Help/advice please

[scrappydo]

I have recently purchased a horse, which I have found out it is lou, only saw this when he was clipped, bought the horse from a private seller, contacted previous owner who had, the horse for approx. 3 yrs, they said it was news to them, it must of been the previous to them. is there anything I can do, I do feel very foolish. thankyou

do you have his passport?

do you have his passport?

. Yes, the woman I bought the horse off, said she never got to put her details in.

 

[SusieT]

can you ring round the major insurance companies to see if any of them have records of him ? regardless of whether it happened with them the lou mark will have been obvious so I would be pushing to send him back/refund it.

 

[scrappydo]

Previous owner is not being very forth coming, I have asked for a partial refund, which has been denied, won't have the horse back, cannot insure. I am considering small claims, but I am unsure if I would have a strong case.

 

[SusieT]

is previous owner a dealer?

 

[scrappydo]

Private seller, but does have another horse forsale,

Don't panic, there are many reasons for loss of use.

Did it go through the vetting ok??

What Amymay says, but also if you didn't see the mark when you bought him I doubt you have any comeback.

I think it will depend why it's LOU if say it has a bad heart I think they have a great chance of returning the poor horse .
OP you need specialist advice ASAP good luck.
