How do you know who they're going to? Could it be possible that inexperienced people are rescuing horses that they wouldn't beable to handle, an unhandled youngster going to a novice for example? Just thinking out loud, would love to have one once I've got the money saved!

bhpride.....sadly this could happen to any horse and as people are buying them of their own accord, there is not much anyone can do. i think it is hi lited that these horses rarely have any known history, people are buying from a picture (as i did) and at the end of the day you really do not know what will be getting off the ferry! however not one horse that has been rescue to my knowledge has shown any agression towards humans. given the circumstances i find this incredible. i do not agree with any novice person buying a horse, regardless of its background.

i think if you were inexperienced it would be easier to get a british horse, the french horses are not cheap and like melissa said you are buying from a photo i,m afraid if jupiter had gone to an inexperienced handler they would be lying flat in a field with a huge horse galloping about ;D
