Purchased new horse on 26th of march . I had been to try him a week before. Rode in school, very quiet, asked owner to ride him out onto road which she did with her Dad walking alongside , just went into layby for 2 mins then came back, in total 10 mins.The horse stood quietly in the yard, people seemed genuine, had no reason to doubt this horse at all. my big mistake was that I DIDNT RIDE HIM OUT and have Ipaid for that.He is a completely different horse , in fact Iwould go so far as to say "HE IS DANGEROUS".have ridden him out both alone and in company, 10 - 15 mins into ride he spins round, backs up then rears and continues rearing . He refuses to go forward, backwards or move in any direction.Ihave to jump off quickly, frightened he may go over backwards.then lead him back to the yard , or should I say get dragged back to yard.This is every time he is ridden.contacted previous owner and of course this is all news to them, THE HORSE WAS A PARAGON OF VIRTUE when they had him. Iexchanged several emails with owners before I purchased him , all of which I still have, saying how good the horse is. On the receipt for my moneythey have written"SOLD ONE HORSE FOR THE SUM OF £1200, SOLD AS SEEN AND TRIED RIDDEN ON TRIAL RIDE".HOW DO I STAND?I am lumbered with a dangerous horse, which had Ihave been a novice rider would probably have killed me.
