What does "no charente" mean?

Agreed I feel like an older horse wouldn’t take well to a big move either

Would you want to pay to share a horse you can't ride and kicks?
I’m putting my beautiful boy up for part loan! HE IS NOT RIDDEN CURRENTLY.
Xxx is an 8yo tb! Xxx not had an easy life hence why he’s not currently ridden, he’s having the winter off to fill out his top line. Walter is a loveable rogue. When he’s loving he is the most loving horse you’ll meet. When he’s not he isn’t particularly nasty he just gets excited. He is funny with his back end, I’m happy to explain further if needed. He is to stay on his current yard. All I ask is he is loved like you would love your own, he is a very very important part of my life. He enjoys his own company. Duties include: mucking out, feeding, grooming, bringing in, turning out, and potentially lunging. Small Financial contribution.

Saw one today. (I’ll paraphrase to protect the guilty)
15yr old, failed vetting 2/10ths lame. Vet says arthritis and to bute it if you want to ride. £2500

MY polite response is that they are certainly being optimistic regarding price and the chance of finding a buyer. I won't share my less polite response...

I predict the high prices paid by people in recent months for anything with a pulse, combined with sudden financial reality check for many living on the edge of their means will bring out a lot of fresh meat for this thread.
Meanwhile if you have a good home to offer and give it a few months, there will be a good choice of quality horses available on loan to anywhere that doesn't charge livery.

I’ve mentioned this person before but they appeared again on my feed with more photos.
advertising riding services. Random pictures, quite a few of them hugging horses, riding looks quite novicey, not well presented. I always thought each to their own and they might get someone if they’re cheap enough. But they’ve added prices and they’re £25 a ride. I pay a freelance rider £25 and she is very experienced and competing advanced medium and producing some very nice young horses of her own.

Cost of ponies has nosedived and I think will nosedive again once people actually have to put their heating on. I’m sitting on my hands because my kids wanted some projects for next spring and I could pick them up for pennies already. Don’t have the fields until Dec due to the acorns though so it’s helping me not do anything silly!
Friend of mine is looking for a loan horse and has been to see four already - lots of choice now for those who can afford to keep a horse but not buy one!

They haven’t nosedived in this part of the country! People are still asking double pre Covid prices on nfed. Whether they are selling for that is another question.

I haven't looked for a few months but would like to start seriously looking in the new year so it would be nice if prices dropped. Last time I looked I couldn't get over how many people were selling animals over the age of twenty for a lot of money. Hate seeing older animals for sale find it so sad.

Get your story straight before you press "send"...
[...]is currently out of work and has been for the past 8 months........
He has been out of work for a year so for that reason I would say he is not suitable for a novice...
Not the type to get fizzy or hot if out of work for days / weeks. ....
I don’t have the time to bring him back into work again therefor sold from field.

We have one at our yard that wants 15k for an 18 year old pony that had a rotational and damaged his neck. She currently jumps it in the 1.20m but he really doesn't enjoy it. When I asked why she didn't just put him on loan, the reply was...we don't want him back when he breaks (when not if). Same pony took her from pole to 1.10 in under a year. They also have another pony for sale for 35k that has only been jumping a year and is already in the 1.15m. The mind boggles.

For sale
23yo horse, not pony size mare that sometimes bites and kicks
Has sweet itch
Needs confident rider to hack alone
doesn’t want to be passed around but can no longer keep her.
i feel there will be many more posts of people selling off oldies. It’s not like she’s particularly easy to keep or a schoolmaster sort. Sad.

This advert is a bit odd.

Selling my 16.3 ID gelding due to not having enough time and my daughter has decided to give up horses which leaves me with 1 too many. He`s a bit of a project and needs consistency with a confident and experienced rider as he has trust issues, though he is a real sweetie not bolshy at all . He has to be sedated for the farrier but he is unshod and has very good feet that don`t need constant trimming (he has been shod in the past though not with me ). He has hunted in Ireland and the Uk, he loves to jump. PLEASE EXPERIENCED HOME ONLY. Open to sensible offers.
***
He is 9 and they are asking £5K.
ETA I wasn’t thinking: I wondered how long they’d actually had him if they had never had him shod or trimmed, but I’ve misread: sounds as though he has been trimmed (with difficulty).

Just simply loving life with Orbi 🥰
Probably much the same as the lady who has just left my yard, the horse spooks at a chicken and she retaliates by whacking said horse over the nose with the leadrope! He is 4 he is a baby and I had spent 7 months on groundwork with him. She is lucky I wasnt there I woulda probably whacked her ?fkn idiot

What an absolute nasty piece of work she sounds. Hopefully Karma will get her at some stage of her life.

Came across an advert on Facebook today - someone looking to find a loan home for an unbacked seven year old cob. Sounds like they want someone to back him and produce him, and they are specifying that it must be bitless.
