Op I just don't understand why you don't get that people aren't going to pay 3.5k for what is essentially a lame horse?
I refuse to pay more than 1.5k for any horse in fact the only horse I've paid that price for I've done everything with over 15yrs, I've still got him, he's 25 now and still sound. Wouldn't expect him to pass a flexion test at his age but he's still happy and healthy.
Your choices are drop the price dramatically and be honest as to why, get the vet out unless you have been silly and cancelled the horses insurance or never had it insured to begin with, get a farrier out to look at the feet, turn the horse away for six months then try again. As at present nobody is going to buy a horse for that amount that hasn't passed a vetting. Too many sound horses out there at that price for yours to be special enough to take a chance on.
Sorry if it's blunt but I just don't understand why you're complaining.
