Bombroof

Dear VFH I read your article re Bombroof - Now ‘Crack On'.  I had same experience as Steven.  Louise Thomas  was rude and abusive towards me.  These people know a horse will fail vetting, but are making money on deposits being paid prior to vetting. I should have taken court action in hindsight, but it was my first experience of buying a Horse (my dream) having waited over 40 years. However these people turned my dream into a nightmare. Unless legislation changes these people will continue.

I now own my own horse bought from another more reputable dealer, however she is definitely not as advertised. It has all been a steep learning curve for me. I will continue with the moody mare that I now have, as I do not want her passed from owner to owner because of her issues.
