Jason Day - Wiltshire Dealer

j day sells at very reasonable prices and his ads are honest.

because he sells at the cheaper end of the market i expect he attracks a lot of duff buyers and time wasters.imo

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!

Firstly thank you to everyone who has posted positive comments with regards to my horses.

Lopyloulou you must be refering to the bay 4 year old mare advertised on horsemart for £995. I have told every single person who rang up about this horse that she is recently broken and working quietly under saddle at walk and hacked out. I have told everyone she has not been over poles under saddle and she is cheap because she needs bringing on and further schooling but she is fantastic project for someone.

She is barefoot currently, has good strong feet, no cracks. She needs more topline, but obviously she is young and this will come with time and work = muscle build up. With regards to her mane, she came to me like that, what do you want me to do grow some mane implants????????? or extensions????? She was brushed, they all get brushed everday.


Please tell me how i came accross as a "dodgy" dealer???? Do you realise that slanderous and untrue comments that you are posting can ruin someones business??

I care about all my horses and i take great offence that you can post a comment saying that i do not. What makes you think i do not care for my horses??? Please tell me.

Clearly you were a timewaster, as you are saying IF i had the time or money to put into this horse??? IF????? She cheap anyway at £995, infact under priced.

I think slagging off a dealer like this on an open forum is a bit much...

If you have problems (bad ones) you need to go to the small claims court...

I dont know jason Day..... nor have met him just to add that.

But putting myself in his shoes being ripped apart on hHO is a bit harsh..... just my opinion ofc.
 
Let's not slate this man on a public forum.

I spoke to Mr Day earlier in the year when I was looking for a first horse type (I was having a confidence crisis at the time). As it happened, the horse I was interested in had just been sold.

Mr Day was very honest with me and actually gave me a lot of advice over the phone. He told me I would be under-horsing myself and would be bored within a month. He spent about 20 mins on the phone and I know he must be a very busy man, and he didn't have to do that - especially considering that I was not buying a horse from him.

So, thank you Mr Day, you gave me the confidence to get back on my bolshy warmblood and we are having a lovely summer together.
 
I bought a baby coblet from Jason three years ago now who was pretty much unhandled and nervous. Jason delivered him for me ("Splash" who became Ludo). When I realised that he'd forgotten to sign the passport, he popped by a few days later and was delighted to see how friendly and sociable Ludo had become and spent quite a while chatting with me and petting him. I would have no hesitation in buying another youngster from him again, except I've now relocated to Shropshire and before I only lived a few miles away in Wilts.
 
Thank you again everyone who has posted positive comments. It is good to know that people have been pleased with horses they have bought off me. Please post any photos you have of horses you have bought off me, as it is nice to see how they have turned out after leaving us.

I don't get that feeling from this thread at all. Everyone is always moaning that we can't say anything about dealers on this forum but when someone does, she gets shot down. The OP has a genuine grievance, but lots of satisfied customers have also voiced their support. This is why we should be able to talk about dealers, the genuine ones will always have people prepared to support them. Whilst I agree that the OP should have had her deposit returned by now, I'm impressed by the number of people who have had good experiences and would, on balance, still buy a horse from you Mr Day. Surely this is exactly how a forum should work.

The response to this thread would have been very different if it was about one of the genuine 'dodgey dealers' that we've all heard of.
 
Gosh what an old post :eek: Not the first time it has been brought back from the vaults.

Burning question for me is Did the OP get her £100 back or did Mr Day get to take the rest of the year off sick? (tongue in cheek)

Mr Day are you able to answer, as not sure if jason123 still posts on here? Seems to me that you have more happy customers than cross ones.
 
Does Jason have a website - would be interested as gently looking for a youngster and he seems to have more positive replys than bad ones - also mention of his horses being resonabley priced?
 
The other thing which I think is that if the yard is a bit muddy, and there isnt a school and the horses a bit scruffy then some people consider this cruel. Im a horrible horse owner mine live out 24/7 and if there is mud they have to walk through it and I dont groom mine every day infact only when I ride and sometimes im so cruel I dont groom all of them if I am just popping round the set aside.
People are always looking for a cheap buy but are not willing to put the work into it and if it needs work then it must have been a rescue case. Sorry big bug bare of mine there are a lot of horses round me that are "rescue cases" they arent they are horses that are either very green or young or genuinely nervous horses that havent been touched. Not bought from mr Day but I have paid a very fair price for my new girly and I know the road is gonna be long to get her going again but it will be worth it and I will enjoy doing the work but if I wanted a horse like her ready made I would be looking at 3-4k easy.

You are not going to get a ready made horse for £900. If you want a ready made horse cough up 3k :D

July 2008, aged around 2 and 13.2hh. Unfortunately, my circumstances changed and he was sold shortly after this pic and went to live by the seaside in Weymouth. But he was maturing beautifully... he'd been placed in the Youngstock class at Brinkworth show and we'd had some very good feedback from the judge about him too...
