Jason Day - Wiltshire Dealer

Many thanks to everyone who who sent a post in support. Whilst some of you do not think I should be making a fuss over £100, I am sure if it had happened to you, you might think differently. The said phone call to which I was not party is a side issue which whilst regrettable did not take place until I had been chasing patiently and politely for the return of my deposit for over 3 months.
 
I'd be spitting about the £100. Good luck with getting it back. How hard is it to put a cheque in the post? C'mon Mr Day, give it a go, stamps are quite cheap.

Having your husband phone me and state (threaten) to me in no uncertain terms "that he will send a couple of blokes down from Coventry, to make sure that I could not work until the end of the year" to quote your husband. This seriously impedes my enthusiasm to refund you your deposit (very small cash deposit of £100) or communicate with you.

Your post is most certainly defamatory and i will be onto H and H admin in the morning. We do not trade from a "field" as you are stating, we trade from a small stable yard, which you well know as you came to view the horse at the yard. So why you feel it necessary to say such an untrue comment as they trade from a "field" i find very strange.

I'm not sure that the post is deformatory but OP should have just asked if anyone had a contact adress unless someone had asked for a reason.

I'm affraid Jason that whether or not her husband did threatened you the money is still the OP as you didn't send the horse(rightly, as it was lame.) 3 months is a long time and if I was looking to buy a horse I would certainly want the money back as soon as possible. I don't think it is worth you risking you reputation because the husband threatened you, IMO it would be better for you to rise above it and get the money in the post as soon as you can.

I think 3 months is more than long enough for someone to return a deposit if they are going to, and I also would be worried after that amount of time. As for people who say ' why post on here and put him through this' the answers imo is obvious, he's responded....

Where previously he hadn't ( according to OP and her side only ).

Her partner getting abusive is unfortunate but sounds like it was sheer exasperation.

Mr Day - give the money back and put this to bed.
 
Good God, didnt realise you had dragged this on 3 months Mr Day, no wonder the husband give you abuse down the phone, you asked for that by not giving them their money back.
Why not just give it back are you so hard up you need to keep it!!!!!!!!! And as for those saying OP made a big thing over £100, so she should, that takes a bit of earning, I would want it if it was £20, its the principle of, that he has somthing that doesnt belong to him, therefore should give it back. On the other hand OP I would not of let this go on 3 months.
 
I have never heard of the dealer or had anything to do with dealers, but looking in on this situation from the outside, whether this chap has a good reputation or not it seems pretty obvious to me that if he had intended paying the deposit back, then he would have done straight away.

I can only assume your OH only got ratty with the dealer when after repeated phone calls you still didn't get the money?
Come on HHO's if this chap intended paying back then he would have done by now....3 months is a joke, and if that was me I would be bloody livid too.
 
I have to say - a £100 is my hay for the winter- I would want that back if someone had kept it. I think stopping a horse from travelling because it is lame is very honest- but keeping the £100 is very dishonest - and for three months! I would not be impressed, in fact I would be suss that that was the intention all along. I think this issue could be very easily and simply resolved. We all moan about companies 'taking' £10 here and there in deposits and charges, so I think the OP has a right to track down £100 I would have to work for two days to earn that.
 
Thanks again for your posts. Indeed the matter could easily be resolved if Jason would be kind enough to return my £100 deposit which he has now confirmed on the Forum that he has withheld without valid reason for over 3 months.

if you are causing this much fuss over a hundred pounds do you really think you can afford a horse ?


Sorry but £100 is her money, she did not get the horse she left it for. Therefore it is a matter of principal to have the deposit returned. It in no way reflects, in my opinion, her ability to afford a horse. I think that this lady seems to be being told off for standing up for her rights!
 
To all the people who think £100 is not a lot, can you please send me £100?

Ravensrose I hope you get your money back, there is simply no excuse for hanging on to it.
 
Come on Mr Day, cough up. I have always had an open mind about you and TBH have thought you pretty much ok, would be very interested to know whether you pay up or not. (oh and incidentally, £100 is A LOT of money to me and obvioulsy it is to Mr Day as well, think of how much he could make if he did this a few times).

To all the tools who suggest £100 is "nothing" then I would like to provide you with my paypal account details, where you can each pay me £100, why not? Its nothing, really!!

apes.

Money owed is money owed. It seems like Mr Day will be paying it back so end of story now -hopefully.
 
Hi I found Jason's adverts on HorseMart and liked a couple of his cobs so did a quick Google seach on his name and this thread came up.

It would seems he does have some happy customers so please could someone say if the issue of the £100 was ever resolved?

Many thanks
 
Thank you ever so much for responding Woeisme - I don't know how you managed to find my question as I couldn't see this thread at all and had to "Search" for it even though I knew it was here!

Nevermind, I'm sure I'll learn

Anyway, thank you again I shall give him a go!
 
I don't know if this has been solved or not but I went to see one of his horses the other day and his 'other half' had 'left' her documents in the car and 'taken the dog for a walk'. He also didn't have anywhere for me to do more than walk her in circles...Yes he did however, there was a fields with jumps in it...

I asked him ot trot her round in a circle (not being ridden) with tack on and when he tried to get her to trot she wouldn't. He said it was because she was 'too hot'. However, I think that it is because she is **** footed. Which he failed to mention... Anyway she had been walking around in circles without anybody riding her for about a minute...so if she got hot in that time then she's incrediby unfit. She also had no muscle or fat on her back or bum and her mane was damaged. She looked and felt as though she hadn't been brushed in a while too.

If I had the time or money to put into it I would buy this horse and get it away from him but I don't have either.

Keep away from this dealer...He is extrememly dodgy and he does not care about his horses!
 
It wouldnt matter how much time or money I had....I certainly wouldnt fuel this trade by buying things I felt sorry for.
 
Sorry but he buys and sells horses and does a very quick turn around, ims sure he doesnt care if you think that of him, ive seen a lot worse dealers, ive bought from him before and i would again - when i got my horse he wasnt in the best shape but most of them are very young and very cheaply priced, what do you expect?

Sorry to bump this up but i had to comment :)
 
i have to say, it was very uncalled for for your husband to threaten mr day n that way, i would have been reluctant to make any contact at all had that been me in his position, and being a dealer would have refunded the deposit in person if possible to make sure it reached the hands of the right person, as and when it was financially viable, please bear in mind as a dealer he has a number of horses to look after and as £100 is not a small sum of money, maybe it has not been financially or physically viable, although i can understand that you would want to recover the money asap.
 
i bought a horse from jason last year without viewing him,as i live so far away.i sent a cheque and the horse was sent without any trouble.jason had owned him for over a year and he was very well looked after! i would have no hesitation in buying from him again,or recommending him to anyone. his prices are very good in comparison to similar horses and he has some lovely animals.everyone comments on my appaloosa, on h&h show site under appaloosa first show. ps jason,only issue i have is trying to find his sire's address and would like you to help if possible.thankyou linda.
 
I'm not sure where this post has been dragged up from but I often see his horses advertised and can only add that they are all very fairly priced. I'm thinking about taking a trip up to wiltshire and buying one to bring on myself. If this post has only attracted a few number of negative comments I draw my own conclusions as he seems to have a high volume of horses going through his yard. He had an exceptionally breed friesian back along, i was very tempted.
