Nice and neat and nice matching horses too!!

Disgusting. I am also quite shocked how the 2 people arrested have been allowed bail.

I have just seen this on West Country today. http://www.itv.com/westcountry-east/extened-pony-footage64553/ I too thought that the best option is surely to put the pony down. I felt so sorry for it watching it try and hobble around. :mad:

No fair! Are they going to require passport to verify it or just the Aussie twang?!

Thanks guys. I did have doubts and have been umming and ahhing about it but thought maybe i was being unreasonable. But the fact that you guys have said you wouldn't let your horse out on trial or wouldn't ask for a trial if you were buying kinda suggests i'm not being unreasonable. Think i'll...

Don't think he'd be used as a PC camp horse as i'm only selling him as a hacker as he's not done much over last few years and they're not a PC family. But it does worry me they'll just have a horse free for a month, or of course the horror stories of horses being out on loan and being sold on...

Anything i should consider before letting my horse go for a months trial pre-sale? I'm guessing i'll have to give them the passport? I'll obviously photocopy it and keep copies myself. Should i ask for a deposit? Also if you were selling a horse would you let it go out on a months trial? Just a...
