Will that invalidate your insurance?

The pony I mentioned before - the thin one - is now lame. And vet has prescribed 2 weeks field rest and then if still lame scans. They want it still walking about so that they can see it still lame etc.

The young owner was riding it today :(. Which the vet has said not to. The girl who rides my horse challenged her and was told that its her horse and she knows her horse. But this pony was soo lame last week that my dad - who thought my horse was a COW when I bought it - said that something really wasn't right with it. I am not butting in, not said anything to them, but I don't want her pony to get confused with my boy as they are kept down same road, and don't want folk thinking someone at my house is riding a lame horse out. And it prob will go round as well, its teenagers and they can get catty!

And they want to get a youngster..............
 
I agree with the above, esp if it's your reputation at stake, if that doesnt work honesty is the best policy, talk to them and the yard owner...
