A dealers view:

1997:

Horse riders could ride horses.

You learnt to really ride and when you fell off you got back on. You didn't sue, you either learnt to ride the horse you bought or you paid to have the horse schooled more or you learnt that you were screwed over, cut the losses and made sure you didn't repeat the mistake next time.

If you paid cheap money you realised you were taking on a project, that there was a reason it was cheap.

If someone went to the effort of taking a horse to shows. To schooling that horse. To jumping it around a few registered 1.10m classes you paid easily £5,000 upwards for it.

2017:

Horse riders don't seem to be able to ride to the same standard.

Riding schools have had to stop allowing a lot of the foundation equine education in fear of being sued.

If you buy a horse you can't ride you straight away come onto Facebook and slate the dealer. Even if you have owned the horse for months.

£1500/2000 should buy you a nicely schooled and well produced horse capable of jumping 1m+ and NEVER have a playful moment.

A project should be for pretty much free, and even the project has to be "safe".

How has the horse world changed so much.

A dealer nowadays has to almost turn every horse into a brain dead machine for it to be able to be accepted into the everyday market.

The sleepless nights a good dealer has worrying that even though you have worked your ass off on the horse and done everything possible to make sure you can stand over that horse, the fear that the slightest issue will result in your business reputation being shredded haunts you.

The hours of blood sweat and tears and financial cost that goes into making these machines to have very little financial gain can be heart breaking.

I seriously believe it has become a very sad world and it needs to change again.
