I moved mine to a yard he hated, and to be fair to him it was awful. If I'd been told the truth he would never have gone there, but you live an learn! He went mental! Chucked his rider off 3 times the 1 and only time he was ridden there. Wouldnt stand still, couldnt be lead or touched. He was just passed himself with stress and anxiety. We were there 4 days before I moved him and that was only because it took me that long to find a new yard and transport to get him out of there. He came off the wagon, looked round, and I swear he just shrugged his shoulders and said "thank god for that" He looked like he shrunk in front of my eyes as he relaxed. Hes been settled there ever since. Sometimes they just hate the set up of a yard.
Or you could have been completely misold. With one rushed viewing and no vetting its entirely possible. There are lots of very dishonest people out there! If they are really moving abroad then you can forget about any legal recourse. I'd be doing a good bit of snooping about though just to verfiy the story and the info you were given about the horse. Its pretty easy to do. PM me if you need a hand
Whats the horses routine? Whats he fed? What is it hes actually doing? Have you had an instructor or similar handle him?
As he stands now hes worth little more than meat money, so if you want to try an recoup some of your money back you are going to have to try and work out what the issue is and fix it. Or ring a dealer and write the money off. Its up to you to balance up how much the money is worth to you in time and effort.

May I suggest a pet rock to replace the pony.
With the level of empathy and caring you’ve shown here I certainly wouldn’t suggest anything actually living or breathing.
Poor horse needs someone who actually knows what they are doing (not someone pretending that they do), time and compassion.
