Thanks to you all Surprised a 16 year old can be sued, just goes to show you can't trust Google. The woman decided there was a back problem after my daughter put her in touch with the chiropractor. As thoroughbreds do it had tweaked itself a couple of times but no sign of a long term problem. Just wishful thinking from the buyer now she finds she can't handle a horse as well as someone that was 15 when she bought it. So she is trying to say there was an underlying back problem to force my daughter to buy the horse back. Meanwhile it is out of work and appears to be suffering muscle wastage. What really was outrageous is that she made the threat to take my daughter to Court right in the middle of her GCSEs, the night before two of her most difficult ones.

Talk to a solicitor, chances are that the emphasis is 'buyer beware', but there may well be special legal grounds that cover live stock and especially horses.

Did the buyer ask for and receive a recent veterinary medical report before purchase? If not then it's a case of caveat emptor. If so and the report was indicative of existing or potential problems, then again caveat emptor. 2 years after purchase is far too long for anyone to reasonably discover an issue that should have been reported/discovered at purchase. Personally I think that the buyer is attempting to bully your child into paying and wouldn't have a leg to stand on in any court.

I don't think a person of 16 could be sued. Legally they're a child and I'd be very surprised if you could take a child to court for something like that. But I'd get some proper legal advice if I was you Maple.

get proper legal advice. For what its worth, I'd tell her to crack on, as she won't be getting a penny. Further more I would also make it clear that if she harrases my daughter again over the matter (as a minor), you will class this as child bullying and inform the police, with a view to taking out an injunction against her contacting your "child". I imagine that will cool her jets.

As is so often the case, we are fortunate to have something of a specialist on the HOL who has made contact. The new owner has focused her attention on me and my wife for the timebeing. The initial contact was made to my daughter via facebook at 8.30 pm in the middle of her GCSEs, she came downstairs looking quite ashen. Fortunately she is a tough cookie and up for the fight. I will let you know how this unfolds, albeit I don't think the woman has any case at all. I had assumed she would by now have taken advice that told her that. I can only guess she thinks if she keeps writing threatening letters we will cave in and take the horse back. We will probably get a Letter Before Action, I may be wrong but I think they are relatively cheap to have written and look scary. Poor horse is actually really good but it's not easy keeping a thoroughbred so I am told. I don't know one end from the other, so stay clear of both.

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.

I once went out with a female solicitor who also owned a horse. I know she would insist on a vetinary inspection before purchasing a horse. She didn't like 'doggy', but loved me 'feeding the horse'. Hope some of the above is useful
