I was buying a horse and received a call to say it had been involved in a road accident and was horribly injured. Saw it out hunting a few weeks later with it's new owner who had doubled my price.

I bet if you rang up under a presumed name, he'd still be for sale at a much higher price...my guess is someone twigged who you were getting excited about on here, told the vendor, who played the trump card...and is/has sold him at a greatly increased price....
call me a cynic...but i've heard of this before................

Must confess I thought exactly the same, but didn't have the guts to post it! Freak accidents do happen we all know that, but the timing is incredible to the point of unbelievable in this case. For the horses sake lets hope it isn't true and he'll go on to lead a happy full life somewhere.
