Hi all
Wondered if you could give me some advice...
My mums friend has bought a horse for her 13 year old daughter. She paid £200 with the remaining £800 on a monthly payment plan (don't know why she did this)
Horse sold from the field. Got it home. Wormed it. Got back lady out to check it before bringing back into work and turns out it is in a lot of pain somewhere in its back (don't know detail sorry). Got vet to look and vet agreed it's in a lot of pain considering hasn't been worked for 12 months.
New owner did some digging and turns out this horse has done something in the past, again sorry I don't know what exactly but whatever it is the person that sold the horse obviously knew this.
Anyway, the point being that this horse isn't how it was advertised. Can't be brought back into work and is potentially dangerous from what I can make out...
The old owner (call her A) will not answer the phone to my mums friend (call her B).
B has written to her asking her to take horse back. A is ignoring..
A hasn't provided B with horses passport, presumably as she doesn't want B contacting previous owners and finding out history.
A has lied to B saying that horse had a full body check two months ago by her vet but B checked with vet and this didn't happen.
So B is stuck with a horse that she can't bring back into work and she can't sell as she has no passport.
She neither wants a field ornament or a brood mare, although with a back injury I doubt she'd be suitable anyway.
WWYD ...? Take it to As house and leave it there, have horse PTS...?
Views please as B is at her wits end
