hey guys...
A friend of mine came to see me at work today, and the news wasnt good.
She bought her horse about 2 years ago i think... she basically saved him from the dreaded meat man!!
He is a 16.2 (looks bigger) 8 year old tb x.... his reason for meat.... he only has 1 eye after a terrible eye infection that wasn't treated
She has told me briefly of his terrible past, and really bought and kept him out of sympathy, but after not owning a horse for a long time she just cannot deal with him. He is very big, and intimidating when he gets nervous, but however at other times he is the biggest gentalist boy you could meet. He just needs someone who knows how to deal with him.
I recently took him to a riding school for her to have him broken properly as she has always been to anxious to ride him.. they did some work with him and he was coming on well. He was breed for eventing and moves beautifully...
He stayed there for a couple of months and then went back to his owner. Unfortunatley she jumped straight in and took him out on a hack afew days later, he spooked, she fell off, and she has barely touched him since.
This is a lady who loves this horse, but is unable to do anything to help him, and is now needing him to go asap, as he is upsetting the other horse and owner on the yard.
She is seriously considering havinghim put to sleep, unless some one thinks they can help him.
I've dealt with a project myself, and having met him a few times i honestly think he has got something there. He needs someone he can trust.
I've heard of horses with no eyes, that have gone on to do loads, and i know he can come out the other side of this.. unfortuately he was just the wrong horse for her to take on.
if any body is interested in this lovely boy please get in touch....
... i really believe he deserves another shot at life.. and if no 1 else has him i might end up with another!!!! I would love to take him on but i have no room and time is a squeezeee!!!
if you think you can help please let me know xxx
