No, and that's across 5 different insurers over the years. Its not on a single one of the on line quote forms I've used either.

I've never been asked and my new policy with KBIS is the same price as my old policy with them for my horse who had to be PTS at 12 after colic.

I've been asked, I've had two horses put down (colic in 25 year old horse and lami in 18 year old horse) neither were insured at the time, one had never been insured and both have affected new policies

I am with NFU if that helps, was first asked this question when insuring a horse in 2019. They didn’t ask it the previous year, just added the horse to my policy. The horse who died was uninsured (so unknown to them) therefore I am guessing change of policy from the underwriter perhaps?

"Looking for someone to loan, (small adult cob), he is a project and needs a confident rider who would like something to make their own"
But he won't be their own, because the owner can take him back as soon as he's no longer a project! And, of course, a financial contribution is required.

Is the poster someone claiming to run a 'rescue charity' or someone looking for a sharer/loaner for their recently bought horse? If the latter then why did they buy it in the first place? And obviously that is all secondary to the fact the horse looks very uncomfortable. Unless that is just a VERY bad photo, the poster definitely has bigger problems to deal with than his weight.

This isn't my experience of my excellent vets at all. I've had to ask them on two different occasions if the time to PTS has arrived and they've been very supportive and in fact praised me for being brave enough to make that decision to end the pain.

Think you're replying to me! Sorry if not! I just had a look, her whole profile is selling animals - dogs and OTTBs it seems to be the reoccurring theme. I think she got kicked out of the group as of where that post was made as her name doesn't appear there

Thank you for explaining
That sounds a bit of a weird set up - especially as she uses the word 'adopt' - and suspicious that she's selling a horse who's soundness she knows might be questioned before she's even received his 'papers' or put the weight on him that she thinks he needs. I'm afraid it makes me think of the type of people who buy cheap horses with known health problems, bute them up and sell at a vastly inflated price to an inexperienced buyer.

It's so scary! I don't think her page is charity at all, they just seem to go, go, go, go. I find the whole thing so weird, I laughed when I first saw it but I do hope that horse is okay. I do suspect an inexperienced would be her target, considering how quickly she's advertised without having the actual papers yet or doing any investigations but I hope someone who saw the ad who knows what they are doing got in contact with the buyer and perhaps that horse is with themThank you for explaining

You see plenty of ridiculous posts here too.
"My horse isn't quite right and i keep getting the physio out but it's not getting better ". At what point do you engage your brain and call a vet ? If you're too tight or skint to call the vet then don't have a large animal that entirely relies on you for its welfare.
And who are these shocking physios that keep treating lame or sick horses and don't insist on veterinary involvement?

Too little time, too much to read.
Another rising 2yo, this time Welsh cob. Photographed wearing tarpaulin, balloons, bit and roller + numnah, small child. For sale because they don't click with him.

What are they selling him as, a storage unit?!
It sounds like he's quiet enough for the small child, I would have thought most parents would want to keep a pony like that.

I probably shouldn't have giggled at the "storage unit", but I did.

depends on the pony, its cheap for an advanced dressage schoolmaster able to teach a child higher levels of dressage, its expensive for a general allrounder
Ambers Echo
Still wittering on
8 year old, multiple placings at BE 90/100 with scope for more. Easy to do and straight forward to ride..... Mid fours! Does it have 3 legs? (If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.)

idk ive started to see interest for people pricing horses “reasonably” often explained as a home being more important or horse is a general allrounder or a bit of a project. I do wonder if the prices are starting to come down slightly in some circles.
ofc i could be reading this entirely wrong and being fooled by seller’s tricks having never been unfortunate to be on market to buy a horse myself.

This one just got me!
For full loan
To stay at current yard
Two youngsters, will be 3 this year and a Shetland pony
Both around 14hh (the flaxen chestnut is 15’2 for comparison)
Toby (the coloured) is a dope on a rope to handle and groom. Loves snoozing on your shoulder and hugs. Can be a bit strong when led out as isn’t keen on leaving his friends. He will be a chunk when fully grown so nice to ride.
Hunter Ben (the Bay) is very clever and loves hugs. Easy to handle but can test his boundaries sometimes, however he backs down when asked to. He is more forward being led out than Toby and will be a fun ride when he is fully backed.
Jemima Puddleduck is my little Shetland who is easy to handle and groom, safe around anyone.
Youngsters need experienced handlers and would prefer someone to take on both. £100 a month plus hay, feed, farrier, vet and dentist
Shetland is. £50 a month plus farrier, vet and dentist
So basically you want someone to pay monthly for the privilege of looking after your yet rideable horses, cover the hay, vet fees,farrier etc and break them in for for you. Jesus christ
