Hi, Thanks for the inputs. Really helpful. Someone on here has given me a solicitors details and I have also messaged BHS who use an equine law firm where you get an initial 30 minutes assessment for free. So coming here as made things clearer already. Hopefully, it will sort itself out...
I think they know I feel sorry for the horse too. He is really nice (or was). He really was just a young/sporty type and the vet himself said he got spooked during the vetting (probably why he bucked) as he had been lazy to trot up and the vet had chased him. He bucked me off when the vet...
I have BHS membership, so will go via that and see what legal cover I can get if any. If not, yes good idea to check the house insurance. I hadn't thought of the latter. As regards numbers sold. It varies between 0 and 2 a year. I buy unbroken 3 yo's and then do age classes and tend to...

Lightbulb Horse sales dispute. Any help/views most welcome.
ANY HELP WELCOME:
I was asked to sell a horse on behalf of a friend who had cancer. I was also given a 6 week option to buy the horse myself at an agreed price...
No history of bucking. He had been straightforward. Not a novice ride as still green and a real sporty type but very honest and well schooled for where he was at. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
I wasn't being paid livery but we had agreed that at the end of the sale any costs to keep the horse would be deducted. This wasn't done at a full livery rate though. No history of bucking either. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.
