Stolen horse??!!

Sounds rather fishy!

I highly doubt its an American Saddlebred. More like a coloured trotter or something which is usually a line of coloured cobs crossed with anything lighter .

If this is true that is?

There's plenty horses out there for under £1200 . Especially for having done nothing.

Saddlebred ? Standardbred trotter more likely given its provenance! Both are brown I suppose...

Lets get this straight, you knocked on the door of a travellers yard!
Handed over a large sum of money, presumably in cash, then walking it to a nearby yard where you just happened to arrange for stabling etc, you never discussed this with anyone, and no one suggested it was a bit strange, and in your thirteen years of horse knowledge you have never heard anyone discuss a passport, or a vetting, or the time, expense, and skills required to break a horse. You have never seen or heard of travellers' reputations but you have heard of American Standardbreds?
You are still in touch with these people and think it is strange that they want it back now because they know you are applying for a passport as soon as you get paid? I think it is amazing they are not wanting to sell you another one "they don't want"

I have been following this story and nothing adding up at all. MrsD covered all the points well

In her other thread, the OP tried to post a pic. It didn't work, but if you open it via the url it's a photo of a young girl sitting on the ground cuddling a very chilled lying down coloured horse. It can't have literally "not been touched" looking at that photo.
 
Looks like the picture she posted of the horse she supposedly bought two weeks ago was actually taken last summer? So someone isn't telling the whole truth maybe???

There's something very familiar about all this, the traveler theme, then the "January" photo clearly really taken at the height of summer....

Rileygirl!!! :D
 
Hmm her fb profile says she's pregnant. So am I. The last thing id be doing right now is spending £1200 or any amount of money on a youngster !
 
I've noticed that many of the 'interesting' threads have different fonts and/or bold writing, very copy and paste like, I would be interested to know where else they have appeared on the net!

Traveller love my saddle bred I have stopped by men in transits several times when I was driving him they knew what they where on about .
They are a popular driving choice they do a sort of traveller show class where they get together with smart traps and well show off , its not racing definatly a show of thing .
 
**bangs head on table** why?? Why play on people thoughts & emotions. Why do people play games like this :( I would never dream of posting untruths etc .:(
 
Well the important thing here is that we all stay calm.

Fwiw I didn't think this was a troll post as it wouldn't have been posted in every section, they would have just put one in the tack room.

OP you've had some good advice, hope you get it sorted.
 
I'm not saying your story isn't true OP and if it is true then I wish you the best.. But how did you go about leading an unhandled horse to the livery yard?
