we have had all the usual defects sorted on this car at our own cost

ie the airbag light kept coming on so had to keep going back forth to garge so got that sorted

it was going through brake pads at an alarming rate since found out after replacing all brake pads and brake drums its a common fault with the brake hyrdrolics on this model and year ,

now last but not least and i simply refuse to pay out for this as its another fault the clutch /flywheel has gone on this car i still have 11 months payments on it thro hp but its sitting there in my driveway unable to move , do i pay the remaining 11 months or do i return the car to the dealer as i now need to hire a car to get me about ive had the car since 9/7/2009 its also had the 2 engine strut mounts replaced withi the first year we got it i keep paying for a car that isnt useable

story goes i am intrested in a fell mare and foal the foal is handled every day but the mare is 10 years old and totally untouched the owner states that she must have been abused and has no trust whatso ever i feel so sorry for this horse and i feel i can really do something with her .she isnt stabled at all and i feel now she has a foal at foot some one should start taking care of them both do you think 10 years old is too old to start i believe she had been ridden about 8 years ago but the owner has had her for 5 years and hasnt been able to do anything with her she was wild and hes just let her run in the field i cant believe that she was a ridable horse to something that you cant get anywhere near would you take on this if you had the time /experiance and patience i want whats best for these horses at the end of the day thanx

right im on the look out for a companion horse to keep my old horses company incase something happens to one of them i want the remaining one to have a field buddy so its not lonely i would rather get one soon so i spot an ad as follows

ideal companion horse as cant be ridden due to injury 3 years old free to good home

i sent email enquiring about it then get a reply stating that they want £500 for it so i didnt bother

as i can get a sound ex racer same age for £200 but ive already got a thoroughbred and an arab and fancied something differant would you pay for a field ornament it was a gelding by the way

right story goes my horse was shot with a air rifle in the front leg but ended up with a high suspensory injury in the other front leg and a swollen rear leg and badly damaged hoof due to him most have been turning suddenly when shot he spent alot of time in a harness in the vets and slowly is on the mend he is no longer lame after 8 months yippee hes been home now 10 weeks i have had 2 different farriers to get his hooves done but he will not let them any where near him rearing kicking out he did this afew times to me also but now we are back the way we used to be i finally tracked down my old farrier who has agreed

to come see him as he trusts him but although hes letting me pick up all hooves hes good as gold i hope

he will be the same with the farrier any tips what soever plz don't say sedate him hes now no longer keen on the vet but we are working on this slowly and i think hes seen enough of him any suggestions appreciated thanks in advance
