Last year I purchased a Spanish Breed from a Dealer. The horse was advertised with her registered name. I went to view and try the horse and decided to purchase. This was done by paying a deposit (£600) and paying off the rest in instalments under a agreement which was provided by the seller, stating the Registered name of the horse, chip number and a print off of the passport. When I had paid half of the balance I was allowed to collect her which I did. She was not as described once she had moved and not as advertised. I had mentioned to the seller on several occasions that she was def not bombproof or laid back. She went into training for two weeks and the trainer confirmed this. I paid the balance off pretty quickly and the passport was sent. I had researched her breeding previously and her pedigree was fantastic. Jumping a few months i have had a new trainer out who had trouble with her backing up, and putting in a few bucks so decided to get a dentist out. I wanted the vet present in case she needed sedation and also to fill in a form for a UK registry as she is unregistered here. I had also decided to sell due to personal reasons and wanted everything in order. I provided the vet with the forms and passport and she firsly noted that the horses freeze mark wasn't present in the diagrams in the passport. Then to top it off the chip number in the passport dosent match the horse. I was advised to contact the dealer as until now we had stayed in touch, swapping emails and texts about the horse. She contacted me the nxt day to say I had the wrong passport! So the horse I had was a completely different name, different breeding, different dob, and that meant she had the horse that my receipt, passport, dob and breeding belonged to! I have the horse I viewed but I paid for the horse who's passport I have and the one named on the receipt. To her this isn't a problem, she thinks swapping passports will be enough, but I paid for a horse called ....... And it's breeding and have emails, texts, receipts for that horse! She has the horse named on my passport who I find out is u rideable and a broodmare, who's foals don't have the breeding buyers thought. I am absolutely amazed that someone who calls themselves highly thought of could not notice or realise this huge cock up. I now have a horse I can't sell because I have no passport and I don't in fact own! I'm raging mad. I have asked for a refund and for the horse to be taken back but it's been refused so I'm taking advice. The horse I have is not insured now because the horse I own is not the one I paid for.
