I know you dont see me around here much now im so busy with everything at home but im absolutely fuming i dont know where else to go!
Ive had Ted and Freer on Grass livery for 4 weeks now, i made it so clear Ted could not ever be left alone he is very stressy and will injure himself. She kept bringing her mare in and leaving him so thats why i sent my other mare over to keep him company.
Ive just decided im going to start doing some work with Freer so wanted her back with me, in which case thought it would be best to bring Ted back too so hes not panicking.
I told her yesterday morning i was collecting them in the evening. She seemed fine.
I then get a phonecall saying shes brought my horses in as Ted was being naughty in the field
hes been out there a month and never been complained about before, infact the day before they were saying how lovely he was!
So she rings and says Freer is in the stable fine but Ted is going mad so its my own fault if anything happens.. well i was annoyed he'd been brought in but fair enough if hes being naughty in the field then its only a couple of hours til we was picking him up.. she said hes got haylage and water and hes just weaving badly..
So 6pm we turned up, Ted going crazy. He's in a barn with a metal gate (with a large piece of wood over it so whatever is in there cant get its legs through i assume) I saw freer she was fine, in a block with 4 empty stables next to her.
I tried to calm Ted down not having looked over the gate yet, my YO's who came with me to collect them came over and her face just changed and she was almost crying.. she just said oh my god look at his legs.. hes in with a tractor'
This girl has gone and put him in a barn with an old military style jeep knowing full well hes a panicky horse and hes cut his back legs open! She chose to do this even though there were empty stables available he could have gone in for a few hours. I know shes done it on purpose because im leaving but to take it out on an animal.. im absolutely furious! I was shaking for hours last night, vet has been up and hes on bute now and antibiotics.
Another thing, my mare has had quite a nasty cut which i wasnt notified about, no idea how shes done it but this is also very infected. They were supposed to get daily checks that is what i was paying for.. why would they not inform the owner of an injury like this!
I dont know what to do, i dont think i legally have a case, police wont do anything, rspca arent interested.. even though i have reported that the yard is a danger with machinary lying around and tubs of rat poison on the floor outside the stables with no lids on or anything.. theres also dogs and chicken roaming around which could easily eat the poison.
Im so upset and angry. More so for Ted, hes been through so much, an accident is one thing but this was unnecessary injury hes gone through all because she was annoyed with me!
Is there anything i can do? I cant send her the vet bill i know she wont pay it! She cant keep getting away with this though, she was caught not long ago beating a horse on the floor with chains.. (ive only just found this out!) how can these people just get away with stuff like this
Shes got an advert on preloved advertising this summer grazing so more horses could go through this and theres nothing i can do
Here are some pictures.. the thing that was in with him, his injuries and freers leg (shes the dark bay)
