A stark lesson for all sellers. Court case

I'm not surprised at all!
Sadly in the British Justice System its true they always rule for the claimant with conflicting evidence...we've had experience of this before - I'd encourage your friend to appeal as the more publicity around this the sooner something will be done about it!
 
Caveat emptor? More like caveat vendor! Unbelievable that a judge can find in favour of someone who is simply an incompetent rider and not capable of riding alone - not your friend's fault. Your poor friend, I feel so sorry for her.
 
I can't believe that this has happened. I bought a horse which was supposed to be suitable for a novice but which has bucked me and two other riders off so far because he is so tense and nervy. I consulted a lawyer specialising in equine law and was told that caveat emptor did indeed apply and any court case could take up to two years to be heard. I decided that two years of livery bills and an unrideable horse was not worth the risk, especially since I had been told that I had very little chance of winning the case. If I knew that the judge in your poor friend's case was guaranteed to preside I would file a claim right now!
