NIGHTMARE FIRST TIME PURCHASE

[FrostKitten]

It's sad to hear there are people out there trying to scam others with such elderly horses, definitely overpaid. I hope you get the legal support you need OP to sort this mess out.

If it helps, for the money you are paying for this TB you could get a backed registered Irish Draught, ISH gelding or OTTB (one of the ones that never raced if you have concerns about breaking down), you'd probably be able to get a Welsh Section D or some warmblood type for the same money anywhere between 3 and 6-ish for the price assuming it's broken and maybe green(ish) but not got any competition history.

Where are you finding a backed RID or ISH for £2200?

I've seen a couple advertised for £2500, definitely not normal pricing but there are a few around.

You are way out of date on your pricing for a sound, sane, ridden horse in any of those categories except the ex racer, sorry.

Firstly , you where paying far to much for this horse .
Secondly , there’s no need for drama there’s a muddle And a situation you need out of sort it by texting or phoning her and saying of course you are upset but of course you will let her have her horse back tell the owner to return 1k and pick it up ASAP
You need stop being emotional about this it’s a horse you have had it a few minutes it’s not going to break your heart .
And never pay in instalments for a horse .

This about 10 thousand times over

I've seen RID foals and yearlings for that sort of price....

So this is a long story but I have been horsey all my life and wanted to purchase my first horse I had been look for a while and was approached my a lady who was looking for sell one of her horses a 24 Yr old tb gelding ex racer we agree I could view him which I did all went smoothly we had a contract where by I would pay 1000 pound upfront and pay the rest in instalments.

The horse arrived to me on the 26th on June and 2 days into me having the horse she decided she disnt want to give up ownership of him and wanted to loan him instead. She was going to come and have a chat with me in person to sort out a new agreement this HOWEVER NEVER HAPPENED this is now day 3 of having this horse who I love to pieces but I didnt agree to a full loan I agreed to a purchase which is no longer what she wants!!

Am I within my rights to have my deposit back!? I have said I want the money back she at first refused and tried to tell me I am not caring for him properly and she has welfare concerns!!

I am heartbroken.

She has now agreed to being the money but wants to check him Iver to check he's in the same condition he was when he left her and check all her tack is in the same condition.

What do u do if she refuses to give me the money??

I feel utterly stupid and it really has put me off buying again ?????

she has made a legal contract with you. Refuse to let her near you and take legal advise. A verbal agreement is still legally binding. dont let her con you

Just out of intrest..how much did you agree to pay for him?
£1000 is s lot of money for a 24 year old.

OP hasn't been on since 22 July so I doubt she'll be back.
