13 year old 16.1 ex racer companion forever home only... £1000. Who the heck is going to shell out £1000 for a companion when you can get them a penny to the dozen at the best of times?! I'm genuinely convinced some people live under a rock.

Yep, I saw one for £500, big TB, poor doer with feet so bad it had to be shod even though it couldn't be ridden.

We have 2 companions at the yard like that. One has always had poor crumbly feet, the other has mahoosive dinner plate feet that splay badly when not get in check by a few clips around the shoe. They are only shod in front, not behind.

Ad states: “COULD DO WITH A PAINT JOB IF YOUR FUSSY”

Call me fussy, but it looks like Jack Nicholson has gone full ‘shining’ in every metal panel!

Are they horses you retired yourself or are they horses you bought as companions?

They were racehorses that were firm favourites in the yard so never left. They now have the top job of keeping the idiots company in the fields.

Anyone want a 15.2h 23 year old mare as a Companion who doesn’t like being left alone thus needing a companion herself !

New Only Fans idea!

 

[Ambers Echo]

Not ridiculous perhaps, but a rad over-stated???

Post 1 = complaints about no rosettes at GOBE. Fair enough, I imgaine it would be disappointing if you entered to give BE a go and actually placed.

BUT omg the replies

* Utterly disgusting
* I mean why bother even going.

And my favourite:

* My daughter works so hard and is super ambitious and wants to go up the levels even though we aren't made of money. So unfair. (Crying emoji).

Wait what? Your ambitious, hardworking daughter has decided the slog of making it an eventer is not worth it, if she does not get a frilly?

Advert for spaces on a yard offering various services including schooling livery….later reads “no nappy or naughty horses”

…please send us your easy horses for easy money!

I saw one today that described what sounded like a lovely pony (with pics complete with happy child), until it stated in capitals at the bottom that it’s sold from the field as a project. Price is as untouched but handled 3yo, it’s 4 and has apparently been ridden just fine by a child…until the confusing capitals. The reader is left wondering what happened that the capitals were added and the ad not rewritten to match!

14 year old 'gorgerous mare' sold from field has have had not time for post 18 months. Doesn't like dressage or SJ. Very strong XC. Can't cope with comp environment. Jogs and spooks hacking. But other than that absolutely perfect - you can ride her in a head collar.

Ride her in a head collar doing what exactly?

Team chasing maybe

Another very tall person - this pony is meant to be 14hh

I saw one on Instagram recently announcing "we've just measured him and he's 20hh" accompanied by a video showing him with a woman giving him cuddles and the top of her head being level with/slightly above his withers. I had to DM to ask how tall the woman was as unless she's an international basketball player this is probably not the case. the answer was "5'11" but they're on a bit of a slope and we definitely measured him properly." Umm... no, you didn't!

To be fair after years of riding bloody massive horses anything below 16 hands looks tiny to me now. I was riding a friend's horse for a bit and I was telling everyone that it was tiny at about 14 hands and she corrected me that he was 15.1 or something!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Not on public view on fb. We have 2 horses looking for homes. Someone messages asking if they are mares of geldings - if they read the post the would know. So the boss replies and says both geldings what do you want to do with a horse. Person replies - eventing, a bit of everything really. So the boss says we have a 2yo Filly but won't be ready for eventing for a while yet. They reply with 'is it on the way there or just not an option at all." Yeah. No. Your not having a horse mate.

This one is "rising 8", certainly rising anyway

Saw this on a group that was posted with the same expression of "what the hell"

 

[IrishMilo]

Non verbatim... 2 x ponies under 12.2 looking for new carers as I can no longer manage. One can be ridden on its own terms. The second just backed doing walk and trot. Neither can leave the yard without the other as too bonded. Financial contribution required.

Hmm...

 

[Goldie's mum]

Sorry, not horse related but I thought someone might want to buy a home-carved walking stick. (It's a lion, but you knew that from looking at it, didn't you.) Only E146.32

She does clarify further down she means she will pay to share not be paid.

I didn't read it like that, not sure why anyone did. I thought what she wrote was quite plain. " Will muck out, groom, exercise, love etc and provide financial contribution to treat like our own."

She edited the post.
Previously said, " Will muck out, groom, exercise, love etc in return for financial contribution to treat like our own."
