Yes, I had questions like that too. It was obvious the person on the other end of the phone had no horse knowledge. They did xfer the money eventually but it was very stressful . As if buying a new horse isn't stressful enough.

If you are planning to pay via bank xfer I'd have a conversation with your bank first. My bank initially stopped my payment as they thought I was being scammed. My purchase was from a reputable dealer with all proper paperwork in place, but the bank still wanted me to go back to the seller for...

Might be too far but Rowton Stables in Shropshire have a 7yrs gelding which may suit you. It's on their FB page. Good reputation.

Have you looked at MPF horse talent on Facebook. This one is up North too but you could visit a few yards over a weekend maybe.

I recently purchased from MPF horse talent (advertised via facebook) and, don't want to tempt fate by saying too much, but am very happy. I tried one at Smart Performance Horses which was a good experience but horse didn’t suit me so didn’t buy. Chris Dyson, Sovereign horses and ponies...

We had one built by JM Horseboxes in Preston. Excellent. Martin is great to do business with. He is at Preston, not sure how far that is from you.

Is there any Common Hogweed in the grazing?
