Hi all, right after much delibiration i decided to put my horse up for sale an get something abit smaller as i feel over horsed which is doing nothing formy confidence, anyway he went to a lovely man two weeks ago and i was really chuffed he had gone to sucj a nice home until...............................

I got a phone call on Sunday from the man who bought him ranting an raving at me down the phone, saying that i sold him a dodgy horse and that he wasnt happy!! the man never got him vetted, but i did when i bought him, so i did show him the 5 stage vetting from last year when he came to see him so he new he was fine. he has been spot on all the time i have had him and never had anything worng at all.

So anyway i asked the man what was wrong and he said he is having problems with his back legs and that he has got a massive lumb on one of them, so i was worried and said, has he been kicked? or fallen? or anything like that?

To which he then replied ooooohh well actually yes, last week when it was really bad weather all the other horses was chasing him and he has a really bad fall an went through the fence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS LIKE WAHT!!!!

So here he is trying to blame me that i had sold hima bad horse and then tells me that!! i am just so upset as i was gutted that i had to sell him anyway but i dont want this man causing me loads of trouble and wanting him money back!

Any advice on what i should do would be great? sorry for the long rant.

Providing you are a private seller he has no come back on you. He has admitted the horse had an accident in his care so it is nothing to do with you. If he rings again tell him politely but firmly that it is nothing to do with you and not to call again. If he persists tell him you will report him for harresment. It really is not your concern anymore. Do make a record of any contact with him though.
 
I would avoid any contact with him at all,you have done nothing wrong by the sounds of it!I would personally make a note thow of any conversations that you have with him,making sure you write things down in great detail,what you said what he said etc.
However the horse was clean limbed when it left you and he also did not get the horse vetted,this will rule out any sort of legal action i would think??
See what other guys on here think also???The may well be someone on here that has been in this situation before!!
 
He has bought your horse & not bothered to have it vetted although you have shown him your old vetting form. He has admitted that the horse has had an accident whilst in his care & it is highly likely that the injury occurred then. He has no come back on you at all. You should suggest to him thathe gets the vet out to examine the horse with a view to treating the injury.

If you bought a vase from a shop, bought it home & a couple of weeks later you dropped & smashed it would you expect the shop to replace it or give you your money back.....No you certainly wouldn't. The person has no claim on you at all.

I appreciate that you will be concerned for the horse but it is not your problem.
 
Thanks guys i just worry about it all really, all the people on myyard have all said that the horse left this yard sound and was iin brilliant health.

I think i will just ignore it if he rings again, like you said it is awful to say but it has nothing to do with me anymore.
