Had something very similar happen to us 4 years back, about a welsh pony we had for sale.
The local well known fruitbat called up about a WEANLING welsh pony we had for sale, for her 3 year old and 9 year old to " learn to ride and handle horses with" A WEANLING!
Weanling was not one we had bred, rather purchased a mare in foal to joe blows stallion ( Fugly stallion) and weanling was the result.
We didn’t like his temperament. Wasn’t suitable for children and took him off the market for some serious behaviour readjustment.
Local Fruitbat became incensed when we refused to sell weanling to her for children and weanling to " grow up and learn together" offered double money ( which she wanted to pay off in $100 installments after she got her tax money back after horse went to their farm) explained that pony would not be sold to her as not suitable for children / didn’t want a lawsuit when idiot got pony and or kids hurt.
She sent 10 + emails a day asking bank details to put deposit, when can she pick Weanling up, changed his name from Salem to Aladin ( must be the crazy clue!) then sent email saying she would be collecting him the next afternoon, and was then called and informed again that pony would not be sold to her. Figured she got the point, until a week later and she turned up one day with horse truck to take him back to her place!!
Sent her packing with warnings of police. She swears she will “get you people for this injustice, and god will smite us”
Over the next week gates mysteriously open and horses are out of their paddocks, could have ended up on the highway so we we lock gates and put horses in back fields away from public view. Figure it’s the idiot kid causing trouble.
All is well and good for a few weeks, until we return from a show, and find pony missing. Gates are closed and he hasn’t escaped.
Search entire property, including ponds, and the neighbours. Neighbour tells us that a yellow horse truck with a fruitbat ladies farm name on it showed up at lunchtime and collected the little brown pony. The “nice lady” had knocked on his door and asked him where the brown pony was, as he wasn’t in the front yards where he should be and she was there to collect him.
Neighbour ever helpful told her the horses had been moved to the back fields.
:mad:
The police found him in the front paddock of her farm.
We got him back and everything was okay. Police thought it was all a joke, and didn’t charge her with horse stealling, saying she was mentally ill and couldn’t help it…:eek:
I just want you to know to be super careful and remove him from view, and let everyone know ( neighbours etc) to call you if anyone is messing with him.
There are some crazies out there!
