COMPANION ONLY !!!!
[**] is a 14.1hh standardbred x Welsh, she cannot be riddden due to poor confrontation with her back legs and could make it worse. She is in no pain at all, there’s just no room for her atm. She is the sweetest mare ever has never done any harm but she can be a bit mare ish when she wants to be but she’s an absolute dream to have, lives out with 2 geldings at the minute, she’s out full time aswell ideally wanting 2

but a bit less is negotiable. She has to go to the right home since she is very loved.

Poor horse. She might be the kind I'd take on as a companion if I needed one, but I wouldn't be paying money for her.

Difficult to believe that's not an editing error, that they originally wrote 200 then meant to revise it to 3 carrots . They are insane if they think they can get 2k for a crocked companion.

Don’t suppose anyone’s available tomorrow (Friday 8th) from around 3pm—6pm who could tow a horse trailer? Would be going from Milton to Oakingham Stud (Compton) and back. Will of course pay fuel money

Mmmm tempting, 3 hours work for just fuel money.

And you get to use your own vehicle too by the sounds of it- bonus!!

Nope, it's prob a 3 hour trip each way with a trailer, that's before they start messing you about and you travel to and from your own home and hitch/unhitch horse trailer.

If I stuck that in my field my horses would run a mile let alone try and eat their hay from it

I would give it 2 days before that was blown out to sea to begin its next career as a seaweed feeder. Less need of the waterproof cover of course.

Is that a cot?!

 

[FinnishLapphund]

Not anymore.

Unless you live somewhere like in the Nordic countries where some parents like to let their babies take naps outdoors. Though I think they prefer to use prams.

The 16yo Indigo mare to be sold from the field has been advertised again.

Was £3k, then £12k, now £5k.

Shame that the seller can’t get her back into some sort of work. She might well be a really nice mare.

Local grooms job advert... 'you will work 2 in 3 weekends, your weekends off will start after Saturday afternoon.'

.... that's called working every weekend then surely?

Reddit: what color is my horse? Picture shows a chestnut. First response: it’s a red, yeah people will chime in with other colors like chestnut but it’s red because that horse has a red base.

 

[ester]

that usually comes from american's using sorrel, in part because it seems that depending on region they can't entirely agree what that actually is so 'red' sticks as the international option.

When I first read "My Friend Flicka" , it used the term sorrell and I had no idea what it was. By the end of the book I thought it was chestnut or palomino. The book had a palomino on the cover

When I read it again, years later I cheated and googled sorrell horses.

Someone looking for someone to take on full loan 3 young rescue cobs (ages 2 & 3) to stay where they are. Owner is pregnant. Would anyone really take them on?

Realistically no!

Just pay for someone to do them you can't expect to find a loaner for them what is wrong with people.

How much will you be paid to keep it?? Because that's not worth a penny of my money to buy

 

[Ample Prosecco]

No mention of any record either. Just a nice sounding, but oldish/broken walking vet bill. Advertised for £7k

You would have to pay me a substantial amount of money to take that on.

….they need to be sending it with £7k to fund the ongoing vets bills.

Just seen this as it’s popped up on my feed under Irish draughts for sale. Ridiculous.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

People seem to consistently confuse the term 'old and broken' with 'schoolmaster' - and they respectively command very different price tags!
