Rug Washing
Don't forget as you put your horse to bed in thicker rugs, that your lightweight turnouts and sheets need preparing before you put them back on in the spring, which won't be far away. Leaving your lightweight rugs where you left them (is your bedroom just as bad?) maybe slightly wet, most certainly dirty, and possibly damaged is not going to do them or your pocket much good, wet rugs will grow mould and quickly rot, they will keep bugs, rats and mice warm throughout the winter, passing on horrible Vials disease, so, please call me 01444 417517 to come and collect (free) them, wash, proof (as necessary) repair (all done in house) and return them to you in a large plastic bag (transportation use only - not for storage) ready for you to use in the Spring.
Horse Dealers
Having read all the press, spoken to lots of horse riders and some dealers. It seems to me that "caveat emptor" has never crossed the people who buy from dealers' minds.
Why do perfectly normal sensible people leave their brains at home when they go and look at horses?
They will buy one unseen from the internet, not for lots of money, and then wonder why things go wrong!!
What part of STUPID!!! don't they get?
What happened to vettings? Albeit they cost money but if you are not paying a lot for the horse in the first place (that should give you a clue that things perhaps are not right) they would be saving themselves lots in the long run.
Shall I give you the answers?
Because they all are too big headed!!
1. They think they know more than the dealer
2. They think they can make money
What about the problems they could have?
Fail the vetting
Fail the blood test
A lame horse could be buted, so it could be doped for behavioural problems.
A dealer is the answer for a lot of professionals who cannot let it be known that they have a "wrong" horse to get rid of. It is sold to them on the cheap knowing the problem will "go away" to some poor unsuspecting novice rider who has limited money and sees the opportunity of buying "a good horse" on the cheap. There is no "free lunch" in the horse world. When will people realise this?
