I am looking for a horse to loan and sent a few enquiries this afternoon...one advert was for a 16.3hh Irish Sports Horse 4years old Gelding so I sent off an email asking for some more information and got the following email back......
Thanks for the mail and interest on my Frisian gelding . I have just one left . His name is Koko. The others are already taken .He will come with all health papers and one year health guarantee. this gelding {Koko} is not only beautiful, completely healthy and sound, great, sane, trail horse deluxe! has awesome four beat gaits.I am taking my horse off the market as a riding horse as i do not have a rider for him since i was involved in a car accident with my husband and both of us can't ride anymore , therefore i am unable to take video's of him being ridden .; This super gelding has the most amazing paces. His walk is huge with a great over track. His trot is off the floor, uphill, floating & extremely big. he has a fab canter which is powered from behind.Koko has lovely temperament. he is good in all respects. he will travel in a trailer or lorry & is happy to stand in the box munching hay at shows. he will hack out alone & in company. he is very forward when hacking so wouldn`t be suitable for a novice. he has been cantered in open spaces & is very well behaved. When hacking alone he has a good imagination but is not silly with it. Koko has been lightly competed. Judges love him.. he always gets fab comments like super paces (normally receiving 8`s). he is how ever rusty on Half pass as i am not sure how to do this. he has an amazing medium trot as well. Recently a friend had started training him in changes, he would still need more training to perfect this but looked like he would pick this up with ease. he has had regular coaching with a friend who is a class 2 dressage judge. Tango can jump, but this is not my thing so he could do with further education on this subject.
Before i brought him home from Holland when he was 4, he was professionally trained & was put through his gelding performance with super results. he scored the following; WALK 8. TROT 7. CANTER 7. RIDABILITY 7 & 8. JUMPING2 X 7. he has full pink papers & is branded.
My husband was an experienced beginner and he really enjoyed riding him where as I am an experienced rider and also enjoy riding Koko. So therefore, I am sure that it will be great for just about any riding level from experienced beginner on up the scale. I also know that Koko would make a fantastic field trial horse if someone was interested in him for that because Koko has great endurance and listens so well. I want Koko to find a great home and will only sell to such a home. Also, Koko is fine with other horses or without them .He has lived in a boarding situation before and did just as well as he does in a private home situation .up to date on vaccines and dental care . I don't know what else I can say about him other than if you are looking for a horse that will be the same everyday and bring you hours of enjoyment whether out on the trail or in the pasture then, it might be the horse for you! I thought I would go ahead and post him so that somebody could start enjoying him .Before i let you have the gelding i will like to know the following
Have you ever had a horse before ??
Do you own a Ranch??
Are you an experienced Rider or a Beginner??
How soon do you need this gelding ??
Where are you located precisely ??
Why are you interested in a Frisian Breed ??
I am asking all these question so as to make sure that the gelding gets into the hands of some one who will take proper care of the gelding ..Do email me when you shall come to test ride and take the horse along .If coming for test ride will be stressful , then i can arrange for hauling over to your home . Koko is for £950
Thanks and waiting to read from you
slightly confused...has anyone else had anything like this? Sounds like a scam and I won't be replying!!

Fairly common one too, several people have reported it on here.
