Posted - 09 Jan 2011 : 7:54:59 PM Hi.
I've not posted on here for a while now. I used to own an Arab gelding called Aldazi and as some of you probably know, I've had my problems with him and some awkward situations!
Anyway, Aldazi has just recently came back from 8-months being on loan to a lady we thought was trustworthy and totally in love with him. Near Christmas she contacted me saying Aldazi is going to have to come home as he is proving very difficult to handle; lashing out at her, bucking in his stable, rearing up, barging etc. I know Aldazi more than anyone, and yes he can be a handful but I know that he'd NEVER hurt anybody on purpose or unless he was scared.
So me and my mum tried to arrange a place for Aldazi to go so he can come home and he came back to us on 27th December.
He has dropped weight, lost his muscle, his coat was terrible and scruffy, he had lice.
I was worried about him coming back at first because the way she was describing his behaviour put me off but when I saw him, I was just glad to have him back so we can look after him.
He has been as good as gold since he has come home, and he knows where he is too!
I might have had my difficulties with Aldazi in the past, but we've had him for 8-years, he's been through so much...both of us together, and me and my mum love him to bits. So we are going to keep Aldazi with us from now on and make sure he is loved and cared for because he certainly knows he came back home to his mummy :-) It's bought a tear to my eye writing that last bit haha!
If anyone has Facebook feel free to add me :-) www.facebook.com/Nikkisian89 I have some pictures of Aldazi on there :-)

Posted - 11 Jan 2011 : 06:23:43 AM I remember selling my first half-Arab gelding to a woman I thought would take care of him. Oh those no all too familiar words: "I've always wanted an Arab!" He was a complete baby, understood what you said to him and stood with his head in the front door just to be near to everybody. A real darling. Anyway,the woman called in a frenzy asking me to have him back saying she couldn't handle him. Needless to say I went hot-foot to get him back and asked for a leg-up. "You're not going to ride him bare-back," she said, "he's a killer!" Pointed in the direction of home his little legs went up and down like the clappers! He knew exactly where he was going. Just because horses can't talk it doesn't mean they don't get attached and have feelings too. Sometimes I don't think we appreciate this ..... Perhaps your boy objected to the way he was being treated - he'd known better. Sounds as though your boy had a lucky escape. People aren't always what they seem. Well done you ..... Rose Ennik

Posted - 09 Jan 2011 : 8:00:55 PM I added you Glad you have him back It is very hard when loading and I was the same with my mare honey ho sadly came back and had to be PTS after a 8month battle to get her right. It has certainly put me off loaning unless I was sure and knew the person very well. It is amazing how quick a horse can loose there top line and muscle tone especially if they aren't happen which it sounds like he wasn't by the way he is behaving looking forward to seeing pictures and hope he comes right for you in no time
