| I just saw a horse advertised on here that we went and looked at vetted the horse and it failed, it then had surgery and now is re-advertised with NOTHING being put in ad. Once you have knowledge of something you are supposed to DISCLOSE!!! |

| I always thought it was buyer beware. The seller didn't have to disclose anything.
Also if the problem was corrected by surgery, then the horse should not have the same problem, so why would they need to disclose that in the ad? |
|

|
| Because the problem isn't that simple...the surgery was a fix, it wasn't 100% fix, the problem can re-occur, that is why we chose not to purchase. Also if it was that SIMPLE why NOT disclose in the ad, that hey there was a problem, I fixed it.

Exactly. You don't have the right to judge anyone. For all you know the seller is in fact disclosing it privately.
Try buying a house once :) |

On a case by case basis some things you disclose upon inquiry some things you disclose in the ad... |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Why are we jumping on her for expecting someone to be honest? Most of the times it is wishful thinking, but hey, I wouldn't get mad at the OP. I have a gelding that would be impossible to sell if I put everything about him in the ad. When someone contacts me about him, I tell them everything I know about him. His good and bad. If you start off an ad by saying, well he's really short and not very fast ect. you'll scare everyone off. I'm not selling him as a barrel horse so why would I start off by saying all that? |

if it required surgery it may be to many words to put in a explanation in a ad.. |

I wasn't jumping on her. I was letting her know not to judge the seller by the ad because she doesn't know how she is disclosing anything via email. And my house comment was about the lack of disclosure in house buying that is way worse sometimes then horse buying |

isnt that the truth.. Im in process of buying a new farm and the couple selling are in a nasty divorce .. the acreage on back and to left of the place belongs to wife. we settled and went to final contract and they had pen printed in wife has easeway rights to my driveway.. I about flipped and bailed..so many crooks and its realtors job to do the research before hand.
but agree .. sellers of horse probrably will disclose it all when talked to..or may not.. but i wouldnt be quick to judge them yet.

We were lied to about mold and previous water damage, but thankfully it was not a huge issue for us to fix. |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | I wasn't the disliker. I actually hate that button lol. I'm just saying, what the OP is venting about is more than reasonable. I have seen similar things but usually they are outright lying. Like having a prospective broodmare checked out by a vet and told she is full of cysts or has a uterine tear and then seeing her advertised (new ad mind you) as breeding sound after we decline buying her. |

That's a whole other problem for sure! The fact that the ad itself was telling a blatant lie. I'm ok with some information not being disclosed in the ad, as long as it's disclosed when I ask for it. But to have someone outright lie in an ad is horrible. |
