[@StalwartShinobi]

At least the horses bought by watchdog got some care and a good home. Well done matt and crew!

[@mikelovelock2666]

Good too see my licence fee has gone too some use after all

[@pegknife]

They went direct to Tesco

Lol exactly

[@jamielee9350]

Who in their right mind would purchase a horse without having it vetted in the first place...

[@stephenholmes1036]

Correct

[@hypotheticallywhatiskyle]

First thing I thought of. Wouldn’t even consider parting with money without a vet there.

[@Glamrockqueen]

Loppy ran round that field as if she'd never seen grass before!

[@goody390]

Exactly what came to mind how excited was it !!

[@laragrove75]

Oh poor Queenie 😣 can’t believe they were riding her with broken bones, poor thing

[@abigray8585]

So happy the place where I ride has such healthy and happy horses. Well looked after and very happy.

[@kayleighevans8870]

How can humans neglect these beautiful 🐴 it shocking

[@Gonken88]

We don't. 🐴 meat is rather lean.

[@laragrove75]

Well to be fair that’s why you get a horse 5 stage vetted *before* you buy it

[@MANdoesminecraft]

14:38 hahahahahaha the horse definitely understood that.

[@johnbradshawe1263]

It understood the words put down definitely lol

Poor horse. Or poorse

[@annieshepherd4739]

I know where this stable is and found out first hand how these horses were treated and abused, and there was many horses that just wasn't fit to be ridden. Poor horses I wish I could have taken them all, to loved and bring them back to health.

[@caraame]

Used to love to ride. The power of a horse cantering and galloping is a wonderful thing.

[@ExploringWithCam2018]

How can people hurt animals let alone other human beings. Its disgusting seeing how these horses were treated. I hope every single animal that went through their hands are well and happy in there new homes and with their new family

[@fatumomohamud6406]

poor, beautiful horses wish I could save them all.

[@Schwabladoo]

As abhorrent as this blokes business practices are, I do commend him for having the balls to actually talk to Matt as opposed to darting off in a fit like the vast majority of them do.

[@DAN420.]

Fight or Flight.

[@jb372]

Schwabladoo he needs no admiration, remember he was also been cruel to animals in the past I.e. puppies.

[@salmaabdullahgb]

exactly

[@hl8808]

Joseph Beatty what?

[@davidmg1925]

Yeah he also has the "balls" to sell a horse for a task which will cause it a lot of suffering.

You're welcome, I will continue to do the rogue trader segments in the future.

[@jasontroy4723]

This show real or not is a ripping good giggle . Love the English humor . Jolly good show old chap . Cheers to all viewers ......

[@bleachchugtidy2178]

When I was 13 year old I had a horse who cost £2500' was "8" years old and was a candidate for RDA (riding therapy for people with disabilities) and was very suitable for a novice ( I had been a very confident and good rider between the ages of 3 and 9 but got back into riding at the age of 12 a few years after my new forest died). This horse turned out to be 4 years old and bucked every time he cantered, was terrified of sticks and after a few months of riding nearly killed me, after my last accident I had a broken arm, ribs and he kicked me in the head which knocked me out, gave me concussion and brain damage.

[@warrickmiller7651]

Had a similar situation with a new horse that collapsed on its first hack. Turns out its rear legs were knackered. For anyone buying a horse get a vet check first

[@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim]

How was Queenie for sale in the first place? Her owner decided to cut her losses and get a few quid on her rather than call the knackerman out and do the right thing. The same applies to every single knackered horse sold by dealers. They *all* had owners who didn't give a stuff and simply wanted money.

[@robertdircks6949]

Oh poor loppy she was happy to be out of the stable

[@carolinelief9132]

It would be cruel to return these horses only to be sold again and expected to work when they are old or injured, very sad how they are exploited

[@iKonographi]

Hahahaha 'I do like the thoroughbred by the way' '...it's not for sale'

[@m-rtin]

I don't no the man but he is a gentleman a couple of loobs bought horses got bored and decided to reck the mans name leave the man alone go to clitheroe auction and buy a balanore mushy speaking by.

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Seen plenty of clapped out car dealers over the years but didn't realise their are clapped out horse dealers too! Sad state of affairs

[@vibemunster]

I would have thought you would get a vets bill of health before buying a horse? Like an MOT on a car, I certainly wouldn't buy one unless it had been checked by an independent professional.

[@jo-clairecorcoran5783]

foot in mouth we rescue OTTBs, before any horse is put up for adoption I have a vet examine the horse, lameness exams and ultrasounds, then I always recommend a PPE by the adopter.

[@xhogun8578]

This just came across my timeline. Checked and Kelly's cobs is still dealing :/

[@terriessex2083]

WTFF I'm not sure if you're in the UK or not but wouldn't that place being such questioning ends there have some kind of animal cruelty law that would fine or jail that guy in that company wow they got absolute proof right there these are dirty dogs and now you say you find them active that is sickening

I meant to say equestrians

[@tracyniemeyer8691]

[@SEPK09]

If this guy has been caught before WHY isn't he in jail.!!!!

[@TheReesi73]

Love this program 😂

[@RyanGralinski]

At least you rescued a couple horses they were beautiful

[@terriessex2083]

And if you all remember in conversation with the woman he had stated that he has the horses checked by a vet when they get them so that says their vet is incompetent and lied or you know he never had them looked at by a vet because he's full of crap

[@Prolix8]

To be fair to the 'owner' of Kellys Cobs, once exposed, he didn't run away or became abusive. He stayed calm and composed while responding to allegations. I am however shocked by the treatment of the poor horses and I wish he was challenged on that more than anything.

[@salmaabdullahgb]

hes a good liar and confident about hes bs hows that good?

[@Gonken88]

Yeah obviously he was an honest man just doing business and left the technicalities to the vet. They didn't bring back the horses and got their money back so I don't really see what they're moaning about. If they'd returned them maybe they'd be turned into food instead of running around letting out that horrible co2 for no reason.

[@terriessex2083]

Because obviously he's okay with being a piece of crap he's already sold his soul to the devil

[@stealthattack2209]

No wonder loppy was happy in that field.

[@flashtango3643]

My issue here is that making TV has come above the welfare of these amazing animals. After the first two horses were clearly in some need of help, they should be getting people into this place and helping the horses, not dragging it out to make TV.

[@Neko141212]

These types of shows will often hand over all their evidence to authorities. Since, you know, a TV show can't make arrests or hand out prison sentences.

[@Gonken88]

Well at the end of the day they're just horses, and lucky they're not turned into dog food or something.

[@Gonken88]

@Johnny Holmes Or food for people. Kids are starving in Africa but here we're privileged enough to keep the food as pets and even give them human rights. The world is becoming a strange place.

I begrudge how the BBC spends public money however paying £1200 to give an old horse a nice retirement is money well spent.

Even though he was a crook. I thought he came across quite well in the end when caught out. He didn't shout, swear, run away and he stood and talked in front of camera. Shame really cos he is a crook lol.

[@terriessex2083]

And even sadder what a shame both of those horses were beautiful horses they could have been cared for properly and sadly now they're just going to waste that is so sad I would give anything to have a horse at all

[@ExeDist]

That was absolutely disgusting, I wonder how these horses sustained said injuries without them even batting an eyelid? Anyway I've worked with horses and can tell you if you are being sold a horse for that kind of money you should probably walk away, as the horse we bought was at least twice that and we also took a vet with us before we handed the money over. We viewed the horse on three occasions also before we purchased, the final being with a certified vet.

[@jo-clairecorcoran5783]

Exe. Dist so very nice horses sell every day here in the states for under 1000.00. Depends upon the time of the year and the hay situation too. We take in OTTB and adopt them out for 750.00 US and less. Lovely dressage prospects, great trail horses, etc. fully vetted, and with good ground manners.

[@terriessex2083]

Yes and even more so if you are inexperienced and unaware of horses or don't know their issues or signs of health problems you definitely have to bring a professional to look at them and if you are familiar with horses hello look at their teeth look at their hooves feel their ankles look for sway backs and coat health rub your hands all over there body to see if they react oddly if you're buying a horse without looking at those things then you deserve to get. Burned

[@reachandler3655]

@@terriessex2083 I'm sorry, but just because a buyer is unaware how to assess the health, age and temperament of a horse doesn't mean they deserve to get burned! This place is selling horses for riding that are not only unsuitable, but unsafe; not only for the rider but also the horse!

[@shanecattell9293]

id agree that its the buys duty to get a vet to check before handing over cash. but correct me if im wrong. it started out with him walking out of court where a judge stated he was banned from running a company again. which he obviously still is, as he dealt with the sales himself. but that was not mentioned when they tried to interview him. did he call the police and have him arrested for breaking a court order? im guessing no, as they would have shown that. so the bbc cached a man selling sick animals. they know he has a court order on him for it. and did nothing to stop him.

[@JamesWilliams-rb7vk]

stuff gets sorted outside of the episodes with further legal issues getting done off camera the show has no authority to do literally anything unfortunately but the BBC can take stuff further if they need to or get people involved who can remove the mans license in selling animals we don’t get the full run down on every show but the reason these shows are made is to address the issues and inform people on dodgy situations and people

[@medes5597]

They work with the police and relevant authorities. How on earth do you think they would make this programme if they didn't? Like what the hell?

[@TariqKhan-hn6kd]

Bring this show back too many cowboy builders

[@amysmileyreid95]

Matt got owned here. First time that’s happened and he didn’t like it one bit. Don’t get me wrong, this guy is morally bankrupt but he knows the law and knows what he’s doing. Also, credit where it’s due, he stayed and talked, he didn’t run away. While I appreciate what Matt hand his team try to do here, he comes across as a smug, self righteous prick and on this one occasion it felt good to see him get his arse handed to him.

[@stephenholmes1036]

If your going to buy a horse get it vet checked first yes its £160 but it saves alot of problems

[@qwertyadventures8889]

Why didn't they ask to try the horse out before they bought them🙄🐎

[@eddie091642]

Lmao "get out of my way"

[@0Ciju0]

He did say that he is willing to do a full refund and I do think he meant it. His business model flourishes off of people (similar to everyone who purchased a horse on the show...) who love horses as animals and who would never bring themselves to actually send the horse back to the seller; not even in exchange for $$ they spent.

[@terriessex2083]

Because that's what people with Integrity do and that's what those animals deserve nothing less
