I'd be very cautious. If a gb u21 rider paid to buy & import mare, why has it been sold on, now for sale again & in foal. Is it the old idea of putting a 'difficult' mare in foal to calm her down? Breeding no good if mentally mare not up to job, run risk of breeding more mentally not up to job foals.

Does she suffer from brake failure?

Why do people put a mare in foal then sell it? Unless you want the foal yourself don't breed.

Don't think to much to the stallion that covered her. He doesn't exactly have presences
 
Another one to spot the bar shoes. Dodgy doesn't quite cut it! She's probably been put in foal as she's broke. Wouldn't touch with a barge pole, doesn't help I can't stand people who bang on about breeding!

That can not be a serious advert ????? what 18 year old can afford that sort of money. Its either not real of the owner comes across as a spoilt brat (I went through a western phase so daddy spent a stupid amount of money then i got a bit bored!)

not first time seen an ad like that with the same sand school too. think must be a scam
 
I think it's actually really sad, call me crazy but I actually like the mare... In the sense that I'm drawn to her, she looks feisty and spirited and willful, exactly what I love in a mare, but everything about the advert would put me off, there is a lot that wouldn't phase me, the shoes, the jumping, the awful photos... If I were in the market I'd almost go and have a look, but I wouldn't go and look at a horse with these potential issues that I couldn't ride to try out because it was in foal... A serious question, one would assume that you couldn't five stage vet a mare in foal?? I've no idea, as never even considered buying one.
 
I feel sorry for this mare too - just looks like an attempt to palm her off while she can't be ridden/vetted properly and bu88er the consequences...

I did wonder - the horse does still exist on the MR website (with videos), but it's just such a bizarre ad.. As they appear to be not that far from me I'm almost tempted to enquire.. ;)

I know the market is bad but it always makes me a bit suspicious to see horses with "amazing" blood lines that have been ridden in high levels of competition being sold for such a small amount of money especially if they are quite young horses. It makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the horse :/ as you would think something with bags of talent that has done high levels from proven blood lines would be snapped up by major name competition riders?

This any why put an unproven mare into foal just to sell before she has even foaled?

I think that might be the point! I would love to see the next pic during that jump it looks like shes going to straddle those tyres... if thats the jumping pic they chose I would think maybe they didnt have a picture of her jumping nicely because she doesn't.

Um, tbf, that's what mine does... His jumping career was short lived, and trotting poles are still like taking your life in your hands :p

I agree with using bad photos for adverts! Everyone has a phone with a camera on nowadays, how hard can it be?
 
Especially using a stereotypical calm sire (RID) makes me think that she's a nutcase and they were trying for a sane foal.
 
The Monty Roberts one, that ad seems really familiar but not for that particular horse. I'm sure there was another one mentioned on here same story different horse and there might have been a spanish one from the same seller as well, definitely ringing a bell for me.
