Sorry for the long thread!
I sold my horse 4 weeks ago, the new owner had met him about a month prior and ridden him and fallen in love. She asked me if she could LWVTB, I told her she could trial him at my yard but I didn’t want him moving as you just hear horror stories.
she told me she had never owned a horse but had one on loan that was retired and was currently sharing a horse. She bought a very knowledgeable friend a long with her who was at the same livery she would be moving to. She tacked him up fine but I told her he can blow out for the girth and she didn’t tighten it up so when she cantered him the saddle slid, other than that it was a nice ride.
I also had offered from a mother and daughter and a dealer who were interested in paying the same price for him but I really liked this girl.
She asked me if I was open to a vetting and I said yes (she never mentioned it again). He was late on his vaccinations and because of the covid-19 situation wasn’t able to vaccinate him and she wasn’t prepared to wait so I offered to pay for them in a few months.
she moved to a DIY yard, not the original yard she had planned to, in less than 48 hours she ran him through an electric fence after trying to catch him for 2 hours. One of the things I told her is he can be a pain to catch if he’s got a lot of grass and told her to keep his head collar on which she didn’t. The yard owner rang me and told me she was a complete beginner and this horse was inappropriate, I sent her over all the screen shots of me describing him and her initial enquiry where she says she’s a knowledgeable horse owner. And the yard owner agreed with me that she had been dishonest. Riding wise I consider him to be a novice horse, however he can have his moments. I’m a nervous rider and hacked him out alone often. However he could be stubborn on the ground.
I offered her the details of the people who were also interested in buying him which she didn’t want, I had her and the yard owner messaging me every other day. And now I’ve had a message saying the vet suspects he’s got something wrong with his back (never showed me or his sharer any signs) and now she wants a full refund and to keep him.
I told her absolutely no way but the situation is getting really silly and making me feel so stressed and anxious, especially for the horse. She really cares about him but she’s not been honest to anyone in the situation, especially the yard owner. And she thinks she knows it al, I’m worried about someone getting hurt.
