I found this ad on the classifieds at work, and shall we say it raised an eyebrow? Well I thought i would share it, with a few details removed to see what you all think.

Stunning 16hh Irish bay gelding, experienced all rounder. No vices, is great in traffic, to box, clip & shoe. He hacks alone or in company, balanced established paces, has competed mainly at dressage & is always highly placed. He loves to jump, has competed at XC & SJ (easily jumps 3ft). He has magnificent presence, is intellgent & eager to please. Despite his years he is very “low mileage” - he rides like a horse half his age. would excel at ODE in the right hands. He has not competed over the past year due to my circumstances hence the hard decision after owning him for 9 years to let him go to a home where he can fulfil his potential. This is a unique opportunity to purchase the kind of horse that doesn’t normally get sold on.

so, I want an age and a price for the horsey....get guessing!
 
First thing that made me giggle was the spelling of intelligent!! So this is probably a 17year old and they want £8K for it?
 
The horse is 17 years old and they want £5k for it! I do like the notion of it not fulfilling it'd full potential at current home, and the potential to event
