PLEASE READ - RECENT ISSUE WITH HORSE DEALER - NEED HELP

Hi, could somebody please pm me the details of the dealer in kent as I am currently looking for a new one for my daughter and am in kent !! Thanks
 
I am in a similar situation with a female dealer in East Sussex who's horses come from another dealer in Ireland. I was sold a horse which was suitable for a novice rider. He has been a nighmare since I have had him 8 weeks now! I can't mount him as he bolts and is scared of the mounting block, however I sent him away at great expense to a trainer, who said he had been very badly broken in. I spoke to the dealer who was meant to come up and help with the situation but was always to busy. However the horse came with a three month exchange. I have still be waiting for a suitable horse, I explained that I needed a older horse which was not green but so far have only been offered very young horses. I feel that she is stalling till the warranty has ended, so like you I will be contacting the standard of fair trading and will proceed with legal action as dealer like this need to be stopped! and will be naming and shaming her when this is all cleared up as I don't want anybody else to go through this has its been so stressful.

How very distressing for you and the poor horse, glad to read you are not going to let it rest, taking advantage in this way does so much harm all round.
 
Has anyone heard from the OP? I have sent a PM but with no luck. I am curious to know who may be involved, having had a not so wonderful experience with a dealer around that area. The cob I am looking for strangely fits her behavioural description- and the price matches up too! Probably a very long shot!
