I rode there for a few years, until about 4 or 5 years ago. I don’t think there were any opportunities to do vaulting, but while I was there they did take on a beautiful and enormous ex-vaulting horse for the school. I rode him once or twice, and he had a ridiculously comfortable trot.

I think I have seen the same ones and I'm like 'how?!' How and also why?Youngish girl on Facebook selling horses. Lots of the recent pictures are of her in shorts riding about. I’ve only done this once as a stupid teenager and it bloomin hurt
For some reason FB has decided I want to see Dun Dealers in my feed. I do not. (And have hidden the posts).

I did it once as a teenager. My mum told me it would hurt; I told her she was being old fashioned and boring, and it would be fine. She said ok.
She was right.
I don’t know how she didn’t spend the best week saying ‘I told you so.’

Another sales advert on FB. Three year old dressage horse with a young man sat on it wearing some very snazzy pyjamas and trainers.
Advert states serious viewings only. How about a serious advert then?

£5k for bilateral front arthritis in something that is being marketed in the advert as a jumper is bold...

That's such a sad advert for the horse. To summarise: make as much money as we can and let someone work it to death. People are such a***holes.

Poor sod. That is a desperately sad ad.

Most likely, he was an incredibly smart looking horse and very amicable it sounds if he's 'happily' in full work with that condition - desperately sad.
I would take him for £1 just because it made me sad, but something tells me they wouldn't take it... Some novice somewhere is going to have a very abrupt introduction into what it is to be a horse owner/buy a horse.

Ridiculous response to a sales ad someone clearly hasn’t read properly. For a horse that’s competed dressage successfully in the past and had spent a year or so being a broodmare…..is she broken?
no, we just take them straight into the test and hope for the best. Rodeo dressage- a whole new sport

Perhaps they meant it as in “is it injured?” - if it’s had a year off to have a foal?

the ad stipulated not….but the respondent obviously hadn’t read that part either!

On HorseQuest:
"For sale through no fault of his own, 5 star home is an absolute must for this lovely boy. Price reflects the fact that he would NOT PASS a 2 stage vetting. You are getting a £10K horse for £4K. So, not surprisingly the price is NOT negotiable."
So if he were sound he'd be worth a lot more? Fair enough, but if he's not sound he's not a £10k horse!

Someone trying to sell a 3.5t horsebox for £1000 with this list of 'repair immediately' MOT advisories (and this list isn't including the 'repair soon' and 'advised to repair' sections!)
They claim they're injured and can't drive, but I'm calling lies. I think the mechanic offered them £450 scrap after this MOT failure and they're chancing their arm that some idiot will take it.
To even weld a repair on these things (I can weld myself) you need something to anchor the plate/new steel section to and it just sounds like this is dust pretty much throughout structurally.

What are you supposed to do with a £10K horse that's broken I wonder?
. £4K is a lot of money for a field ornament, that may or may not require regular veterinary treatment/investigations

Perhaps the £10k is the amount it would take to get it field sound
