Moral dilemma

[SpringArising]

Oh and your friend telling this dealer her suspicions really won't get her very far. If you do a little more digging on FB you will see the comments from this dealer about people he and she believe are time wasters..

If I were her I'd just be bloody thankful and counting my lucky stars that I was still in business. It seems she's not just a nasty piece of work when it comes to how she treats her horses either: http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Mum-daughter-stole-stables/story-21968481-detail/story.html

Dun Dealers are very popular unfortunately.

I spend a lot of time wondering if the kid actually goes to school too the amount of horses he appears on, and I hope he gets a cut

Friend is walking away. Like the horse but hadn't fallen in love with it and doesn't want to line the pockets of unscrupulous people when you could get a lovely horse from a lovely person.

The whole thing was weird, they didn't introduce themselves at all and kicked a dog on the yard really hard, not a nice thing to do and certainly odd when you have strangers there viewing a horse. I feel bad for the horse, I hope it finds a home to love it.

The trouble is I have no evidence of anything amiss. The other horses were in good condition and the rest all looked bright and interested over their stable doors. It was just the horse flinching when touched and a gut feeling that's the problem.

Your gut feeling should report these dealers or call WHW and get advice-they will advise for the best for these horses.....I culd not sleep at night knowing those dogs/horses were not treated properly and I knew about it.

Problem is they and all the other well known Dodgy Dealers have been reported many, many times and are still sonehow in business.

I've gained advice, I think the issue with this occasion is, there is no legislation that covers anything that may be happening at this place. The horses appear fed, watered, a good weight, healthy coats, turned out in the field with company, their feet are done. There was nothing that said the horse was sedated and no marks on the horse to indicate it was beaten. It was quite shut down and a bit flinchy but nothing that would fit into any animal welfare legislation. It was coming away and reading others reports on the place that made us wary rather than friends experience alone. The only way to stop this sort of business is likely to be action taken if a horse is fraudulently sold and action is taken.
