Well I think a lot of my friends on here will know that I sold my beautiful boy Aragorn (strider) just a few weeks ago I have since been made aware that he was up for sale within 3 weeks of selling him, after being told he would an endurance horse. Any way I have phoned today and offered to buy Strider back at the price she is asking. Seller was very unpleasant on the phone and concluded the conversation by saying a 'Grey Arab had just died', while we were discussing Strider so to insinuate it was my beautiful Boy and hung up on me. Now this is just completely out of order, and as Strider is completely fit and a stunning boy I am very distressed that she will not sell him to me at the price he is advertised at and feel completely blown away by her attitude, after we agreed to keep in touch!!! I will be speaking to my Solicitor next week and taking this much further.

So sorry to hear your awful news. You must be out of your mind with worry. Is it worth getting a friend to go along and buy him back for you?

Hi Alison, I know exactly how you feel. I sold a mare to the person who had loaned her for three years, last August. The home was a good home and I felt happy to sell her. However, four months after selling my mare, I saw her advertised on an internet website. We rang up about her and my husband went up with the trailer the next day. We bought her back, looking very sorry for herself and covered in rainscald.
She has now made a complete recovery, sadly I am not in a position to keep her but will make sure she has the best possible home, even if it means me loaning her out on a long term loan (with all the necessary checks and contracts in place). At least that way, I will always be able to secure her future.
Good luck and hope you are able to get your lovely boy back, even if it means somebody else buying him on your behalf.

Alison this is awful for you!! I really feel for you trying to get your boy back and well done for that.
To suggest and even say a grey arab died!!! Why??? That is deplorable, between that and what has been done to that poor foal what are these people all about!! Sick.

| I don't wish to add to your troubles, but unless you made an agreement with her when you sold him ( in writing preferably) that you would have first refusal if she decided to sell him, then a solicitor will not really be able to help you. The fact that he has been advertised for sale is an 'invitation to treat', she does not have to sell him to anybody that she chooses not to. |

| Fee I love you!!!, why oh why would someone suggest that my beautiful boy had died??, very very sad - 'just checking up on him'' as any past owner would do, and as I believe we all do in the Arabian world to the best of our ability. Just not sure what I can say say now, so so sad that someone that appears so professional is the complete opposite of what they say even though I believed that I had done done all the the homework before I sold him. But after the dire conversation of today which leaves me staggered and stunned I will just try and get my horse back as |no longer have any trust at all in the buyer of Strider(aragorn) I want my horse back now. I have phoned you on several occasions and you will not enter into a conversations with me regarding Strider saying he is not for sale, yet I have seen the ad you have on SERC with my pictures. Don't know what you are up to but please just have the decency to tell me what is happening |

How horrible, you would think if she was having problems with him she would be glad you wanted to buy him back. I know I would if I had a problem with Kirstie.

I have the impression from Alison's last post that the current owner of Strider is a member on here.........So here is a message for you
Alison has offered to buy Strider back for the price you are asking in your advert, I do not see the problem? Why would you want to get a bad name on here and amongst the Arabian fraternity over a horse that you clearly do not want now and have advertised for sale??
Whatever your reason for now not wanting Strider, do the decent thing and let Alison buy him back, you get the asking price and Alison gets her boy back, end of story..... Thank you for doing the right thing. |

I dont think the buyer IS a memeber on here so she is unlikely to see it , however I do know of the person and she makes no secret that she is a dealer, she has in the past bought a crimbo son ( not from me) intending to bring him on and sell him which she did . however if she has been offered the price she is asking I dont see the problem. as others here have said it would be easy for you to get someone else to buy him back for you. good luck.
she normally deals in endurence horses. |

I think the person who has him at present also has a gelding for sale on the sales pages, do they not have to be a member to post an advert?
Hope you get him back Alison.
