Yard have been negligent.

I really don't know why people are wasting their time with this woman, you cannot reason with the unreasonable.

The OP changes her tune/mind constantly, first she tells us she has a lifetime of experience with horses and in the next breath says she has loaned/owned for only five years. It is pretty obvious that she has no real experience but is a know it all with a blame mentality - leave her to her ramblings.

Yes I have worked as a professional for many years, but have owned and loaned ponies for the last five years, the last five years I have been in "livery yards",before that I got paid to do the job, and had mega experience.

In order to be sure is was not a carrier he had to suffer a scope and wash of the Gutteral Pouches; this is invasive and ghastly, he was knocked out for this, he had already been knocked out for a scalpel to cut open the lymph modes to allow the pus to drain, we caught all the yellow pus in a bucket, there was a lot of it.
I tried to get the estate next door to start up a grass livery, so I could take him there and run it properly!, but they decided cattle were more profitable.

Absolute utter nonsense!
My horse recently had a scope and a gutteral pouches wash, he required no sedation he was held in stocks but not even given sedalin, he was scoped twice in a fortnight and neither time was he sedated.
Also it is perfectly feasible to lance pus, I have only ever seen or heard of it being lanced with a needle, and never with a scalpel (why would you make an incision instead of a drain hole?)
And might I suggest that not only are cattle more profitable than horses, they also carry less of an 'idiotic livery risk'! ;)
 
Well reading that has just brightened up my dull boring morning at work :D :D
Maybe for all those struggling with Mrs D ought to read the thread in soapbox about dealing with dementia he he :D

Clearly a complete fruitcake and as they claim to live on a island, probably an example of inbreeding.

Seems that the pony living in squalid conditions in a bog now loves rolling in the mud - no change there then. A happy hacker but is fed lots of lovely oats...riighhtt... a horse which loves to kiss and cuddle mares ...oh dear... local anaesthetic to lance the strangles abscess- really? You just poultice them until they burst of their own accord. The would only be lanced if they were affecting the horse's breathing and you certainly wouldn't bother with anaesthetic - where you would put the needle ? in the abscess so it doesn't feel the lancing, oh but that means you've burst the thing anyway.

You have to feel sorry for people like this. Totally away with the fairies and they must live a really sad life if they have to get their jollys trolling on websites.
 
Sorry to be pedantic but Great Britain is an island - England is a country that has Scotland stuck to its head and Wales stuck to its hips

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye!

All UK residents are probably an example of inbreeding!

You claim the OP is away with the fairies, the way you are ranting, I reckon you might be too!

Sure, you can get incensed with an issue, but don't let it cloud your own sanity.....

I remember when my Scottish dad corrected me over something like that. I said "England, Scotland...same difference really". He was not amused lol
 
Dear Dragonslayer, lord, if you think that is an example of me ranting ... Looking back at the thread alot of people have "ranted" far more than me. And as for being away with the fairies, ooh, how I wish that was so. Then I wouldn't have so many things to worry about, the health of my horse being the main one, closely followed by my own.

When the OP said she lived on an island, I'd wondered if she meant Guernsey since strangles was reported there recently. Seemingly it is off the coast of Scotland, or so she implies. I'm surprised any dealer from Ireland bothers, as I can't believe the population there would justify shipping horses over. You'd probably not cover the shipping costs for a start, so I'm not sure I believe that bit of the OP's story either.

We can only pray that in fact they are just making the whole lot up and there isn't some poor equine who has been lumbered with that idiot as an owner. Perhaps we should splice this thread in with the one about "things you've heard horse owners say"???
