a certain Co. Durham dealer

[charmaine]

As gone are the days when one could discuss such issues on this site would anyone who has had a problem with this dealer, (it doesn't take too much guessing who it is), and has a story to tell please go to the forum on www.simply-horses.com where we can still talk freely and give eachother support.

I've been reading that thread. Makes for v.interesting reading

Got one word for people like this but sadly not allowed to use it!!!

 

[GinaB]

Yes, I can also think of a number of words. I just feel sorry for the poor horses involved. It's not their fault.

 

[charmaine]

I agree but spare a thought for all those including me who have lost a large amount of money. Worse still those who were injured.

yes my very good friends got stung, they have been contacted by watchdog

Friend of mine worked there for a few weeks, scary stories she came back with...

Interesting reading. Typed in stables name on google comes up with website and a load of warnings about him, hopefully should stop a lot of his business even if he is not shut down. Expect to see him trading under a different name in the future!

You do know that there are related businesses? Used to run one on Teesside which has changed names a few times, but the ownership... split shall we say? One stayed, he moved and so now there are 2...

I read something about them in the paper a while back - I thought he had to stop trading now/been banned from selling horses??!
He obviously hasnt though as I saw an advert under the same business name/contact phone numbers etc.. in this weeks paper!
I've heard stories and about him and his 1st partner/wife that'll make your toes curl!!!

I cant believe that either of them are still in business

 

[Gingernags]

There is a story on the main HHO news page though you have to go back, it appeared last week, about him being up in court.

But yes, the things I know about her place... horrible people.

 

[Snowberry]

have you ever been to either of them??

We went a couple of years ago - OMG is all I can say!!!
