One behalf of a friend. She posted this to me:
'' A friend sold a pony. Its was a lovely little horse, it came to me for 4 weeks schooling before she sold it and I never had any issue with it. The old owner had him from birth and never had any issues. He was sold to a lady down south that bought him back end of January as a happy hacker and possible local riding club horse. He had been out of work for years hence why he came to me and was sold in the knowledge that he was like a baby to work and needed bringing on. He was also sold with the new owner knowing that he had only been gelded for a year but he never showed any stallion tendencies when with me or when he lived at home. The new owner also never came to view him she just bought him and picked him up.
3 months down the line they are demanding there money back or their going to take the old owner to court as there saying he's not fit for purpose, and that hes a nightmare to handle and that hes a nightmare with all the mares coming into season.
All I need to know is do they have grounds to sue the owner or do they have enough grounds to get it chucked out of court. They dont want anythiung to happen to the horse but cant afford to buy him back for the price the new owner paid in one go. If they have grounds they will offer less and go and get him in next couple of days. ''
I also know after he was gelded her was turned out with mares and geldings and never showed any signs of being a late cut stallion and was also known as a 'dope on a rope'.
Any information and advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
