Horse Details for Advert Reference HM904P3DE
This mare was bought for £500 by said Dealer 2weeks ago..She is not a 10yr old Warmblood!!!!!
Her name is Hollyfield and she's a 15yr old ex-racer..I know this Mare well and she was sold to breed from..
Advert was found by chance,previous owner has been informed as to this tradgic circumstance and trading standards are to be informed Monday.
Don't need any horror stories or "i told you so" because this is not my horse and i'm trying to help a friend who parted with this mare at the wrong time..
Any constructive help???

how sad she had to sell her for so little - are those pics of her with previous owner she looks a lovely horse? They look like Wix and Towerlands so local to me. I assume she went with a correct passport? was she microchipped? If so possibly the dealer has given her a new false passport to sell her with? I'm sure trading standards should want to hear about that

Haven't looked at the ad, it upsets me when horses get passed on like this. However, surely her passport is a Wetherbys so buyers would be aware? If she had been mine, I would be offering him £750 so he has made a quick buck and taking her home straightaway and I would then pursue the misdescription if your friend feels that way inclined but a place of safety for her would be my utmost priority. Home you get her back soon.

What a shame, and what a bloody crook if he's trying to pass her on to some unsuspecting soul as something she is'nt after buying her under false pretenses on top of that! She looks a nice mare, surely deserves better than this. I hope your friend took a copy of the passport she had when she was in her possession and has it to hand. One would hope it had whorls etc on it, and as my vet is so fond of saying, they can do allsorts of unimaginable things (even white markings can be doctored with a can of that stuff plumbers use for freezing water in pipes), but whorls are pretty conclusive evidence its the horse on the passport, as they cant move them!! Hope for the mare and your friends sake it is resolved soon.

Just looked at ad and did a google search on the contact number, this also brought up a landline of 01733 380499 - Peterborough number and as I thought the number for the delightful Paul Clarke of Wixstone Stud. Well know dodgy dealer around these parts, often at Melton Sales yard is just off A47 near Caster (Off A1 Wansford). Wouldn't believe a word he says - think ad surname is Croke or should it be Mr Crook?!?!!

OMG I knew I shouldn't have had that glass of wine! That link seems to take you elsewhere, hopefully this one will take you to the correct place www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showflat.php?Number=2817346&page=0 if not I googled Paul Clark Peterborough and found the horse and hound forum page. You can also find a website for Wixstone Stud!
