I don’t actually think that’s too bad as an advert. Something low level would fit the bill. Might not be a world beater.
I saw a TB hunter on fb for loan on Facebook that fits that bill.

I agree that a loan might be an option but these days even the old bargain basement types will set them back more than £1k if it's for sale.

And if I was loaning my horse, I'd be looking for more info on the sort of home they were going to.
I'd also, at risk of sounding a snob, want to know I could communicate easily with the loaner, and the poster's writing style isn't one I find easy to read and understand.

stunning riding hat for sale unfortunately too big for me as when I was measured for them I had extensions in
gatehouse .. paid £90 for it but atleast wanting £60 for it as it has a few scuffs on back from when I fell off
Seriously who buys a hat that's been damaged in a fall?

You can often get Gatehouse hats in the sale for half price .

At least I suppose they owned up to it being damaged. I am always dubious about buying a second hand hat.

Currently have a 12hh very delicately built older lead rein/ second pony type for sale
….email today… “is the pony suitable for my 6 year old and me to ride occasionally to keep him going”
assuming as an adult you weigh over 45kg, that won’t “keep him going”, it’ll finish him off!

Suppose putting it that way at least you know he can put up with quite alot, makes you wonder what else they have been subjecting him to.Well I don't know maybe they are - they make me want to buy him just to get him out of there
Surely someone at the yard or knows them would mention the bit and that bridle, scary if not goes to show how many clueless people around horses.

I'm not sure if this is cheeky or not, but it seems rather strange to me...
Just seen an advert by a breeder to reserve in utero their 2025 foals, but your reservation only works depending on sex, colour and possibly quality of foal. So you could reserve a foal and if it comes out a filly, you can't have it, if it's a colt you can buy it, but only if its not buckskin... Why bother reserving in that case (or opening reservations)? why not wait until the foal is on the ground and see if you want to keep it or not before advertising? What's the point of reserving a foal you potentially won't have? It just all seems like a waste of time to me.

Bizarre- sounds like a way of the breeder having their cake and eating it; getting the foals ‘sold’……unless they’re desirable, in which case they want to keep.

it's basically lining people up who'll take the horse if it comes out a way they don't want!? which i guess is either genius or peak CFery depending on how you look at it.

Still wittering on
I've seen a few that irk me - "Available at a fraction of true value because...."
- Old
- Injured
- Sarcoids
- Out of work
Well then that is no longer the true value is it?
I know they mean 'quality or experienced or proven horse at lower price because of.... ' but it just seems an odd way of saying it! Like the broken 18 year old who was a 2* horse once upon a time is still worth what he was 8 years ago.

Sounds like you've both put your fingers on it. I just can't see what the advantage is for the "reserver", unless they absolutely want a colt?
FieldOrnaments

if it's that crucial for the foal to be a certain sex/colour/etc they'd be better off just going and buying what they want!

That's not unusual with Suffolk foals. Fillies are sought after so deposits are put on unborn foals and if it's a filly they will take it, if it's a colt then they may not (and they get their deposit back). That means you also get people 'reserving' a potential colt (to be a stallion) but if it's a filly it will likely go to someone else or the breeder may keep it.
ETA there are around 25 foals each year and there are usually more colts than foals.

Very interesting, thanks. I suppose it would make sense on a rare breed but these were sports pony types with what looked to be a penchant for fancy colours. Some of the ones you couldn't have were buckskin, LP, etc...
It was the foal that you could have if it was a colt or possibly if it was a filly that gave me the impression that you could only have it if it wasn't of great quality that got me.
