Was he doped?
Q I haveahorrible feeling that the horse I bought threemonths ago fromadealerwas dopedwhen I went to tryhim. Hehasn't proven tobe the safe, steadyhack I was told he was and, although I have persevered, his behaviour out on the roads has been so bad that my daughter has now lost confidence. Is there anything I can do?

James says: Sadly, it isn't the first time that I've heard of this situation, but you do have some options.
Firstly, was your horse vetted as part of the sale? If so, I would recommend speaking to your vet to understand if there were any unusual results.on the basis that they deceived you.
