She says it's fine because it's used (apparently) for fly strike in sheep!
It even says on the container not to allow contact with skin

A lot of people said why the hell are you putting Jeyes fluid on a horse and to stop it. Others are advising which wormers to use

Tentatively looking for a new companion home for my now retired horse of a lifetime…
* is a senior citizen (mid twenties this year) who is looking for someone kind and knowledgeable to look after her whilst she puts her hooves up!
Ideally this would be a long-term loan position. Financially I will look after her - feet, worming, vets, hard feed etc. All I’d ask is for you to provide care, along with hay and bedding where needed.
She is a small horse, so very easy to deal with and won’t eat you out of house and home! Temperament wise she is a giant Labrador. Super easy to do in all ways, very affectionate and never mareish. She can live with mares and/or geldings no problem and will respect electric fencing etc.
She’s just an amazing horse all round, hence why I’ve kept hold of her since she was * years old!
LOCATION ideally to stay within ***, as close to where I live as possible
. 5* home only with references.
*I must emphasise this is a companion home only - NO RIDING *
Honestly, I tried to see it from her side?
I have a fantastic horse with retirement on the horizon in next year or two, who is the definition of easy. He can be left alone if necessary, turned out with anything. So friendly, ideal companion. However… this advert sounds like please provide me with free retirement livery?
Unless I was giving to a friend who NEEDED a companion and it was a symbiotic relationship type deal, can’t imagine leaving a horse somewhere with no financial contribution. Yes expenses paid for but it just doesn’t sound right?

I think this is fine tbh especially because she's paying the majority of the bills! If I was someone looking for a companion and saw this I'd jump at the opportunity as it reminds me of similar perks when you rescue a companion.

I was reading reviews of Deosect last week and read one saying “horse didn’t like the taste, had to dip syringe tip in honey”
I read it several times before spotting that a review for Ivermectin had been entered along with all the Deosect reviews.

somehow doubting a genuine 5* rider would need to advertise on facebook or want something 'on loan'; surely people would be queueing up for them to ride their horse and they'd be, if anything, looking for a lease to ride a competition animal they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford?Is it an actual 5* rider or just someone who's awarded themselves 5 stars?

I'm seeing more and more French adverts saying they're looking for a "life partner". Is it just me or does this sound more like a dating advert than someone looking for a horse?

I would love to call her bluff, ie email her offering the perfect horse and even suggest that I pay the expenses, make it too good to be true, then ask for a video of her riding and email her back saying "sorry you are not good enough for my horse"

I think it’s an attempt to get around the no advertising animals rule, FB has got weird about what it’ll take down recently.
(I’m in a couple of model horse groups and they’re prone to regular takedowns of ads because we’re ‘selling livestock’!)

Maybe that's it, but these are wanted adds not for sale adds. Not sure if they also get taken down? When I posted a wanted add for a companion horse last summer, I didn't have any issues.

That was the setup I offered down south - I needed a companion, didn’t really want the cost of a second one so offered to do all the care at cost, Ie the owner covered expenses but I did the daily care and didn’t charge anything for that side.Tentatively looking for a new companion home for my now retired horse of a lifetime…

Looking for $500 and under horses.

And no I'm not killing them. I'm gonna ride them!!! Just check us out for reassurance. We love the projects!!!
