Oy, you with the arthritic mare ......

Well I don't think the OP is even reading the posts any more. Can't say I blame her. People who bear grudges over petty forum disputes really just don't have a life. What a small world they must live in. I know I have clashed with many on here. I had a major dispute with the OP at one point. But I can't remember most of the people I have clashed with on here; forum life is just not that important to me. Sadly though, it appears that to many, it is their whole life, and these kinds of threads make them shine out like beacons. :biggrin3:

Haha, I know what you mean. My memory's so rubbish that I can never remember who's who and who I've had run-ins with. Someone I must have disagreed with a couple of times once said they thought I was picking on them or had a grudge. Ermmmm... I actually had no idea we'd clashed before, who they were and can't remember even now! :D

I'm mystified reading all this.. Why jump on the op with so much venom? I think she has as much right to rant as any of us might do if they were upset at seeing suffering.

Lol. It's either bad memory or it just means you are a normal balanced individual who doesn't take scuffles on here seriously, so why would you remember? I don't know why I am constantly surprised when a thread like this crops up. I mean it's a bit worrying when some of them may be teachers. What hope is there for our kids eh?

As for everything else....it's always quite funny to see the responses to cptrayes posts ...people really need to move on lol :D

I'm not here all the time, I just dip in and I do miss a lot that's going on. However, I always have Cptrayes down as a helpful knowledgeable person here, especially on anything foot-related. :) It surprises me that there seem to be a few who dislike her so. :confused3:
 
Quite honestly, if the horse is it that much discomfort/pain - if I was their owner and had been putting off the inevitable/trying low level treatment or even I guess not able to admit it... And I was spoken to rudely/bluntly/however you read OP's post OR if I'd seen it on here, it would give me the boot up the backside to actually do something about it - get the vet out and have a real discussion about what to do for the best for the horse.
If I was ever doing anything to the detriment of my horse and I was called up on it, I would rather that happen than the horse suffer - you get over criticism, the horse doesn't get over its suffering unless the owner takes action.
We're all adults, we can take it.

I am another mistified person!

I drive through the Staffs Moorland where fields are often very exposed, grass is poor and it is already autumn and there are horses standing in fields with out any shelter, ponies can get behind the stone walls horses get no shelter from them.

Just hope OP has been able to alert appropriate people so owner gets some support and advice, how often do we see on this forum better a day early than a month of extra pain.

The only thing disrespectful about this thread is the anti-CPtrayes brigade who have an obvious axe to grind. I've now received an infartion - I mean an infraction - for my post which included alternative names for CP - meant in jest, hell, my initials are BS - a deliberate decision, but hey ho.

Oh what a shame BS, that seems a daft reason, but a lot of infractions seem silly to me! I got one once, I quoted an advert and told them I was reporting them (it was something dodgy) and I reported it then got an infraction for having quoted it!

Back to the horse----- do we know if CPT rung up? Are they visiting (WHW or RSPCA)?

She hasn't been on the forum since the other night. I guess the personal attacks were just not worth it. I expect that she has reported the horse though.

I'm not surprised tbh. Some of the posts on here are very personal and a couple of posters in particular haven't shown themselves in a very nice light.
