Advice on selling a horse going wrong.

Also, a vetting for a horse that is intended for light/slow work with a novice rider is different from a vetting for a horse intended for several hours work a day at an equine college. Colleges will expect a horse to walk, trot, canter and jump.

It may be that the college have upped his workload (probably with little/no turnout) and he can't cope either mentally and/or physically.

If its at a college they arent using it for the purpose they had it vetted for so its nothing to do with previous owner.

 

[jeeve]

If there are others that can state that this was not an issue with the horse at previous yard, i do not see that they have much comeback. There was full disclosure and vetting about the known issues. I would sit tight.

You'd probably be better forcing the buyers hand and suggest they take you to Court. Let them waste their money and time.

If someone buys a horse in full knowledge of its limitations, has it vetted and keeps it for 3 months without complaint, then surely to goodness they can't now claim against the original owner!

It sounds to me like they were very novicy and wore rose tinted glasses when they bought possibly the first horse they saw. No doubt their inexperience has had a detrimental effect on the horse. Nothing to do with the seller though!
