Dealer in Essex

Quickly searched him on Facebook and he appears to be friends with a woman named Sammarie Phebb, don't know if he's anything to do with her dealing business, but if he is I wouldn't touch him with a barge pole! Ask him if he's anything to do with Meadow Stables, as I said if he is just leave him be, friend of mine bought a horse from them, advertised as super safe great jumper. Well, he cost £2000+ plus to buy and has already cost over that amount in vets bills, and she's only had him three months, he's pretty much got three legs! He's taken off when ridden with her before, and he's constantly needing the vet or chiropractor bless him. If you read some of the reviews there's people that've bought "super safe" horses from them that have gone over backwards on the road or just been plain mental and had to be put down they were so dangerous. I'd hate for anyone else to be in that situation!
 
Whoever you buy a horse from please take care as there are a lot of 'Chancers' out there. Some sellers tell terrible porkies to off-load their horses and some horses (even the most laid back ones) sadly completely change in character when moved to a new home and will take many month if not years to really settle down. Many sellers are unaware of medical issues in the horses they are selling and some again are totally dishonest.
Unfortunately most dealers do not know the true history of the horses they are selling unless they are the really old fashioned type that keep the horses and hire them out for hunting for a few years before they then sell them on.
So when buying a horse take care and always have someone knowledgeable with you to witness what has been said and watch what is going on.
I am afraid that many horse dealers and second hand car dealers go hand in hand.
Just take extreme care and don't believe a word of what is said...........
 
Good luck, its such a gamble buying a horse. I think the best advice is do what you are doing and check people out. I tend to try and buy local from people who are known to people I know. - But still no guarantees!
 
He is called Jay archer, There is a lady called Sam Pheby and Sharon involved. seem like Elite equine and meadow stables are two separate business.
 
Warning to unscrupulous horse dealers as man must pay £10,000 for license and passport offences
06/07/2012
A horse dealer was found guilty and forced to pay a total of £10,000 in fines and costs for license and passport offences when trying to export low value ponies from Essex to the continent.
Passports and medications
James Harbour was found guilty by Colchester Magistrates Court on 29 June of 18 offences including exporting horses and ponies without health certificates, forging export licences and travelling horses without passports.

Essex Trading Standards prosecuted the case which was investigated by the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency's (AHVLA) portal team based at Dover, after a tip off from a World Horse Welfare field officer who had obtained information that the horse dealer had been exporting vulnerable ponies through the port of Harwich in Essex.

Tony Tyler, deputy chief executive of World Horse Welfare, said: "We are very concerned about the welfare of horses and ponies that are transported out of the country without the necessary checks and paperwork, as often that means the dealers responsible cut corners on welfare too. I hope this case sends a clear message to those who do not follow the rules that they can be found out. It's an important part of our field officers' jobs to speak to people in their local communities and we get a lot of useful information that way. People can also contact us anonymously with information at tellus@worldhorsewelfare.org."

A spokesperson for AHVLA said:

"The valuable intelligence that World Horse Welfare provided alerted us to Mr. Harbour's increased export activity and to concerns that he was attempting to flout rules designed to both protect the welfare of animals and prevent the spread of animal diseases.

As a result, and by working closely with Essex Trading Standards and the Port of Harwich, we were able to identify Mr Harbour's travel patterns, assess the degree of non-compliance and to decide upon the appropriate action to take. Further investigations resulted, from which a pattern of offending emerged.

This prosecution will demonstrate to all that organisations concerned with the welfare of animals and the prevention of disease can and do work together extremely effectively, enabling resources to be concentrated against those intent on ignoring the law in the pursuit of profit."

Compliance with health and welfare legislation is vital to protect the UK Horse Industry from the introduction and spread of notifiable disease. AHVLA's portal team based in Dover continually monitor the movement of horses and ponies shipped through ports in the South East of England. Working closely with other agencies and organisations such as World Horse Welfare helps to identify issues of concern, which in turn helps to target resources to where they can be most effectively deployed, all with the goal of helping to ensure high standards of animal health and welfare are maintained.

Jay archer owns elite equines, he is Sams husband, but he runs a separate business to meadow stables. Don't go near either of them, sick horses (some have been PTS as a result) wrongly advertised (a lot of their "super safe" horses are incredibly dangerous)
