The dealer that cannot be named

I'm not on Facebook so only limited to what I can see but I have also noticed as of last week they have stopped sending horses on trial which is a good thing for the horses at least. She is more of a local dealer to me but I've always scrolled past her adverts,.even though some of the horses she has in are gorgeous. Any dealer who claims to have lots of horses the same (always safe sensible good to handle etc) never sits right with me. The amount of horses dealers get in very few are actually the safe and sensible ones. I feel so sorry for the horses being passed around when they done the trials.

A friend of a friend recently had a palomino gelding off her, advertised as safe happy hacker ideal for a novice rider. He wasn't, he was terrified of everything,.even the saddle being put on panicked him. He was very spooky being ridden. She took him back after the trial not an issue but again was paid back bit by bit. Unfortunately I have a feeling she will just try and rebrand as a different name and carry on

I wonder if your friend of a friend and my friend are one and the same. My friend had a palomino off said dealer, advertised as calm and safe. Very much wasn’t. She returned horse no problem but had a fight to get the money back.

Quite possibly. The horse was called teddy and it was around November time

Nah, different person. Horse was called something else. But it was around that time (I think). There have been so many….

My pal showed me the sales video they made of the horse. He looked steady and sensible in the video. God knows how they pulled that off. Drugs? Very ballsy riders who can make a horse look alright?
 
There is no requirement or system for dealers to be licenced. Also, some of them who appear to be dealers are actually agents (sales livery). I have also seen these agents acting on behalf of clients who themselves are dealers. The waters are very murky.
