It's on dodgy dealers also. The same person has previously been advertising yearlings who are already being driven.

Instead of getting your child a lump of coal this year, may i present Lucy!
Had decided to keep it, realised it had just manipulated me by putting its ears forward for a few days.
Crawled out from hell almost 3 years ago, refuses to go back (ive tried rituals). Some brave soul did break her to ride and drive, i havent continued this because im pretty sure although the demon inside her is thousands of years old, her body isnt mature yet. Doesnt bite, yet. Does kick, less so if you are the main care giver and she needs in order to live, will mostly warn you first.
Oddly, it does come to call and allows you to catch it. Pretty sure shes plotting something though.
Excellent to keep intruders away, will likely eat the body after shes dealt with them.
Hates my dog, probably because its too stupidly happy to be scared of her and she resents that.
Someone take it.
Please.

Give it a few years, this is a perfect example of a “second” pony ?

i saw this one, i must say the photos were deceptively cute! but i worry where she will end up since they’re asking just £200 - i don’t think she’s worth more of course, and i assume the owner would vet the buyer, but if not she’d probably end up being passed from pillar to post

Poor damn pony. They may think they are funny but this is a blooming living creature not a toy. I really despair at us humans at times. I sat with head in hands wishing I could take this wee pony on.

Not 3 yet & someone who didn't know what they were doing has already tried to break her to ride & drive. Hope she gets a really well-aimed kick in before she's sold.

Also can someone translate this into English for me please (from the same advert)
.. "This horse is as far as mud, his is out the fields now, as you can see him. " .. ??

I *think* it's a way of saying he's out in his winter woolies, covered in mud and looking scruffy, as opposed to how he probably looks all done up for sales photos.

I think it was the people before this who did that - but I would agree that the physical and psychological damage is likely to be long lasting.

It's probably not cheeky or ridiculous but there is someone on a local FB horses for loan/share page who is re-advertising two ponies (in separate ads), I swear multiple times per week and this has been going on for ages. I'm not actually sure how long/how often because what they do is comment on their post to bump it up the page, and must have deleted the previous comment from the last time they did it. Either that or I am going bonkers, these ponies seem to be constantly in my feed! The ads don't have any red flags in them, they look like nice ponies and I probably would have enquired if they weren't too small for me. I've never seen horses for share advertised so much, it's not like there's a shortage of people looking.

I've seen horses (or cobs usually) on DD described as 'fat as mud' - perhaps that's what they meant
Although that's really no help is it, mud not being fat at all

Where can we lean how to tack up for we start college
I'm not sure what concerns me more, the English or someone choosing an equestrian course and they don't know the basics.

To be fair, I used to work in an equine college and we often had students who could ride but no idea how to tack up etc as their RS wouldn’t allow them to, especially after Covid. They loved horses and wanted to work with, they just needed that opportunity to learn the necessary skills.

I keep seeing share ads that say “For share/part loan. To stay at current yard” like I thought that was just a given?

Yep, like the person who's always advertising for a groom round here. I've heard she pays well so that's not the issue. No-one will make her hay now either, my husband did it one year - never again!

Just seen someone offering their pony for loan two days a week but he’s only 2 ?. And you have to pay.

"I applied for indefinite leave to remain and then left the country. The rules shouldn't apply to me so I created a media stink to force the Home Office into making an exception."
The rules are clear: if you leave the country when your application is in, it will be rejected. You left the country. Yet the Home Office is in the wrong somehow.
Well done for pressuring them into making an exception. People who can't attend funerals or see their dying relatives abroad during that time just have to suck it up. But hey ," it's not my fault that I can't read the rules. It's always someone else's fault."
Entitled, much ?

I think the requirement to never leave is a bit extreme. Missing family funerals should not be necessary.
Is anyone else irked by people posting Wanted Ads then saying ‘no jumping on this post!’ So they have exclusive rights to first refusal on any pony posted. Why should anyone feel entitled to that? If I respond to a wanted Ad I actually want to be messaged by anyone else looking for similar. I would not bother replying to anyone who said that as why waste the effort for just 1 buyer.

It doesn't mean never leave ever again, only while their application for asylum is being considered. People seeking asylum claim to be here because they are afraid for their life due to some sort of persecution. If they can safely come and go then they are unlikely to be in as much danger as they claim.
It also means that while the home office is throwing a lot of resources into making an exception for this one case there are people who are in desperate need of asylum or refugee status who get put back in the queue. The wait for a temporary visa for Ukrainians whose citizens were being raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered by the Russians was about 2 months. I don't see why someone who is in a place of safety should be processed above those in real danger funeral or not.

It wasn't an asylum claim just a normal can I stay forever claim. He's from australia.
It mostly sounded like he had a rubbish solicitor, and it had taken longer than usual - so longer than usual expected to not leave the country.
But yeah I was a bit, even I can find the rule, you broke the rule, process cancelled.

Yes he has been working and living here for 12 years. Has a long term British partner and a child on the way. Clearly committed to the UK. He has spent a week a year in Germany as part of his job. Seemed bizarre that disqualifies him from indefinite leave to remain.
The asylum sustem is rubbish but that does not mean other things aren;t overly punitive too.

Not asylum , indefinite leave to remain. Different things.
This entitled twit things that it's unfair that he broke through rules and his application was cancelled. So pressured the HO making an exception for him.
While everyone else has to abide by the rules.
Hight of entitlement.

OK thanks.It wasn't an asylum claim
It doesn't. My Mother's partner is from Denmark and he applied for indefinite leave to remain about 3 years ago. He had been living here for decades, running a business and paying taxes. He has been in and out of the country many many times. You only have to remain here between the time you apply for indefinite leave until you are approved. It used to take about 6 months. It probably takes longer now as the no. of people coming here for various reasons has increased. Obviously you can leave the country while you're application is being processed but there is a risk you wont get back in and you're application goes to the back of the queue as you need to resubmit.
If he needs a solicitor there is something else going on, the forms are straightforward.

Oh they bent the rules for him so he's now got his ILR.
Your MIL won't have applied for ILR as she was an EU citizen, she will have applied for naturalisation- you can leave the country during that process and for EU citizens, as long as they've either worked or claimed benefits, it's a straight forward process.
The ILR is more complex and once your application is in , leaving the country cancels the application. Unless of course you kick up a media stink and force the Home Office to bend the rules for you.
You can get a compassionate exception , say to go see a dying relative, but these can take a long time to be approved. A colleague of mine couldn't go see his dying mother as a result. This is why I'm so pissed off about the rules not applying to you if you kick up a stink.
Especially as all he had to do was look on .gov website and see what he can and can't do.
