I do know what you mean, he is young and we do love him. He's a first horse so keeping him with such uncertainty hanging over us seems daunting to say the least. But we have a little way to go before any decisions are made. I'll keep the thread updated as we go along x
Please learn from my mistake and get a vet check before you take on the horse! Please please! I'd do anything to turn back the clock. Trust me, you never know what's is going on with a horse by looking at it or spending time with it. It's got to be the most important part of buying a horse!
Thanks everyone! I have gotten advice and I'm pleased is all I should say. I now need to write letters :). It's not over yet but at least I know where I stand :)
We'd spent so much time getting to know her that we trusted her. We had him checked as we agreed when we bought him. I'll take legal advice and see where I go from there. Thank for replying. I do appreciate it.
The horse was vet checked checked by owner few weeks before sale. She said all was ok and we could have access to report so we didn't really need another vet check, Then the horse was injured, she got him checked and said he was fine to go but vet didn't want him to travel for a week but had no...
I have not been dishonest so please don't say that.
The vet said the injury would cost thousands, if it worked at all, to bring him back to a rideable state. If he's not being ridden then treatment isn't really critical.
The vet did suggest an X-ray to confirm what she already thinks but...
I've already got the horse. The payment remainder is due at the end of the month To be honest, I'm not bothered about getting my money back,might don't want to have to get him pts, it's not the money but I don't want to make that decision. Plus, if I don't fully own the horse, how can I decide...
It's my worst nightmare to be honest. All we wanted was a horse for my daughter to ride. It's her first horse and she's heartbroken. Plus because we have paid out so much for the horse she won't be getting another on due to finances. Shame but we've learnt the hard way.
