would this be a cheeky offer?

a while ago I posted about the horse I bought four months ago having DJD.
so it turns out that it was missed when we got him and he's not suitable for what we bought him for.

now, I was considering offering a small amount for him seeing as he can't be insured and I'd have to pay for treatment.
do you think it would be cheeky to offer around £1k for him so I can keep him?
he's a 6yo ISH with decent lines and a cracking personally.

am I mad to consider keeping him? :o
 
Sorry do you own the horse currently? and your trying to return him?

I dont see why if he isnt suitable for what you want why you would keep him?
 
I'm not really understanding your post. You say you've bought him but want to offer £1k for him. I'm confused.

no no.. he had djd when we bought it and it was missed.

rather than return him for a refund, I want to offer £1k to keep him

Well, you have no guarantee that the dealer will take him back. But it won't hurt to ask. I'd be really surprised if they said yes though.

I see from a previous thread on djd that the horse had two vettings. How did that work?
 
Have you been offered a refund? the sellers are being very generous if they have as you had it vetted it is not their fault the condition was not picked up.

As for your offer of £1k it will depend on what they feel the horse can do if they get it back, they will probably take it but may not on principle if they think they it can still do a job for them.
 
So what you are actually saying is that you can get a full refund but would like to accept the full refund less £1000 in order to keep him?

Is that likely? And why would you?
 
OP I have read the original thread you had about your horse. Am I correct in saying that you have owned him for 4 months, and he passed a vetting without xrays when you bought him? But you have since re vetted and xrayed in order to insure him and the insurers are not happy with the xrays?

If the above is correct I am at a loss to understand this post?:confused: Why would the people you bought him from take him back and refund you after you have owned him for 4 months? I can't see how this would be achieved, let alone you try and buy the horse 'again' for just £1,000 off them?

I bought a horse that had two vettings - one by me and one by the dealer who had bought the horse a week before. Certainly helped a lot when I had to claim for LOU shortly afterwards!
 
Would the seller take him back for a refund? if he would, then an offer of £1k may be accepted, as he would otherwise have a problem selling him on. If you don't ask you won't know, be careful tho that you don't compromise your rights if he is a dealer.

it was missed on the initial vetting and picked up when we went to
insure him.

the dealer has agreed to take him back.

Ah, just seen that you did not have a pre-purchase vetting.

Well, if they're happy to have the horse back, ask them if you can keep him for £1.
 
Don't ask, you don't get.

I'd give them the price I was prepared to pay with the reasonings why.

I'd also consider (if you are looking for another that does what this one should) that you may find dream horse and then be 1k short...
 
How bad do they think it is? Would they be able to sell him on to do another job? Just wondering if 1k might be too much but then again the dealer has been very nice to take him back - I assume you bought him for a fair bit of money and he is trying to uphold a reputation?
 
Nope never mind !! That was someone else's post. Why not :) there's no harm in asking. Why is he being sent back ? Is it permanent and going to cost a lot of money to medicate ? As he may not even be worth 1000.

So if you're rejecting the horse but the insurance paid out for LOU, then you get a refund from the dealer, then you want a horse that isn't capable of doing the job you want and you want to offer the dealer £1000 for it?

I think that's really cheeky, especially when it's the vets fault and not the seller.

I think you need to explain better!

Dixie is not the OP! OP found the problem with x rays required by insurance co, not those done with vetting.

Clippy I thing you are confusing the OP's post (Blood-magic) and Dixie...they are two entirely different matters and two entirely different posters and not connected in any way?:confused:
 
Ok - so i have a horse vetted - i do not have x rays done - i buy horse and wish to insure it for a value that the insurance company want x rays. I have x rays done - and now i want to return horse - or offer to keep for a grand......
