Last year following an accident, my horse was on livery he was being a pain in the butt, so a friend (long term friend known around 15 years and lived on her farm once.) offered to take him for me, so he could live out in a herd, and she would get him backed for me.
up until around September i couldnt drive, so totally relied on friend taking care of said beast then I started to go up and feed, but due to half a hand i was limited to what i could do. Then a couple of months ago beast started going through fences and chewing the post and rail, at this point i was feeding most days and hay went out, but i was struggling with gates/horse 1.5 hands so it wasnt every day.
then horse waved back legs at friends husband and got religated to A stable which is where hes been for the past 2 months, when i bought hiim in it became apparant that he was in a bit of mess, weight loss rain scaled mud fever etc.
(transpires friend had been leaving rug off hoping horse would get a shock on the fence and stop going through it. )
why had i not noticed all of this>? well id been feeding him over a gate as couldnt get him out of the field on my own.
any way Ive now sold the beast.. BUT HERES THE WWYD
Im due some money from an injury claim, and always said id give friend a decent amount but after the state of my horse im peed off, i also have had her using my feed, limiting hay etc whilst hes been in, i couldnt afford to keep a horse stabled which was why he was sent to hers to live in a field, im really peed off ive been forced to sell him.
so what do i pay friend? he was backed.. well ridden 3 times by kids
ive helped her out with tons of things, and have recently thrown her 30 quid for extra hay.
id been thinking of giving her a grand but now im not sure what to do.??
