Just musing really, as I already replied to the email I received from a new owner of a horse I used to own. But I was wondering if, as a new owner of a horse, you would appreciate honesty from a previous owner or prefer to live in blissful ignorance with your new steed?
Reason being, I received an email out of the blue a while ago from a woman/girl who found me from my details on her new horse's passport. The horse had had a few owners in a short period of time and she asked me if there was any particular reason that I knew of for that. I replied honestly (he was a serial bucker with me, real bronco twisting to get you off bucks, whilst squealing with delight! Turns out it had a reputation for bucking, which I hadn't been told when I bought it as a confidence giving ride) and I haven't heard anything since.
A part of me feels bit bad, but then again, I wish the person who sold me the horse had been honest and hadn't lied to me, as the horse made my confidence issues even worse!
So, would you tell the truth if someone contacted you?
