For those of you who replied to my thread last week thankyou very much
Have tried contacting loaner over the weekend with out much success
As I said OH away but my friend can come with me today or tomorrow, have to work tomorrow afternoon so not entirely ideal but I have tried phoning since 8 am this morning with no answer landline and mobile, also saw someone in the supermarket yesterday who lives near by and commented on pony s poor condition
So should I send a text please get in touch with me asap ? Just turn up in the hope that someones there now ( about 40 mins away and don't want to waste my friends time )? Or go over later on this evening when there is probably more likely to be someone there?
Feeling worried sick with a really bad headache, and lovely weathers changing tomorrow I just want her home where I know she's safe
Thanks in advance for any help/advice
Will keep you posted if that's ok as finding it a helpful way to vent some anger x
 
I saw your previous thread but didn't reply. If I were you I would go with your friend and trailer and load the pony and go. In view of the fact that the loaner is not returning yur calls, I wouldn't tell her in advance but ring when you get there. Then I would send a text to tell her that you have taken the pony. If she's at livery, you might be able to get all your stuff at the same time. If you are not able to collect everything, give the loaner opportunity to return it and threaten small claims court if unsuccessful. You are acting within the terms of your loan contract.

totally 100 percent agree with this, no advance notice, if my pony/horse was in a state, I would not be giving them the time of day, let alone advanced notice because to be honest, I would be too worried that there was a risk that when I turned up there to pick the horse up it would be gone. This person may not be like that, but I would not take the risk.
 
Firstly she is your pony not theirs....so it does not matter how attached they are, she does not belong to them!
Secondly, in most loan agreements there is usually a clause which gives you the right to terminate the loan with no notice what so ever if the pony is not being cared for in an adequate manner.....if you are unhapy with her weight and the missed appointments, there is your reason for immediate termination.
Take a trailer, and go and get your pony, and once you have her loaded, ring her to say you have taken her home.
Good luck!
 
I agree take friend and trailer and bring YOUR pony home asap. She is your to take they have not kept in with the loan agreement so you are entitled to do so. The weather has suddenly changed & as you previously stated she is not spring chicken so the earlier you start feeding her properly before winter sets in the better.
 
i agree with everyone else, go and get your pony and not warn her you are doing it, take a copy of your loan agreement and if anyone questions you (YO) then show the agreement and tell them that they have avoided all contact.

totally agree with this too!
 
Have to say I missed your last thread but just had a quick read and it sounds heart breaking. I think you are giving these people too many opportunities to hide her. Dont call again, you have given them enough chances, go get your lady back before this weekend, the weather is set to start declining as of today. I must admit, I have had the most awful grass this year but I opened up all the paddocks to make sure that they could get what they needed and as of next week, I will have to start supplementing as I can see that they are not getting enough now. When you take on an animal, you have to take on ALL the responsibility and if that involves feeding said animal then that is what they should have done. Poor poppet, please let us know when she is home with a nice bucket of food safe with her mummy xx

If she is in a place where you can turn up and take her (ie where you won;t need a key to get in.....) I would go and get her. Also, take a note/letter telling them what you have done, and if youare not able to get your stuff, leave a list and a date by which you expect it to be returned.

Good luck!
 
is the horse on a livery yard? if so i forsee a problem. Have you met the yard owner? Does she know you own the horse. if not then she may well stop you taking it. Her contract would not be with you, it would be with the loaner. so you would need to prove to the YO that the horse is yours or she could call the police and have you stopped.
