I thought he meant lovely mother and couldn't spell it and was writing muvver! lol Cute cute pony!
 
I didn't get why it was a "poor" pony at first either. But I suppose with a deadline over its head, and being so cheap, it could end up anywhere. I'm guessing its a colt too, at that price, as the ad doesn't say. Hope he ends up somewhere nice. x

I thought it was a fairly genuine question actually, we get so many advertised horses and ponies linked on here, quite often there is nothing 'actually' wrong with them.. People tend to make a lot of assumptions about adverts :)

ETA didn't make that too clear. To me the pony is neither grossly underweight or overweight, he looks healthy and his feet seem to have been attended to (all assumptions I suppose :rolleyes: :D ). He is being sold cheaply and quickly (although that could also be a ruse to make people feel sorry for him). To me he is already 'luckier' than a great number of ponies in this country.

The RSPCA used to have 'must go today' signs outside some of their kennels, with the underlying unspoken threat 'or will be destroyed'. This resulted in far more of these dogs being rehomed because people 'felt sorry' for them.

Agreed, rhino, I was looking at the pic thinking he looked like quite a nice little chap in decent condition! I was expecting a picture of a bag of bones, or an ad saying something like he's rising 2 years old and broken to ride and drive!
 
There's loads though if you start trying to "rescue" them, where does it end? Saw one earlier on tonight, backed and hacking out at rising 2... A cob type it was cheap too.
 
Looks quite a sweet little thing - could make a cracking little pony, although the pic's not that good. It's in Leeds by the looks of it (near me.....!), all I can say is it's in a very horsey county so I don't imagine it'll be too hard to shift really. I don't get why people advertise on that site to be honest, guess i just don't associate it with selling horses. is it free to advertise on there or something?
