When buying a horse or pony it is important to be aware that some unscrupulous horse dealers and even private sellers may use selling 'scams' or dodgy sales practices to push up prices and sell on unsuitable or even possibly dangerous horses or ponies.
Caveat emptor 'let the buyer beware' is particularly appropriate when purchasing a horse.
Some of the examples of equine scams may sound far fetched but it can be very easy for people to be taken in by someone with a horse for sale who appears to be trustworthy.
