i was looking after two horses one a full QH gelding named hobbie he was western ridden by his owner as for the other it was a QH x TBcalled mole i named him mo he was a stunning lite bay gelding and he was going to be my payment of riding wenever id like in me helping the owner with them both id muck both out then turn out and feed general horse careone to one in my 3 time but when the owner started to take atvantage of my generosaty he went too far as to expexting me to punishing mo wenever he stepped outer line the owner did wenever he was in the stable wen nobody was about i never raised my hand to neither horse no matter wen they misbehaved the jus gota telln off. i was then told to never turnout as they were too valuable he was bhind on his bills at the livery, the yard owner grew tired of his excuses and i was in fear that he be gone before long so asked to loan him he agreed but the fact that i had to pay 2 months rent at 2wards the bill before signing papers of the loan agreement he wrote up. my partner said no and that he was taking too much of me and so i texed him saying id no longer be caring for his horses as he was taking the mick? after a couple of weeks he did the horses himself and then was ordered off the yard by a particulair date enda month to be spercific. but before he went mo suffered an herendious tendon injury and was put on bed rest but as the owner didnt follow vets advise to slowly walk around yard the injury grew dire and wen he up and left the yard taking hobbie leaving mo bhind wit sumdody whom refused him too go wit him he ad vet called out and after a week went permently lame and was put down to stop the suffering going on wit the tendon injury i still miss him we joint bonded in such a short time i know this was one of lifes lessons in the horse world and learnt my lesson to be aware next time.
