I have had my mare at my neighbours yard for a few months so i could wean her foal from her, i now have to bring her home due to reasons out of my control, but now my farmer has told me that he wants me to get rid of one, i have 2 other youngsters that i want to keep so the only option is to get rid of her.

The problem is she has been used as a broodmare for the last few years although can now be brought back into work with someone experienced. She is a typical mare and will pull faces, doesn't like to be left on her own at all.

However she is good to handle, traffic, box, shoe, vet etc etc i have never had any issues with her handling wise.

Is there a market for her at the moment? I am open to sell or loan her but i need to do it asap as i am heavily pregnant and farmer is getting assy!

Where is the best place to advertise her for quick sale? If she was to sell it would be for a minimal amount, no where near what she is worth as i need her gone in the next few weeks. I really don't want to get rid of her but being pregnant and having a narky farmer has sort of made my mind up for me, i was looking forward to riding her once baby is here.

Please someone give me some advice where to advertise
 
I would put her on 'project horses', or Horsemart, but wouldn't expect a quick sale in the current climate...

Sorry to sound negative and hope you find her a good home x
 
Try project Horses and be realistic on the price. If she is safe enough, but just a forward going mare then I'm sure she can go to an expeirenced home where they can bring her back into work. Alternativly, if she has good bloodlines and has nice foals, have you contacted any nearby studs, that would take her on a broodie?
