Starlight, you went to see the horse......you looked him over, you tried him, you liked him, you bought him !!! End of story!! You seemed quite satisfied with him for twelve months, and the issue only came about, when you decided to sell him.
You were obviously happy to pay the asking price at the time of purchase. What I fail to understand, is why you believe you were mislead by the seller?? If you lacked sufficient knowledge to spot the dish and long pasterns at the time of purchase, then the owness is entirely yours.In view of the circumstances, it would have been wise to have taken an advisor/or had the horse vetted, before you bought him
I really think you can have no redress on this person and feel you should put the whole matter behind you and concentrate on finding a nice home for your boy. Good Luck

| I am afraid we all, at some time just have to put things down to experience, and move on. Good Luck |

Most of mine would fail a vet!
But I went to view them, liked them, saw them move, ridden if applicable, at liberty and took the risk knowing they'd not pass.
I have never had one vetted, except my stallion when it was neccessary to lisence him (luckily he passed  !) and probably never will.
I'd also be very wary if someone said a horse had passed - I'd want to see a copy of the vetting certificate before I parted with money.
Hope all works out OK and your boy finds a loving home.

Such a shame you feel so bitter towards the seller. As you were aware that the horse dished, it was apparent you were not purchasing him as a show horse. Had you told the seller you wanted him to show, then feel she would have been obliged to tell you of his conformation faults, before you went to view.
Vets do have to err on the side of caution, when vetting horses and regardless of your boy`s faults, there is no reason to think he can not lead a full and useful life as a ridden horse.

we made the opposite mistake and allowed the purchasers vet to do it with the result the offered price qwas silly because of the supposed faults .
I then paid an independent vet who passed him with flying colours except for a lat of fitness.
We live and learn. |

| I definitely believe in being truthful about temperament and disposition and any weird hang ups the horse /pony may have as these are otherwise only discovered when the horse/pony has been purchased. But it was not for the seller to point out the obvious - "the long pasterns". They are a clear conformational fault on show to spot if you are experienced! |

Hi starlight,
You are right! the picture I saw was the one on your profile! and you were clearly honest in your discription of him, (eg: he dishes)
I am sure a seller only has to disclose vices! not comformational faults,
It is always very difficult to go back to a seller long after the purchase,
He looks a lovely boy and I am sure he will sell when things pick up!

A word of advice on vettings, slightly off topic I know - but if you're going for the vetting, get X-Rays!!!
Hindsight is a wonderful thing is all I will say haha! |
