Went to see a horse at a dealers. Liked him, but it looked like he had a lump on his knee. Asked dealer ' you said there are no blemishes or bumps' in the advert- he said no, hes clean legged. So I thought I must be mistaken. I trusted the chap. The day I got him home I phoned dealer and left message saying 'theres definately a lump on this horses knee.' No word from dealer. Rode the horse gently- walk and trot- for 3 weeks as I knew he wasnt fit and was young. He seemed fine. Not lame, soI thought it was a cosmetic blemish. After a month I started cantering - horse was immediately lame. And after a canter he trotted lame too.
I messaged dealer to say the horse was lame,no reply. I took the horse to a vet today, seems he has arthritis.
Could I ask dealer if he would take the horse back? Is he likely too? What if he offers me a swap? would I have to accept that? He knew I wanted the horse for hunting,jumping etc.
