Saw one today for a mare they paid £6000 for last year. Since diagnosed with KS and operated on, plus diagnosed with additional joint arthritis. Bucking in canter but it's 'definitely behavioral!' and the owner has 2 kids to think of so can't persevere. £4000 ??‍♀️

I saw one tonight on NFED, I won't put the link because I'm sure it's an entirely genuine ad but they've used an unfortunate turn of phrase that is hilarious.
Horse is a 16.2 TB looks nice sort but "Recently went with daughter to top show jumping trainer for a week, who thinks he would excel in dressage". Talk about a good face for radio :D

This one

16.2hh Tb 10 years gelding.
Been used for quiet hacking and a family pet.

I bought him in and he needed a bit attention got him shod and rode him away but he’s been a bit iffy on his feet. May just be something simple.

Cheap for someone wanting a nice ride away type.

Needs a new ? sadly don’t have the space.

3 figs

Sorry, can't give a fig, would you accept a couple of pomegranates or half a dozen dates?

Is the ad from a dealer in Sussex? They’ve posted similar before, selling off lame horses to cut their losses.

locally a girl is selling a few cheap saddles. Between the £20 and £100 mark so the quality is poor. Her ad now states a synthetic saddle priced at £25 was out on trial! It just shocked me someone would trial anything at that value really. maybe its me that should be more careful with money?

Any one on Horses and Ponies Ireland will have seen a 35 year old for sale as a companion yesterday. Apparently 'home is more important than price' so that's nice? Hoping it was a typo but the horse did look properly old.

I see she has now refused it to 'retirement wanted'. Poor horse, I'd love to know how much she's looking for him.
really shouldn’t be looking for anything..long term loan would be suitable
Would investigate ?
A couple of comments on the post agreeing

For loan (not a novice ride)
Over 18 only, preferably with experience in breaking and schooling.
16.2hh Irish Sport Horse. Mare rising 6 has been lightly backed and is now ready to be brought on. Requires a patient rider who is looking to take on a project and has the ability to deal with a green and at times anxious horse.
I will help as much as possible and pay for Farrier, Dentist and Vet bills.
Appropriate insurance required as there is always the potential with any horse for injury.
Private msg for further details”

..school my horse for free so then I can take it back?

Found one today:

OP hasn't been given a bill at livery so hasn't paid any livery. She now wants to move and YO is keeping her stuff until she pays. Doesn't seem to understand that just because you don't get a bill , doesn't mean it's free and that she should have put money aside every month to cover livery.


Give me strength ! ??

My contract states that if livery isn’t payed in over a month they have right to sell the horse ? they give back any extra made

I saw that one - and they seemed to genuinely believe that it was the YO who was being unreasonable in the situation ?

There seems to be an endless stream of ads (now that it’s the summer holidays) wanting ‘anything over 15hh, 4-10 years old, must be 100% safe for hacking and schooling…in the under £1000 group. A group where you generally can find small youngsters and small feral 3yo+ ponies…
