they bought the horse as a reduced price. i am so pleased as he is going to a lovely home and I don't need to put up with all the nonsense involved in dealing with other buyers. The horse is 11 so the chances of the tiny bumps getting much bigger are probbaly slim - I think they have just got...

I thought I'd update you all - he was sold this evening to an amazing home. I reduced the price as a good home and easy sale was important! I have enjoyed reading all of your posts and thank you for all the advice. I very stressful day indeed!

Thanks Maxie! I feel like a plonker for not noticing them. TBH, I sponge his dock seldom and have never noticed the ones around the anus as they are tiny. I probably would not have been concerned if I HAD noticed them either!! I can also see the risks in rising vet costs for the buyer. I...

Just PM'd you - thank you : )

I am totally thrown as I thought the sale of my horse was ticking along perfectly! The buyers came top see him on Sunday and he was perfect for their needs. They are such lovely people which made the whole experience so much easier. We agreed the price and the vetting was arranged for...
