My view is that if the horse is owned by the vendor and it is a condition of sale is that it has to be jabbed, then it is up to both parties to agree at the time who pays, or adjust the price accordingly, ie the price goes up by £100. Otherwise the purchaser is effectively asking for a discount of £100. It may be that a purchaser does not realise the costs involved, but the vendor should point it out to her.
In the case of a jab I think the owner should arrange the jab as a vet should not be jabbing a horse owned by another party without making sure the other party is in agreement.
At this early stage, the passport will generally show the keeper's name not the new owner.
This sort of thing is a relatively minor difficulty, I think the idea of sending a registered letter was the cause of escalating the problem to the distress of both parties, presumably.
If, as may occur, someone wanted to buy a colt but wanted it cut on the premises of the vendor, in my view they either pay for the colt and have it cut on the premises of the vendor, thus taking on all responsibilty for complications and bills
OR say to the vendor that he must cut the colt then he will buy it, this can prove difficult if he then backs out of the sale.
If if the operation has complication, for example undescended testicle, what then, it was sold as a colt, and still is, but can't be cut.
