Aged mare available as a companion over the winter months 16.1hh

Winter months only and never broken to ride

Can you please look after my retired horse over the winter I don’t want to pay to feed her

Not sure what to make of this

What is he crossed with? A dragon?

 

[skint.spotty]

depending on how much danger money they're charging I'd be up for that

That is terrifying although my four year old would love that to use as a toy

If I was a collector i'd feel bad for it and buy it as an ugly duckling piece lol

 

[Lois Lame]

I don't know... I like it. But I'm starting to think it's very big, and that door is a real door...

I think if you got a permanent black marker and filled in the eye a bit he'd look less ugly duckling...

If the photo had been taken from down at its level, I think it might be quite nice. The foreshortening from taking it higher up is making it look the wrong shape. Agree about blacking in the eye. I see similar size ones of other breeds in a garden centre for sale and they are quite realistic.

 

[PinkvSantaboots]

I think a prettier one would be preferable I've never seen them that big before though.

 

[cauda equina]

That poor thing is very "common", to use an old fashioned term

 

[Cowpony]

Can't be real, its feathers are too clean. And you'd need a yellow highlighter on that tail......

 

[Caol Ila]

I think they are selling one of these.

Not cheeky but thought it was funny.

Big warning about a local yard and they had details of what they're advertising and stuff..

And then RIGHT BELOW below is the person who's advertising the yard

£5k for an OTTB that’s done a bit of schooling at home (not been out by the looks of it) with the a cataract and has failed the vet anyone?

Can’t understand why you wouldn’t get it removed if it’s as harmless as they say?!

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

People clearly don't read posts! Post says to click on the pics for more details and prices of the horses. First message? "Hi, what are the horses and what price are they?" ... head. Brick wall. Bang. I am very tempted to screenshot the post, highlight the bit that says click on the pics and send it back to them!

Sale of a 20 year old horse who has a bit of arthritis plus sweetitch.

Because it would cost several thousand to do it, which they probably don't have.

Stupid price they're asking, though.

What the hell

 

[Errin Paddywack]

What the hell

That is really nasty, if you zoom in it looks as though it might go down to the bone.

It is to the bone I'm afraid she replied to another comment saying its deep enough you can find bone !!! Poor baby

 

[Steerpike]

That's on the veterinary page on fb and you aren't technically supposed to screenshot them and share them otherwise you get booted

 

[Snowfilly]

What the hell

Tbf I’d want more details on that one, it’s the vet help page and it’s not unusual to have people who literally have no access to vets on there, 500 miles + away from help. I’m always a bit horrified at those questions, but if you’ve got no other source of help, I guess it’s better than nothing…

 

[Cowpony]

Just dropping this here. Not cheeky or ridiculous, just hilarious and very honest!

Considering letting bellend go on loan, short or long term.
Approx 12.3 Welsh gelding.
If you want an innocent saint of a pony he’s not for you. He’s a temperamental shite with little man syndrome!
9/10 lovely on the ground but can have off days where he’s a rude.
Under saddle if he thinks your an idiot he will treat you like one, when he’s being good he’s a lazy kick type which could easily fool anyone but he’s a nappy shite when he wants to be and will be on his back legs. When he was in work he did get out of it but I know Benny and know there’s a 99.9% chance of it happening again
He also fails to realise he’s not got his so if there’s a mare he likes he will mount it otherwise a good companion.
I love this pony and think he’s hilarious but am well aware he’s far from everyone’s cup of tea.

 

[Titchy Reindeer]

Just seen an add for a 2 yo filly on facebook where they've felt the need to say the horse is fed every day in the text. I think they've probably already had comments on how thin she looks. I wouldn't be surprised, she makes my 26yo look fat. I wouldn't want her, she's either not being fed enough or has an underlying problem, which isn't a good start to life.

 

[Pippity]

There's a missing pony ad doing the rounds on my FB that has the opposite problem. Poor little sod is almost as fat as the cob mentioned upthread.

 

[Ceifer]

Not really cheeky but there’s a video appeared on my Facebook of a trainer starting a young mare in a round pen.
Horse doesn’t look overly stressed but is cantering round bucking. There’s a dog on the outside of the pen trying to herd the horse and the woman working the horse is chasing it around with a lunge line.
And my question is what is this achieving? Also all I can see is if the horse does turn and fly buck and catch her she’s dead, she’s not wearing a hat.

There was a local woman who was working a horse in a round pen. Once she’d finished the horse got down and rolled. She approached it and as it got up it turned, squealed and bucked. Kicked her in the sternum. Broken ribs and punctured lung.

 

[AmyMay]

I have no idea what chasing a horse around a round pen (or any space) is supposed to achieve

Whereabouts in the country/world was this? As this sounds like someone I know!
