I always see "5* home only" in adverts for horses. What does this actually mean, I know it must mean a nice home but what exactly does this entail?

To be honest, I think it's open to interpretation!
I take it to mean that you will treat it well, not hammer it in to the ground and love it lots and lots and give it the attention it needs!
I also think that to give a 5* home, you also need to be a nice person - subjective again, I know!

A 5* home changes to each horses indiviual needs. For example a nice big posh livery yard where the horses are out in the day in a night would not be ideal for a horse that has to live out 24/7,in the same way a field and a field shelter would not be ideal for a horse that is bred to showjump. Genrally,a 5* home is a home that offers the horse warmth,keeps it clean,feeds it and loves the horse,as well as meeting all the needs of its work.

Its pretty meaningless really, to me it just shows that the seller has some concern about the horse's future and wants a good home. I don't think it means they are expecting miracles, just decent normal conditions and care. But who is going to turn up and say 'oh well, I'm going to be a bad home, but will you sell to me anyway?'
I guess it gives them an easy get-out if some numpty phones up planning to keep the pony in the back garden for the kids to play with.
