I went to a dodgy dealer..so dodgy that the bbc did a programme on him.
I was typical first time buyer..the type that dodgy dealers love.
In short i was stupid ..the dealer was sharp and i paid a lot of money for an 18 year old very unhappy horse. Out of the three parties the horse turned out to be the one with the most common sense.
I was luckily in a position to be happy with what the horse turned out to be...and i would pay the same amount again for the time we had.
A lot of the problem with dodgy dealer sites are that a horse can be one thing in one persons hands and entirely different in anothers. And a lot of horses react very badly to nervous new owners..(i was a typical example of that)
Sometimes its the new owners who are the problem and it can take a long time for them to realise that.
