Has anybody been to this place, or bought a horse from them?? If so what is place like and horses for sale. Have visited website many times, but there never seems to be many new horses on. There is one i like the look of but, after getting horse buying wrong before, i am wary now.
If anyone has first hand experience of this place, i would appreciate info
PM me if preferred

Thankies in advance!!

You can buy a horse unseen from the dvd, or you can go and view, but it's saturdays only, or fridays by appointment. They never seem to answer the phones though, which is a bit annoying, as if i am thinking about driving all that way to see a horse, i would like to know a bit about it before i go
 
If i wanted a safe horse i'd find a nice person who for some reason horse needed a new home, they will no the horse. Trouble will dealers is they dont. They don't know there past expierence. Still don't get why they stick such a price of some thing just besause they say its safe! Remember these people saw a space in the market and are selling to make money they arn't totaly interested in whether he's going to a suitable home.
 
I had a look and consdering the prices, although the website is lovely sombody riding one of the horses was in trainers and no hat, just seems dodgy to me if they're meant to be profesional or anything. And the £9500 cob, he may be rather nice but not a patch on my old cob (bias I know

) And he was sold for a smidgen of that price and he could have gone affiliated jumping wise, and had a brilliant showing record. I wouldn't buy from them having seen their site and hearing how difficult they are to contact.

There not far at all from me although i ve never been i thought they sounded a bit dogey, with the whole viewing times and dvds etc... since when can you only view horses on certain days?! Also saw that cob for 9500, it didn't look a bad cob but i wouldnt pay even half of that for it! All their horses seem very over priced!
 
I guess i'll forget that idea then. Was actually looking at the 17.2hh, and do agree they ask serious prices for all their horses.
If anyone knows of a super safe, sensible ponio around 17.2 please PM me. Must be 100% in all traffic, not rear, buck, bolt, nap etc, etc.
I know, i know, not advertising, just asking!!!
 
Someone on another forum has just been to see one of their horses and wasn't impressed with the place at all. Plus they could only walk\trot the horse up and down the drive as the dealer/owner wasn't actually there.
 
Stay clear hun!

Also if its Mr Frazier you are talking about well I would stay clear.

Horses on that site seem to have the worst conformation ever and Ive seen a few sent back and sold under a different name, to be honest there arent many horse on there I would say are worth over £500!

safecobs.com have a better reputation but not sure thay have anything of that size in at the mo.
 
Dont touch with a barge pole, i have heard (and been stung) about awful stories of horses bolting, rearing and one girl actually got thrown so badly she broke 4 ribs!
They wont return them etc.

Stay well away!
 
To be honest most of the horses look half dead thats probably the only reason why they are quiet, wouldnt surprise me that once they were wel looked after with new owners they turned out to be dangerous.
 
As a trainee solicitor, i looked at their T&C regarding returning them if they werent suitable and there were none! nothing about how it would be done, would you have to pay for return transport etc? Also noticed there were no testimonials....Hmm im not sure. If i went i would take a few people with me and get everything written down or recorded as evedience. But personally i would buy from a private seller.
