Is it illegal??

Plus it's just ONE sarcoid on the mare's neck, nik. Certainly not a whole raft of 'em as the OP originally implied. Which means the horse will be put down simply out of spite, and not because she's in ill health.

I doubt the situation is real. I'm willing to bet it is (poorly written) fiction. Nobody that selfish would spend money to rid themselves of a horse with a sarcoid when in their mind, they have "lost" $3k already. I'd be more willing to believe the story if the person said they would sell the horse for $1500, at a $2500 loss.

I'm hoping it's all just a big fib JDI, but I've met some despicable crazy critters disguised as human beings over the years.

Yep, that's what it sounds like to me.

Put down why exactly? The sarkoid?
And you call yourself here "ARABIANHORSELOVER"????

Put her up for adoption, you'll save the vet and disposal cost.

If I had a way, I'd report her to Animal Control and have them yank every horse from her care and push to have her barred from ever owning ANY animal, especially horses. People that ignorant and heartless don't deserve to have ANY connection with ANY of God's creatures. That's my two cents and I will step down from my soapbox now....

As far as I can see no one cares about this horse - the buyer is having a knee jerk reaction to something she's been badly advised about and the seller obviously didn't care enough about it to sell it honestly, she just wanted to dump it on some naive person and pocket the cash - after all lots of buyers would do exactly the same thing as this OP and not want the poor thing once they see it has the sarcoid so it would just get dumped in an auction.
If the seller had cared about the horse at all she would have had the sarcoid treated/removed
I have a lovely warmblood mare bought at a really low price because the owner (who's daughter had lost interest) cared enough to be honest about some really slight arthritis she has in her hocks. She was totally upfront with us, allowed the X rays to be seen by our vet prior to the sale as she had declared the condition even though the horse has never been unsound and the problem would only have been picked up if a buyer decided to pay for an X ray. She was willing to take a lower price to know that the horse would go to a good home knowing that she had a problem that see something like this happen to it. For what we want to do with her she is worth the risk

I feel really bad for any horse put in the possession of this person. . .

Thread is now closed, I think the OP gets the point
