Warning on dealers in Kent from Police....

The Police and RCVS have more statements and complaints than you can shake a stick at. It's been going on for years and those arrested have been getting away with it for a very long time.

So time to get your head from out of the sand, because it's not going to go away that easily ;) As said before, the Police don't release statements like that for nothing....

Final word from me on the dog thing - I'd rather deal with a vet bill regarding a dog than the one I had to deal with from a mis-sold horse....
 
From my one experience with these people the man involved was based in Hertfordshire
and the same horses were advertised twice, once with a Kent location/phone number and again with a Herts one. There seemed to be a fair amount of movement of horses between the two places.
 
Thats intersting, my horse came form Hertforshire, but was vetted in Kent. (I didn't buy him from the dealers, they are just some of his homes).
 
I know of a dodgy dealer in Herts, former squeeze of one of the arrested and I'm not surprised in the slightest that some horses were from Herts... Said dodgy dealer's mother runs a riding school in Herts... I tried one of his horses once and it was noticeably lame and promptly rejected by myself after chucking one of the instructors off whilst I was observing...

But Jodie3, the younger man who was arrested and in the Kent Police statement isn't from Herts, he's front Kent, 100%. However, I have no doubt that they were advertised twice, noting the above paragraph ;)
 
A few days late but there was a mention in the KM about the dealers but sadly no names attributed to the case which could prevent unsuspecting people going through these dealers. Can only assume nothing can be said until after the trial.
 
All we can hope is that people google dealers before visiting - if you google those who were arrested, their name pops up very close to the top as they're named on Epona's page ;)

I sincerely hope that everyone, and I do mean everyone, who has ever had a bad experience with these people, have formally complained to the police. It is no good moaning about something if you are not prepared to take action and back it up. Apathy is the friend of the bully. I can't understand why it has taken so long for these people to be brought to justice and how they are allowed to continue trading, when so many people have had wicked experiences. If they were rogue car traders, they would surely have been shut down by now????

I personally took one to court over a pony I bought and won. However the law is on the side of the perpetrator when the victim has to then pay to pursue the dealer to retrieve their money. She sent the court papers back marked 'Gone away'. At the time she was living with her boyfriend's parents so I could see the bailiffs turning up and there being nothing of hers in the house. It is still within the time limit to chase so now maybe a better bet.

In the end I am glad my daughter wasn't injured by the pony we bought but the whole experience was not nice. As someone said about the two girls (the other one had previously owned the pony I bought and became involved) they are not nice people and will try and intimidate.

Beware!
 
She, Poppy Eastwood if that is her real name and the rest of her gang should be exposed to the public as widely as possible. !!!!

It is terrible that she can get away with stealing thousands and thousands of pounds without her being convicted.

I know of many that have been scammed and if you want to see them then as posted above got to the facebook account " Scammed by Poppy Eastwood "

If you have been scammed by her then PLEASE join this group and share your story, strength in numbers and tell the police and crime watch.

Get these criminal on t.v and exposed !!!!

Jail time for them. !!!!:mad:
 
There is more than one Poppy Eastwood so I think you are referring to another Poppy.

The one Im talking about is originally from Kent and it is this one as even her mother has written to say sorry, check the facebook page out. All those people arent making it up !!!
 
I see there is a statement about Poppy Eastwood on epona stars but I haven't heard of her.

The police statement linked to in this post is not about her. See the epona stars facebook page post on July 10th 2012 if you want the names of the dealers it does refer to. I am helping police with their enquiries so I am sure about this!
