Yard have been negligent.

Vam, I am so sorry about your mare. That must have been devastating for you. I can understand your anger at the op on this thread, but with so many inconsistencies and incoherent ramblings, I would not give this person any creedance at all - please do not give this thread any more thought.

I have no idea what the OP actually wants to hear. Her thoughts and reasoning seems to be a million miles away from what the vast majority of board users consider even remotely acceptable. Probably best to leave her to her bog and just hope that someone rescues the pony at some point.
 
Ah but you are all missing the obvious point - whilst its as dry as a bone in all parts of the country currently, its boggy in cloud cuckoo land where quite obviously the OP lives.........

I'm sorry love but if you are for real then get a grip. Accidents and illness happen all the time with horses
At our last yard we had told the YO that there wasn't enough grass and the fields were becoming overstocked. The horses were fighting by the gate to come in and sure enough less than a week later Sid got kicked and broke his leg. £400 vet bill? Welcome to the world of £4,000+ vets bills, months of heart ache and a horse that will never be worked again. Loaning? Selling? Not ever an option. I'm left with a 17.2HH expensively bred Hannovarian lawn mower who has so many exclusions on his insurance that he's more expesnive to insure than my car. Tough thats life. I'm luckier than a close fried whose horse got kicked and was pts after £5000 worth fo operations trying to save her....

A month ago my YO went to a comp, came back and two days later her horse was ill. She informed us all immediately and isolated her horse but Hovis and a couple of others had also caught it by then. Luckily it was nothing more than a sniffle. If it had been? Tough thats life. And horses.

Your choice not to insure your horse. Your choice not to argue the toss about the field your horse is being kept in. Your choice not to groom the poor thing.
Going up to him twice a day? What do you think 90% of us do every day in all weathers? Who normally looks after him or dare I not ask?

I really do hope you are a troll for your horses sake. He didn't ask to be ill and he certainly didn't ask for you as an owner. At the end of this (and there will be an end at some point) you will still have a horse to enjoy, hack and do things together. Many people on here don't have that luxury and I'm sure would gladly put up with the issues you describe if it meant having their beloved horses back with them.

Seek legal advice if thats what you want to do but quite frankly I think you need to do some thinking about what you're trying to achieve here, other than send my blood pressure through the roof.

Well said! You put it so much better than my anger fuelled attempt :)

I do think that if the OP is for real, then her poor horse could be a welfare case.

PS: Sorry about your poor horse :(

Hear, Hear, very succinctly put...

However, if this is a genuine case, please could admin or TFC request the local RSPA or other organisation to go and check on this poor, poor horse

Very well said :)

and as for the OP's horse living in a bog, maybe its living under the bridge with its troll owner as thats probably the only place if this country that may be slightly boggy at the mo!! :rolleyes:
 
I have a bog! In fact I have several.

I have a mare that has been in isolation since November because although she is now tested clear of Strangles I don't want her with my horses, my Boarders don't want her with theirs so she's stuck in a muddy paddock.

I also have a Troll buster should he be required:
 
I don't honestly think you can reasonably expect welfare charities, which are already overstretched, to trawl around a general area looking for a horse which may or may not exist, to be completely fair. It has to come down to the people around any welfare problem in real life to make the decision to do something. It makes me really cross when I see things that are clearly welfare problems existing slap bang alongside other horse owners and no one does anything about it.

I see what you're saying about being worried, but realistically there's not much than can be done given the information available here, and it's not even clear whether or not this is a real horse;) or whether all is exactly as it is being described either.

They will know the ip address and any other information that you give when you register for HHO - perhaps there is some information that may lead them to this poor horse - unless of course the OP is a troll

They can't possibly trace the horses location from the IP address or any other info you may use to register an account here.....
 
Personally, if this happened down the road from my herd and we were not told about it i d be extremely peed off :mad: It may not be notifiable BUT i wish sometimes these yards wouldnt be hush hush about it because that is down right irresponsible!!!

Any pony that enters my yard is kept separately for 2 weeks as a matter of course, and bio security is a must. Regardless if i know theyre history they still get the same treatment. You just cant be too careful.

I dont know if your entitled to compo, havent got a clue, its the nature of yards disregard for disease control that got me.

I hope you get a happy ending :)
 
If yours makes more sense than mine you are doing well! I am still bemused that in a livery yard, a horse can have strangles diagnoised from a vet but the yard owner has no idea. What a strange old set up!
 
I haven't had a PM, I feel left out!
>:(
This woman is either delusional or negligent herself..
Can't afford a £400 vet bill. Hasn't had her horse swabbed to see if he is cleared.. etc..
No insurance..
The yard sounds like its gone to the dogs.

If this is true.. bl**dy hell.
If its not.. what an imagination this woman has!
