I have at last sold the 13.2hh beast!!!! The lady that has bought him is a little awkward to say the least. That is a different story. So my question is - I have a strange feeling that she is going to try and return him after the summer holidays so I'm thinking about getting a contract just to make sure. I have been 100% honest with her but just not convinced she's real. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with this.

So far I have

- Name and address of both parties
- Horse in question
- Horse is Sold As Seen
- Amount paid
- Date
- Witnessed signatures


Have i missed anything

As a private seller, once you have her money and she has your pony, that is the end of the deal.

All you need to do is hand over a receipt that describes the horse and the amount of money paid. The only witness that need sign the document is you and her.
 
Why do you think she might return him? She cant unless your a dealer, can she? Ive always just given a receipt for the money.
Thats why some dealers sell as private, you cant take it back. Or have i missunderstood?
 
If you are a private seller, they hand you the money & you give them a receipt describing the pony accurately & thats it he's theirs. It doesn't matter what they want to do in a few weeks time, as long as you described him accurately, that's why the accurate description in the receipt

, then it's over to them.

If you were a dealer it would be a different story.
 
You would be susprised how unpleasant people can make your life, even if you have a contract of sale. I had a fantastic horse that I sold, but always had an uneasy feeling about the girl that bought him - something just didn't sit right, and I had the feeling she just wanted a replacement for her other horse that was off with injury. Sure enough, a month later I got a call threatening me to take him back - she had phoned trading standards, solicitors, the works. I also contacted my solicitor, and trading standards, and they said that I was under no obligation to take the horse back, but because I knew where the horse would end up if I didn't, I agreed to take him - he found a new home a week later (I actually sold him for more money, lol) and his new owner loves him, and stays in touch.

Now, I always say that if your gut says no, no matter how much you need the cash, or need the horse gone - walk away and find another buyer.
 
Definately not a dealer - i hate selling them!!

She is just the type of person that i think would make it very difficult if she wanted to send him back.
