The age thing is an issue, i think a lot of novice types would buy from them as they specialize in heavy cobby types and perhaps wouldn't think to check....
I love little Loppy

I disagree with the dodgy dealer of course but why would people buy a horse without having it vetted? Why are they palming them off to redwings though? Bit confused about the 'broken bones' on the back leg though??

I think somehow people get an idea in their head that if its from a dealer it is a business so you don't need vetting- which is most definitely wrong!
people trust someone they think is a professional, it is such a shame you cant

Feeling a bit frustrated by this, so you buy a horse, don't get it vetted, when you find out it's broken you hand it over to Redwings! Hope they have got some proper advice coming up.
*disclaimer I did miss the bit at the start of Loopy, did they explain Redwings?

I'm sorry but you do mostly get what you pay for - £1k from a dealer for something 100% safe for a novice - it might be possible but unlikely !!
Oh and I totally agree with all of the above VETTING if you don't know what you're doing to be able to effectively do a vetting yourself !!

I am loving this piece by watchdog! Fantastic to have scum exposed for what they are...
Poor Queenie good on redwings, I know this is an excellent PR campaign for them, but good on them, so glad those girls can spend the rest of their days with them

No, I missed that. I thought he was maybe on about split bones but obviously not as those can be removed if needs be.

Poor horses.... they clearly are not good dealers.
But the show should not be giving the impression that you can by a good alrounder suitable for a novice for £1000!! That is SO naive!
And why are they not touching on the fact that these buyers should be taking knowledgable people with them for viewings AND a VETTING BEFORE purchase!!! It just makes the program such a disappointment in my eyes.

I couldn't work it out - he started talking about broken bones, but then was talking about a joint collapsing?

I assume that the BBC will be making a hefty donation to Redwings to pay for the care of both horses for the rest of their lives. - I bl**&y well hope so anyway!!
