A few years back, I hired a vet to come and do some work on my horse. He was recommended by someone I rode with at the time so I trusted that he would do a good job.
On the day though, he turned out to be nothing like that. He was terrible. He was very old school, was rough and hurt my horse :-( He did his teeth and cut his mouth in the process because he was rough He also treated his back for sore muscles and was not gentle at all then did some chiropractic work.
To this day I feel a horrible sinking feeling in my belly about that day. I hired someone in good faith and they hurt my horse. My horse is very very old and trusts me to look after him. He's one of those horses who loads without a hassle and can be caught by anyone. He's so trusting of people and I let someone hurt him
Has this happened to anyone else? How do I get past the guilt?
By the way, I reported the vet, but I still feel really bad.
