Smokey was recently sold to Kent as a light hack/companion. He has ongoing lameness issues that need to be carefully managed, this was fully discussed with his purchaser who had previous experience of the condition. Within a couple of days arriving in his new home he was apparantly assessed by two Vets and his lameness was deemed to be so severe that he needed to be pts.
His previous Owner was understandaby devastated and made arrangements for him to be returned and the new Owner reimbursed/refunded. His travelling costs were paid up front and arrangements for delivery dates, times etc confirmed.
It then came to light that Smokey was being advertised on Horsemart for three times his original price with no mention of his limited use. He was advertised as a bombproof family horse, suitable for a novice!. His return home was subsequently cancelled in a brief telephone call advising that Smokey had been sold elsewhere.
We are very concerned that Smokeys new owners may not be aware of his recurring lameness due to spavin, he has been receiving ongoing veterinary care for the last two years.
If anyone has any information of him I would really appreciate it if you would pm me as this was a very sad sale and we need to know that he is okay or otherwise.
Smokey is a 16.2 piebald irish draught cross. He is mainly black with four white feet/legs. He has a distinct white flash on the shoulder on his near side.
