Just telling it like it is, just telling it like it is ........

ps, didnt get the name "coach" for nothing

The Coach

Rode trackwork for 3 years so I know exactly how fractious an entire can be. No problem with the gelding at all, just stating that the information could have been delivered better.

Not a comment that adds anything to the main thrust of this thread but I can only imagine what it is like being the handler of a thoroughbred entire. Last year whilst looking after my brother's property for 2 months, I had 8 horses to look after in addition to the cattle etc. Heavens horses are strong "bastards". Trying to hold one sufficiently still whilst administering worm medication was often difficult and they are only old nags.

You wanna try given it to 15 Clydesdales Yutha mate. We do it every 8 weeks and we gotta catch them first.

coops

Coops ......... I almost forgot how much fun drenching and worming could be........lol.........what do you do with the clydesdales .....show or work ????

Members of my family have harness horses which are shown in Hackney Driven Class with Viceroys as well as jinkers ....... Coach

Bickerty: I was at a party one night and 2 guys per playing the paino together and singing John Lennon's Imagine in a terrible manner I asked them to give it a break and one of the other guests asked me to take over if I could play or sing any better......... So if you can do better than nightingale dont waste any more time complaining start your own syndication business.

P'off: you ask what horses Sasha trains ?? how about your horse right now ........ along with 14 other nightingale horses and 8 nightingale yearlings coming up through the ranks......... email Bickerty's there is bound to be an opening in the new syndication operation.

Coach

I was asking what horses sasha has previously trained, or are nightingales the first ? Why are you so defensive, dont you think the owners have the right to ask questions ?? No one is bagging Sasha , but if you are paying your money each month you are entitled to ask about how your horse is being managed.If you do a trainer search on racing NSW website you cant find Sasha.

I also agree with Bickity that the owners should not have to find out info by logging on to website , you would think we would be notified by email at least.

Coach, have you never once been unhappy with service in a restaurant, by a mechanic, in a bar, in a retail outlet, or by in fact anyone whose services you are paying for????
Do you offer to step into everyones shoes???? Agree with p'd off, very defensive stance you are taking....
I have experience with other syndicators, so i can compare the level of service for the same outlay each month and Nightingale aren't up to scratch. I am happy that they are trying to make a go of it, but do you think they would be happy if just paid them half my bill each month??? NO, so i'm not happy getting half the service.....
Their website was not updated for 2 months so it cant really be relied on for a reliable source of info....
My invoice always seems to get to me promptly, funny that....

Defensive ??? you over sensitive pair of sooks , you log in and type what ever you like and when some one points out the facts you whimper "dont be so defensive" ....... Owners have a duty of care to ask questions ............ that means ask the manager of your syndicate ............. not come onto a forum and bad mouth while hiding behind a pretend name ....... you were told how you would be kept upto date when you agreed to buy your share of the horse ........ the updates would be posted onto the website ....... what part of that did you not understand ......... AS I SAID IF YOUR NOT HAPPY POST YOUR SHARES FOR SALE AND MOVE ON .........what shares in which horse did you say you owned ?????? Oh thats right you didnt.

i agree that the information has been slower coming through onto the web site but Alan has always said "if you have any question call me" you have his number make a call. And if possible get to his open days.
