There are about six threads and 000's of facebook shares on this one already I am afraid.

Cant believe they haven't removed it yet

If it's the youtube video that has been doing the rounds then there's a rider on a young horse who is bucking. The rider hits it with a whip when it stops bucking. At the end the horse ditches the rider

thanks

Think horse being beaten with a whip, and reacting by bucking/bronco.. rider falls off at the end, having been unceremoniously thrown off out of the side door.. Person filming is having a right giggle at this horse's expense, and says he's throwing some 'little bucks' - they were not little, they were huge!
Looking at the video, it was clear, the horse hated the whip, and it appears to have been the soul cause of his behaviour..

This has made me really angry. I would love to rip he/him or and beat the **** out of them horrid horried people hope she never sell's a horse again!!!

The more people who see this and post it around the better I think. A statement on the billy stud face book page, some one has said the owner went to the yard and took the horse back straight away, took photo's of whip marks (plenty off) and taking it further.

They can't remove it cause someone else downloaded it before they made the video private.

I hope something does get done about it and they never see or touch a horse again.

Well the horse world is getting smaller all the time. When I saw this video yesterday it had 300 views. It's now on over 23,000!!!

I think she calls the horse "Tick Tock" doesn't she?

 

[Marydoll]

He's back with his owners now

There is a new post now on Facebook as there are TWO Imperial horses, the one in the video is Imperial Horses Ltd and there is another Imperial Horses in West Sussex who are nothing to do with the ltd version. I advised them to post separately on here for clarification as this incredibly bad press and behaviour could really impact them. I felt it would have more impact if they posted themselves but was happy to add this note to the earlier post.

Horse is now back with original owner and safe. I believe Rspca are involved. Full story in Comp.

 

[Tinypony]

It's Imperial Equines in West Sussex, nothing to do with the Imperial Horses people, who have taken their website down by the look of it.

 

[Luci07]

Your post is a little unclear? It's the ltd bunch who posted the video. Imperial horses in Wet Sussex have their site up still and are nothing to do with the video or treatment.

 

[Tinypony]

Imperial Horses in the original You Tube video have taken their site down by the look of it.

Imperial Equine are a completely different outfit (with a different name) and based in West Sussex. Their website is here http://www.imperialequines.co.uk/contact.php

Hi, we agreed not to name the dealer on the forum until H*H Admin had looked into all the facts. As far as I am aware they have yet to contact the owner so I have taken their name out of the title so this thread is not pulled. Admin have been really good about this so I think we need to respect their request.

you neglected to mention the person filming laughing their head off because they think the situation is funny

 

[magic104]

These dealers are based in Peterborough * also run under another name as discovered thanks to other videos

 

[Achinghips]

They are also members of this forum, btw.

 

[ELFSBELLS]

Glad thet are members of this forum, hope the low life get to see all the anger their actions have displayed, should be ashamed of themselves, glad the poor horse is now safe x

 

[Achinghips]

they sent me a nasty, illiterate pm, when someone asked opinions on a thread about a horse they were selling and I replied on the thread by saying that the seller was "unfortunately IH" lol

Am I mistaken or are they selling 4 horses on Horsemart under the name Pietre?
