But wouldn't you think that to protect his reputation he would call the guy and see if he couldn't straighten it out???

I've been thinking too, and actually I don't think there is really anything at all I could do about it. Hair mentioned another potential buyer maybe coming to look at him from that barn. What's to keep them from trying to find out why the first people didn't buy him, and them telling them whatever..???

That's one reason I hope my farrier will give them a call. Maybe between my farrier, who is also their farrier, and the trainer at the barn, people they trust, they can get these people to at least shut up about founder.

Well, maybe he just hopes this will die down and go away. If they are like doctors, the only one he will probably "off the record" tell what happened is to your "vet". More than likely it will all just come down to a "misunderstanding" IMO

If others from that barn come to look, they would have been sent there on the basis of the trainer's opinion. If they talk to the other people, they might likely decide, if they don't already know from their own experience, that thse people are nutty. ;~D

But Yes.... It is not helpful that this 'story' about founder would get around. It hurts Harley's reputation, but it also paints you as someone who might try to sell a horse and cover up a previous founder.

I think there has to be some responsibility for you to hear what the vet said.

Well if they have any sense, they'll find out for themselves. If I was looking at a horse I wouldn't go on a "Maybe" from a vet that I don't know.
