Where abouts is ' New Beginnings'?
Brilliant news. I presume that he will be handed over for a nominal sum (£1). Seems only fair as the rescue are moving in (well done that rescue) to mop up after the owner has seen fit to bin the horse without securing his future.
I am working with Cathryn to secure the purchase of Scriptwriter and can confirm that a sanctuary place has been arranged.
Attempts to contact Evelyn Slack this morning have proved unsuccessful.
Aaaand you just shot yourself in the foot here - if they are not ''recommended'' and they are ''dangerous'', how is it morally right to send them to bin end sales? Why not take them directly to a slaughterhouse or even better, shoot them at home?,the only horses we sell at rubbish sales are the one we feel are dangerous and can not be recommended ,even then we put a reserve them at a price above x,,you know what I mean,,,good luck ken
Justabob,,I recommend you apologise,,the horse is going back to Darnley,,,and to infer we lack morals is not a slur I will tolerate,,,
Martin,,so you would rather kill your horse than give it a chance??
Hi ken slack here,,,we've taken the decision to retire scriptwriter whilst still sound,,we entered in sale to advertise ,,we were contacted this morning by two great people looking to retrain him and give him a new life after racing which is our aim with all our retired racehorses,,the horse is going back todarley to be retrained and I've forwarded the ladies details to them,,half the fee Darnley offered for him is going to a racing charity of sheik Mohammad's choice,,if the lady who started this thread and the twitter campaign had only contacted us before starting silly stories all this rubbish could of been avoided,,,we try very hard to find our horses new homes and meny are having a great life showing and competing at other disciplines ,,the only horses we sell at rubbish sales are the one we feel are dangerous and can not be recommended ,even then we put a reserve them at a price above x,,you know what I mean,,,good luck ken
Justabob,,as a result of entering we were contacted by two great people,entering and actually going is two different matters ,,now apologise and we can all move on
The problem with that is, bin end sales rarely attract people with the skill sets required to retrain a tricky horse. It is more likely to end up (if lucky) at a knackers yard and if unlucky with a bin end dealer, drugged, mis-advertised and forced onto some unsuspecting, novicy, teenager; then passed from home to home, all the time injuring people in the process.Martin,,I believe everything deserves a chance ,just because its beyond my capabilitys does bot mean others couldn't achieve great results,,,any way we digress scriptwriter has a great life ahead of him and will probably end up with one of the great ladies who saw him advertised at Kirkby,,,,lets move on bye,,,ps is any body is interested in having a retired racehors in the future keep us in mind
Justabob,,,we lack morals and your a bitch,,,there were even,,bye,lol
Scriptwriter deserved more than going to a horrible sale like Kirkby Stephen.
As licensed individuals you should be ashamed of yourselves for sending any horse there.
We are so pleased to read that Scriptwriter has a home. We offered him a home with us in Yorkshire and that home is still available if needed. At New Beginnings Horses we provide a safe, supportive environment for ex-racehorses to be rehabilitated & then 'loaned' to long-term loving homes. We commit to be there for every one of our horses for the rest of their life and we are non-profit, every £1 donated goes to help the horses. We are home to Yorkshire's legendary Mister McGoldrick. Please see our website: www.newbeginningshorses.org.uk for more information. Happy retirement Scriptwriter!
I don't believe he has a home.
So you don't think he's going to Darley??
