covered by them for taking and using without my consent.

I would not want to be on a yard where people can take your stuff (box or trailer) without asking.

All very well provided you always go to the same shows as your liveries (and they always have space for your horses) and / or take your husband along with you - and that you are not so seriously ill that they want your husband to get the the hospital asap. I have had to arrange transport for more than one person to hospital with their injured spouse and then arrange to get the family, horses and lorry recovered to their house.

Yes, I assume most people have some form of breakdown/recovery cover on their cars but that's not really what this was about. "Pontiac" is not some magic word that impresses me.
 
Break, break girls - please.... neutral corner all of you!

I reckon you've all forgotten that normal English Law is suspended at most farm gates - it certainly has been on many I've worked on - I've known of horses being removed in the middle of the night - as it turned out this was not to avoid livery money but the possibility of being harangued by the YO, unfortunately these owners took the wrong horse and got rubbled when bringing it back!
On the same ( very posh ) yard I saw a gentleman that you wouldn't expect to see rear up - grab the YO by the throat and hoist him up a wall until he was decidedly puce in the face, this it appears was the final act in a lonf dispute over true ownership of a very expensive horse, YO was supposed to be keeping it to show and sell to high grade clients but was really hanging on to it as a Grand Prix schoolmaster. Same YO was implicated in all sorts of double dealing and dodgey stuff.
On the smaller scale, I found a local farmer had used all the materials left over from some construction I did for him on the grounds of "well it was delivered here weren'it?" He also let out my kit to folk down the lane who were paying him for it - this too on the grounds that I had left it on his place.
And on our first livery yard I found the farmer helping himself to our feed to give to his horses and was told: "if you don't like it you can p*** off."

How's it go? What thine's mine and what's mine's me own!
 
Well done OP. I agree with the others who don't believe a word or their story, and they are very lucky they did not 'borrow' my box as would have been reported end of. Collecting a horse is not an emergency.

Were you the two selfish idiots that borrowed the OP's box without permission?

Can only assume you two have nothing worth borrowing and are happy to borrow anything you like without permission.

Lets hope if you do have anything, if someone fancys borrowing you are just as happy!

I think this thread safely shows the users who are the 'borrowers' on their yards ;) my guess all those saying 'no harm done', 'what a load of drama queens' obviously don't see anything wrong with helping themselves to other people's property :D

I'm also snorting at Delicious_D's very clever joke about borrowing Slightly Foxed's high horse (I got it DD even if others didn't :D)

Remember Slightly Foxed don't tax that little mind of yours too much....breathe in...then out..

Don't give a rats, wasn't trying to impress anyone or if I had I would have mentioned the Ferrari my pontiac is a classic, and I have the forum where it does impress the right sort of people not a horse forum.:rolleyes::rolleyes: it was an example its not different than a classic car you do not insure it for anyone to drive it because you do not want any one too-


My liveries rarely go to any events i go to. If needs be they would bring their vehicle to my event and bring horses home. Or I have plenty of people to help.
