Other charges he admitted included dishonestly obtaining a horse exam worth £356, and, in May 2017, ordering goods falsely under the name Lord James Whitcombe.
Maycock also admitted dishonestly obtaining the services of a veterinary surgery, between July 1 - 31, 2014.
The remaining charge was one of fraud, relating to his dealings with motor spares company.
Maycock, aged 31, was represented by Mr Robert Grey during Monday's crown court hearing.
