Info on Turlood Stables

[FilipN]

Hello! I am looking to buy my first horse, I live up in Aberdeen and Turlood Stables near Glasgow always piqued my interest, however, I am unable to find any reviews par their own testimonials. Has anyone ever bought a horse from there or know anything?

Thanks!

Please be careful, you are fishing in shark infested waters! A first horse is best bought with a lot of help and support, & preferably by word of mouth. Especially if you've been looking a while the establishments where you can "slot into a system" and view several horses at the same visit, can be very tempting but are all usually best avoided. (I don't have personal experience of this one.)

I tried to buy daughter a pony from Turlood a number of years ago…dealt with Kate…I queried scabs on a pony..it was ringworm and Kate wasn’t happyId spotted it…want do you want for the price? remains with me. I also looked for me years ago when I first went to Scotland…Billy this time. He was more pleasant to discuss things with but nothing floated my boat at the time. I have met people on yards who have bought horses from them who are saints and others whose horses have had issues which appeared after a few days. Caveat emptor…use your head to buy and always get a vetting by an independent vet..just as you would anyway.
