I can count on the fingers of one hand how often mine have lost shoes in the last 10 years but its seems as soon as a horse is for sale, they start to lose them right left and centre. 6 times now, I've had viewings lined up only for horses to "lose a shoe" the day before and the viewing cancelled. On 5 of these occasions the horses have then been sold before I could get to see them, even though I've arranged to see them the day after (or even the day in one case) they're supposed to be being shod. I know the one was genuine as you could see the marks in his hoof where he'd pulled off the shoe but it's pretty obvious the other horses have been sold subject to vetting and rather than tell me that, the sellers are putting me off in case the horse fails the vet - which I can guarantee they wouldn't tell me either, they'd just let me spent ££££ on a vetting hoping for a different outcome or hope I don't want to vet. I hate hate hate this horse shopping.
No point to this really. Just so fed up how dishonest people are.
