| It doesn't matter if she is or isn't, she can still 'lurk' so will have now seen the posts from people to send a friend to secretly buy him... :( She may now be wary of any buyer, in hindsight it would have been better for people to use the PM system. Lets just hope she see's sense and sells him back to Alison |

| Aragorn is not advertised as for sale on the current owner's website, it is very possible that he has a new owner. |

| I never saw him on her website anyway. I think he was only advertised on the Endurance Sites. |

| This person is a very well known dealer - you only have to look at her website... she buys arabs (often off this webiste) and sells them for a profit. I've often thought her mark ups were a bit cheeky but she's in business to make money. Lots of the horses she's sold have gone onto good homes and are out and about doing endurance successfully. There's no reason to think he won't end up in a good home. Presumably if you bought him back you'd have to sell him again anyway? What she said to you was not professional or pleasant but I imagine she read the original posts (or was told about them) and is less than happy at you bad mouthing her on a public website - hence why you got short shrift when you phoned the other day asking to buy him back. A clause in the sales contract giving you first refusal would have been advisable in the circumstances that you wanted to sell him to a forever home. |

| Well said Loosefur. Hes probably got as good a chance as any getting a great home being sold by this lady - possibly more since she is likely to know a lot about her 'market' and appears to deal in endurance horses. Sorry you were upset though, Alison. |

| I did much the same, sold her, totally regretted it and had to wait more than 3 years to get her back. I had a very cunning way of keeping tabs on her if she came up for sale, (can PM you details if you like, its easy). I have her back, and my heart still jumps each day when I see her. |

| The lady that bought Aragorn is quite careful about who she sells her horses to, I am sure he will find a good home and have a good life. He will also be well educated while he is with her - years ago I went on a weekend endurance course run by her, and she is very keen on the basics. |

I would have thought the point is, if this lady said he was in a forever home and she was keeping him, then as a professional dealer, this was in appropriate. Her comment about a grey horse having died was also really inappropriate in the context as stated.
I would have nothing to do with someone who misrepresented themselves, but if she never implied she was keeping him, just that he would be an endurance horse (with someone!) then she probably hasn't misled you. Would you keep him if you bought him back now? Good luck with it - its a difficult decision to sell at the best of times, I know. |

| Then it wasn't said in the context originally thought and wasn't to be taken that way. |
