Has anyone got a Horse Trainer Treadmill or know of someone who has? If you have, who does your repairs and servicing? We bought one from Horse Trainer when there was an agent for them in the Uk. Now if we need anything repairing, we have to get someone from Denmark to come out and do the...

Lets hope your right, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a favourable outcome, it just doesn't seem right that we have to be put through so much stress first.

Thank you for your reply to my OP. The vet did know the horse was to be used for dressage. We have been in touch with the vet and it is the vets insurers that we are fighting with at the moment.

I am glad you managed to get your money back but as you say it would have been better not to have had to go through all the heartache in the first place!

Yes the vet was advised what the horse was wanted for and it is written on the vetting certificate.

Thank you to everybody who has replied to my posting and given advice. You have all been very kind. I will try to keep updating you on what we do about it and how it is all going. Again many thanks to you all! :)

Hi Guilding - Many thanks for your advice. I am a member of British Dressage and did seek the free legal advice but was not given much hope.

I am new to writing on forums so I am learning what you can and can't do as I go along. After messaging Huntley I now realise I can send messages to other people. So thank you again for your help and I will give it a go if Huntley can't get us on the right track.

Thanks for your kind words applecart14. Not sure where we stand on loss of use side of things because we are trying to prove that a horse passed the vetting when it was not fit for purpose, which means it would have been wrongly insured. I try not to think about what will happen to the horse...

OMG, Huntley it sounds like the exact version of my story. How did you go about sueing VDS, did you use a solicitor and if so who? The vet who did our vetting was not my vet and he contacted the VDS who months later contacted us and admitted that the vet question marked the leg but that he was...

Thank you for your story ihatework. Having never had any experience of a Shiverer is exactly why I asked for a 5 stage vetting, which is suppose to protect you from purchasing a horse with a problem you have had no experience of. If the symptoms were not obvious to a vet, then why would...

Thank you applecart14 for your help. I have searched the internet for all sorts of help on the subject and have already seen the information you have posted for me. Many thanks for your help anyway. I guess I am just hoping that someone has had a similar experience with a good outcome and can...

I am a very experienced horse person who wanted to buy a horse to train to Prix St Georges level dressage with the view to sell on. Normally I would trust my own instincts on soundness etc if purchasing the horse for myself to keep, but this time I had to be sure that I had taken every...
