Yup, the new purchaser was a silly chump wasn't she? Should have lifted the bonnet.

In fact, with hindsight it may have been helpful to us if we had encouraged her to have the horse 'vetted'. But we had no idea it would all go so wrong.

My daughter even travelled down to Sussex by train to try to sort out the horse for her after two or three weeks when he wasn't settling. Behaved OK and no sign of a back problem but not the horse he was when she sold him. Then it all gets thrown back in her face in such an unpleasant way.

It just goes to show the importance of using due process and contracts etc.

I personally would save your money on legal fees until you're forced to part with it. It is the purchasers responsibility to arrange a vetting not the vendors. Without a vetting they have no come back. They can huff and puff all they want but that's the reality and if it's the first horse they've ever bought some basic research would have advised them to have it vetted. You hear about identical situations all the time and whilst unpleasant they always end up in a dead end for the purchaser. It is "buyer beware" and bought as seen. Don't cave. She'll run out of breath eventually

A 16 year old can sue and be sued, but whether or not she could be sued for something that occurred before she reached 16 I couldn't say.

Are you sure as the minor was too young to enter the contract but the authorising parents or guardians would.

my view is that it is sight seen like a motor vehicle, as there was no intent to commit a fraud.

If I was buying a used car I would get an AA inspection before paying any money to the seller.

If I was buying a horse I would get a medical from the vet before paying any money to the seller.


You could call the Hay Hay for assistance.

This isn't my idea, I pretty sure I saw it on the telly once, but have you thought about removing the head from the said horse and placing it within the bed of the new owners as they slumber? Not only will this provide a powerful message that your daughter is not to be trifled with but it should also stop the problem of the horses bad back. I think it was Playaway.
