Update on my LWVTB nightmare

[JoG]

Thought I would post an update for you if anyone is interested....thanks for all the very kind offers of going to see my horse to check he was ok and all the advice and kindness that was given

It is no suprise that my loanee is not going to be buying my horse but it took a fair while to get that definite statement out of her It turns out that she had in fact not had a break from horse owning for Uni as she told when she first viewed my horse. She very calmly informed me that "as I haven't really ridden for 11yrs I need a horse to give me some confidence so I won't be buying yours"

No wonder my RC eventer/dressage horse wasn't the perfect match - why the flippin' heck couldn't she have been honest in the first place??!! I have always heard horror stories of loaning and so many people say not to risk it but I have loaned horses before and treated them better than my own plus she seemed so genuine and the perfect home so I took the chance. Even if I were to remain a horse owner it goes without saying that loaning a horse out would never be an option again, which makes me feel sorry for all those honest, genuine loanees who deserve to give a horse a loving home but just don't have the initial capital to buy

The good news for my horse is that a close friend is able to take him on schooling and sales livery for me and I trust her 1million% to do right by him....anyone looking for a cheeky part-bred RC horse, drop me a PM

As usual I've been baking - chocolate flapjacks all round

Brilliant news Jo that you have someone to help you out, bad news on the silly tart that took him.

When is he coming back and is he staying local for this sales livery? It would be nice for you to at least be able to visit him and give him a pat!

Don't stress about loaning, I had a horrific experience last year with one of my horses and vowed I would never loan again, however he is now on loan to someone from here and he couldn't be happier. He's been a pain with losing shoes and bruising his sole but she has stuck in there and he is having 10 star treatment. It is always hard when someone is giving you a load of cobblers but as you say, you were hoping he would be sold at the end of it and that is why you were willing to loan him. My loaner I just saw how well she got on with my boy, had a fantastic feeling about her and her mother that came with her, her mother is very experienced and they have their own place so I knew that he would be in good hands.

Again when they collected him and he was being a pig to load, the whole family had come and they were all so calm with him and much more understanding than me lol! I think you just get good people and bad people and the first I had was very bad and I'm lucky to say he is now with a very good one!! I get pic updates all the time and any problems I'm told about. xxx
