Update on my broken loan horse

[Cobsndogs]

Following on from yesterdays thread. I got up to yard last night and found all his kit dumped on floor outside tack room, and horse in stable where he had been all day with no hay/feed. Suppose it saved me the job of asking ending the loan.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

That's terrible.

No thought for the horse's wellbeing at all.

 

[wildwest]

poor thing at least its the end now

 

[jeeve]

My god, I know that you may choose to stay out of yard politics, for good reason, but i think if she was looking to loan another horse in the yard, I'd make sure they were aware of how she has treated you and your horse.

 

[Maesfen]

I can't believe some people, you're well shot of her; your poor horse.

Ditto this

What on earth did you or your horse do to deserve that? The horse becoming possibly slightly lame?

I don't think I could keep quiet (and I don't DO confrontation) and would demand to know what on earth she thinks she's playing at!!!

 

[Piccy]

And she provides services to others on the yard, shocking behaviour who on earth does she think she is no horse no matter what deserves to be treated in such a way and for that matter nor should you. I know not everyone who loans is like this so won't tar all with same brush but what a horrible experience for you and your horse.

 

[Lynnskatz]

Did she leave you with the vets bill aswell

 

[Tiasmum]

What a horrible woman!

 

[Trinity Fox]

I was shocked by how vile she sounded in your earlier post, she has well and truly shown her true colours your better shot of her keep a dignified silience i wouldnt bother wasting my breath.

Anyone with any sense will be able to see what has gone on and i wouldnt move either you are not the one in the wrong.

Do not pay her vet bill but do explain to the vets, despite what your contract says she didn't inform you so it is invalid. From the vets point of view whoever called them out has to pay the bill, you are not responsible.

Not saying she's right but....
Perhaps she's offended to have read about her bad behaviour on a public forum rather than having a discussion at the stables?!

 

[Tinypony]

Even if she did read the thread, no excuse for taking it out on the horse. Nasty piece of work. (Maybe she'll read that as well).

 

[ELFSBELLS]

sounds like you're well rid of her, she's not an animal lover to take it out on your poor horse.

 

[DiablosGold]

Blimey! What a horrible person, gives loaners a bad name.

 

[Clippy]

Nice of her to dump all your stuff! She sounds vile

 

[Amaranta]

What a bitch! Regardless of your original thread, she took it out on the horse and THAT is unforgiveable, horse lover? NOT!

PS - I too hope she reads this!

 

[muddygreymare]

What a horrible person! I hope your horse gets sorted - it's not fair at all to take it out on the horse I bet you are glad you are rid of her now - at least you know he will get the right care for his injuries now. What a vile woman

 

[JingleTingle]

Well she turned out to be a real horse lover didnt she - maybe she should go find herself a machine to compete on?? Your well rid....hope she does read this also - what a first class B***H!!

I'd go with this.

What if the loaner was terribly worried about the horse, so in a panic took him to the vets...in case she thought she had done something awful?

We don't know how peoples minds work...but maybe she wanted to sound it all out before she worried you?

.....then to read it on a public forum and have everyone judge her before she got her side out.....I'd be pretty annoyed too...not saying the horse should suffer, but angry....probably.

Hmmm, I'm not sure to be honest. I can see where your coming from but it also depends on if she was aiming to pay the vets fees. If she wasn't then the owner should have been allowed to make the call for the horse due to it not being an emergency. Especially as she had already stated that she would not be responsible for vets fees.

 

[jeeve]

I loaned a 23 year old horse and the agreement was that i would be responsible for vet fees. i was always watching him to see if he looked okay, he could be a little stiff sometimes, in the end i got sick of worrying about looking after some one else's horse and offered to buy him, which they agreed to.

It can be stress full as a loaner for sure. but this person had already negotiated an arrangement with no vet fees, made no discussion with the owner before or after the incident and cut and ran as soon as things looked a bit iffy. there can be no excuses made for her.
