they don't come from Ireland at all he gets them all from the meat market

I went there and the saddest thing I saw was someone dropping off 2 horses in part exchange for one of his ones. How on earth someone could leave their own horse there I'll never know

However I know someone that bought from him, they paid £600 for a smashing ISH that turned out brilliantly and they did really well with him!

I ve known a few people buy horses from him, he was called PaddyTom then. We were under the impression that they all came over from Ireland on the way to slaughter and got a second chance at PT place, hence the low prices, those that don't sell are packed off to slaughter, I know, my daughter who had a horsebox at the time was asked if she wanted to run horses up north (Potters?) for a few hundred quid for 4 at a time, - she naturally declined. I had three friends who bought horses from him. One was a job lot of horses about 3 that included a very nice big hunter that was totally psycho when fit, the horses brought a dose of strangles to the yard. Another girl bought a very nice, huge heavy cob filly that turned out to be in foal, and the mare turned out really good after backing. then there was a lovely grey ISH that was fantastic little hunter, eventer she paid about £1000 for him and a couple of other girls that got lovely young ISH that turned out fine. I went to have a look around and was appalled at what I saw, it made me cry, I was speechless. There were so many battered, lovely, really old horses ( I am good on teeth) that looked like they had never seen a EDT, they had knocks and cuts all over them and they were in the most appalling squalor in filthy dark windowless stables they looked so sad and sick. I wanted to buy something to rescue it but my daughter wisely dragged me away.
I cannot understand how the authorities allow this man to continue trading or why the RSPCA or WHW have not been involved. He is an utterly despicable man.
