Utter a*seholes. How dare they call themselves professionals!

I hope this leak has a massive impact on your 'business' and that you each get a well timed kick tomorrow!

I sold my horse to them in may due to personal circumstances beyond my control. He was supposedly PTS 2 weeks later after they had ridden him into the ground and he broke down. Although I am now wondering if he was re passported and sold on!

Been banned/deleted.

Has the thread in CR been pulled? Can't find it. Is there any further update?

 

[Nightmare before Christmas]

Link?

yes they are me and a friend were going to see one

 

[CatStew]

Ignore my previous post, I've found it now. Sorry cant edit as on phone.

FWIW I have a three year old I have been backing and breaking myself gently over the past three months. I have never carried a whip whilst riding him. The closest he has come to a whip is on the lunge. I firmly believe that there is no need for a whip when starting off a horse under saddle if the voice and leg aids are properly established, needless to say I am sitting on a large, unpredictable animal, and want as little extra tack and accessories to get myself tangled up in as possible!

Isn't the imperial horse ltd website back up now? Looks like they've made an announcement on the site about reporting fraudulent claims...

Yes how hilarious. Anyone with such a lack of brain cells should be banned from the Internet and from keeping animals for their own safety.

See the thread in CR.

Maybe if we whacked the owners of "imperial horse (abuse)" hard with a whip 15 + times per minute they would learn faster??!

Extremely upsetting :/

Interesting announcement!

I saw one of the original postings on HH and commented at the time;
http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=11289465#post11289465

AND downloaded/captured the video from the YouTube channel, that was posted under their name.

AND went to the company website (where the announcement now is) and followed other video's from there to the SAME YouTube channel.

AND the video that was later posted by someone else (under the false account?) on YouTube (btw - they got there before I could post it) is unedited and exactly the same as the one I downloaded from the original YouTube channel.

The conclusion is that the video everyone is now watching and commenting on is a downloaded copy of the one originally posted by these people, before they realised what a mistake they had made, and removed it from their YouTube channel.

The only way that they can reject the accusations made against their behaviour in the video, is that;
Their YouTube channel was hacked and someone posted a video that was fake, whereby the people taking part in the video were made to look and sound like those from the company, and the yard in the background was faked to look like their yard (same as in the other videos on the company website).

Sadly, I think it may turn out that the way TicTok was treated as recorded in the video was not actually illegal, and nothing (or very little will be done).

But that should not stop us doing everything WE can to prevent cruelty to animals (whether that cruelty is deemed illegal or not), that includes not forgetting who was involved, ostracise them, and those who condone their behaviour.

How touching that they also support children in need shame it won't save the horses in their evil hands !

 

[FionaM12]

If I was a potential customer, there is no way I would touch that business having seen that ridiculous childishly-written "announcement".

It stinks of dirty washing in public, and looks very threatening. I wonder what they think it will achieve?

 

[Gingerwitch]

Have a look at the web site, and watch as the pictures roll round.... they put bits of text between them.... really not nice people, but they are pretty stupid ones too

Idiots. How on earth do they think stupid remarks like that are good for business?!

 

[amandap]

For info this case is now defo being prosecuted, can't say anymore as dont want to risk prejudice of the investigation but it is well in hand due to the actions of lots of people who were not going to stand back and do nothing.
Well done those people and I hope it is a successful prosecution.

Can you say who is prosecuting? Good luck to them.

 

[KellyJoArnold]

Where on the website are the rolling pictures gingerwitch? I can't see them? X

on the front page, go to the bottom and watch, the phots change every so often, also as someone else pointed out look at the saddle..... it does not change from horse to horse to horse

 

[KellyJoArnold]

Ahh, I still can't see it, probably because I'm on the college computers, and they are rather dated!
Disgusting people, especially naming names in their "announcement" not very professional at all!

 

[FfionWinnie]

Mugs as you know I did most of the same and I have proof positive it was on their YouTube channel as well.

So unless someone also broke into their yard, imitated their voices, knew the horses name, used their school and beat a horse in their care, they may as well give up that ridiculous story.

They have been caught out end of story.

 

[HappyHooves]

Many have contributed to the posts here and on fb etc. Can anyone who has bought from them, and had subsequent problems with the horse (physical, psychological or passport) please pm me with the name of the vet they used... assuming it was not one of your own choice!

 

[Loulou2002]

Love the bit at the bottom (where the moving pictures are) something about rumours are believed by idiots blah blah blah........how is it a rumour when they filmed themselves beating the crap out of a horse?!

 

[lucindakay]

poor horses, and i seriously hope these people get what they deserve, and they have to just put their hands up and admit defeat because they are making themselves look far worse by denying it further

This can be the only explanation Their security must be crap as well.
