It seems I may have picked a sort of inappropriate name
I have never left a deposit on a horse myself, simply because vettings are not pass or fail anymore and I’m really sorry that the OP is out of pocket, but perhaps a lesson to be learned here fo us all.
I really wouldn’t care or worry. Only the furious one seems to have an issue with your user name. ðŸ‘😊It seems I may have picked a sort of inappropriate name
I’m not meaning to start an argument here, but can I just get something straight in my head.
OP, saw horse advertised, viewed and put £200 deposit down on horse to hold until vetting? Is this correct?
Seller did not let anyone view horse, therefore could have potentially lost a sale?
2 stage vetting held, vet did not fail the horse but suggested OP may have problems in the future? OP decided not to purchase horse?
Am I correct so far? Or have missed anything?
The seller initially refused to return deposit but is now blackmailing OP to remove this post and then she has agreed to refund?
But, and I’m not saying it’s something I would do as I would refund the deposit, surely seller could argue that she has turned away potential sales, may have to pay to re-advertise, livery costs etc and is entitled to keep the deposit as the horse didn’t ‘fail’ the vetting?

Off to Morrison’s for more popcorn 🤪
If you're getting at me I said the neck jumped out in one photo - it did - there was significant muscle under the neck which I wouldn't have been happy with myself - I did not say that I though that was why it failed the vet - try reading posts correctly before being spiteful.
What you're referring to is called an upside down neck/ewe neck. It's one of the most common and benign confo faults in horses which can be reversed with a lot of correct work. You'd be turning away a hell of a lot of horses if you think an upside down neck is a big deal.
ETA - sorry SHL just catching up. Will not post on this thread again and I really hope you get your money back!
Well folks, guess what..?! STILL NO DEPOSIT..!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Obviously I have submitted to the small claims court but it's been suggested to me to day (by some who knows a little of law) that I should call the BHS free legal team tomorrow for info on whether I might actually be able to claim for the vetting too. This is because there was another potential buyer who was interested at the same time as all this was going on that the seller lied to. They told this person (on the evening day of the vetting) that they'd constantly been calling me and I hadn't replied, then had called them to say that I couldn't get the rest of the money..!! They then told the buyer that horse was in perfect health with just a few minor scars on her legs..!! This buyer has sent screenshots of the conversation and is willing to write a statement.
Person I spoke to about legal stuff says this could show an intention to deceive. I don't know about any of that but because of the neice posting in the manner she has on here she will now be an unreliable witness to anything.
I have a witness statement, the vetting, the potential buyer statement, vet will also write a letter explaining the vet findings. Anything else I might need???
And we all played so nicely by not posting ðŸ˜ðŸ˜•ðŸ˜”
Perhaps the tax man might like to know.I should also add that because the seller admitted in front of me, the vet and my friend that they'd originally bought the horse to sell as they'd done a fair bit of dealing...going to Ireland several times a week in the past to buy horses to sell, that I may be able to claim under trading standards type law as dealing is classed as a business..??
I think (not positive) that you are classed as a dealer if you sell 8 or more a year by HMRC and subject to income tax on profits.
