Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

Re the dirty rugs, I think sometimes if people have to pay £10 or so to have the rug washed, they then have to recoup that along with what they originally wanted for the rug making it too expensive. My reasoning for not selling my old rugs anyway !

 

[Clare85]

You mean you couldn't?

I most certainly couldn't.......be bothered to respond!

'Is anyone selling a horse no ponys
£600
Quite tall soft hair nothing really furey any coulor broke in with shoes good temprerment good when riding and driveing on roads'
The mind boggles!!!!

There's someone on KEG who is looking for a 16h WB suitable for a novice but capable of going out and doing a test with a max age of 16. They cannot find one for their budget of £2000 - surprising that...

There's another who is asking about retained testicle cost - they can't justify £1000 on doing it so are going to give it away. This is a horse that they 'rescued' and have nursed back to health - now facing an uncertain future loads of people saying 'get a rescue to take it' - yeah cause rescues are bursting with money to get your animals gelded for you grrrr

Someone on our local one wants free bale wrap, someone offered a wool-pack full of it(we recycle it here), only to be informed the poster was after new unused wrap... Of course, why would we have thought otherwise!?!
People with champagne tastes and beer budgets are always looking for unicorns the world over it seems, and nobody's shy about hocking their old buggered gear!

Someone's looking for a cheap cob. I messaged them with the details of mine - apparently £600 isn't cheap for a 14h2 3yo expected to make 15h+ that has accepts saddle and bridle and long lines...

Well duh, it isnt free!

 

[Pippity]

Well duh, it isnt free!

And it isn't broken in and doesn't come with all tack!

 

[hairycob]

And it hasn't got a record of winning at shows. Really how could you possibly not expect to have to pay them to take it away? ��

 

[glamourpuss]

There was a post the other day
'Free to good home. Home will be vetted. Due to a sudden, drastic change in my personal circumstances I need to rehome [insert pony's name] 6 years old 13hh. Has been lightly backed/broken but hasn't done anything for 12 months due to lack of rider & time.
Sweet natured, good to shoe etc'

1st response
'Is he a good jumper? Does he come with tack & rugs?'

I've just had "one of those" responses to my preloved share ad....

Would you consider moving your horse to my land/stables in town 20 miles away

Err, no! I'm offering a 2 to 3 day a week share and she is currently on a fabulous yard 5 minutes from home!!

Corker this morning:
Someone ranting that someone has stolen a flexi tub feed bucket from their horses field. Lots of people pointing out that flexi tubs are v light & it has been v windy.
No, she has looked & can't find it therefore it has been stolen.

Yes the trees and hedge kept stealing mine but they obviously don't like recycled tyre trugs because they never take them. Do you think that's because they boring black and the Tub Trugs were pretty colours?

Saw one today of a woman who had a 4yo who she wanted someone to come regularly and break in for her...but she can't afford to pay!!!

 

[hairycob]

We must be due some "horse theives have plaited my horses mane" posts with the current windy weather.

 

[Penny Less]

Well my horse is hogged so obviously he is safe

We must be due some "horse theives have plaited my horses mane" posts with the current windy weather.

I made the mistake of joking about that on my Facebook a while ago, as my Welsh X mare had managed to get herself the most impressive wind plait I've ever seen. I was bombarded with private messages warning me that she was definitely going to be stolen. Apparently my reply, that if they could catch a pony that detests strangers and elaborately plait her mane in the pitch dark three times in as many nights they were welcome to her, as they're obviously a better horseperson than I am, wasn't funny either. I was 'making light of a serious issue'. To date, she and her shoulder-length mane are still in the field, pulling hideous faces at strangers who walk past.

I had the same, somebody posted a pic of her horse who was plaited and about to be stolen, so I posted a post of my filly who also had a great wind note, oh that was it, my horse was plaiting and going to be stolen as well. Why can't people see its the wind!!

Yesterday a ad wanting cheap clipping, would like my horse clipped but haven't got much money so must be willing to come to mine and I can pay £10.
Some people are unreal!

Free lease of a horse to be moved to the property of the leasor, ideally with other horses if the leasor wants another project. Out of work for 12 months, just someone to bring him back into form and take care of him. No purchase, still the original owners horse just on your property being cared for by you until back up to muster....

Well sign me up!

Came across this earlier

Hello, does anyone have a cheap or free neoprene 38inch girth on please comment below or pm me if you do. Thanks

Yeah sure I'll gladly just give you one. Worst thing is I hate to say I actually know this person in my every day life!

Taken from one of the West Sussex groups

'Permanent loan home wanted for.....Norman...17.2 homebred gelding. 9 yo. Must be an experienced rider as he still needs lots of work . He has not worked for a year just had the winter turned out because no jokey. Get in touch if your interested'.

Well clearly Norman lost his sense of humour hence wintering out. Hehe.

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

Someone is asking for any spare Liverpool cream for their horse. Apparently the Vet has ok'd using other people's left over ...

But its ok! Now there are plenty of people saying to mix tumeric with black pepper and sudocream!

You can't beat the tumeric gang or the sudocream gang and when they join together it's a brand new supervirus!

I say the same about my elderly mare, she has knots in her mane every morning and has done for the last 10 years or so, hasn't been stolen yet. The tantrums she has when I try to undo them I am sure she hasn't stood for a stranger to plait her!

Saw a good one on preloved a girl wants a free horse to have lots of pleasure rides doesnt mind young, green or project horses but she's well known for selling them on.

[thatsmygirl]

I can't believe the one iv just seen,
Wanted.... 14,15hh must be good in everyway and hack along, must be very good to handle. £200 max plus must deliver.

What the bloody hell are these people thinking!! I felt like leaving a rude comment

 

[dizzyneddy]

Well it's not just horsey people that want things a cheap as chips or free its the same in the parrot world.

l have a parrot & l see no end of wanted ads for parrots particularly african greys, amazons & macaws where people want them for under £500 with their cage & belongings when they are worth more. Or sellers selling them on cos they can't talk or are too noisey so want to sell it & only to get another that can talk or is quiet. Others want a free parrot so they can make money off it. Its so unfair on any animal being passed from pillar to post especially from someones irresponsible impluse buy without researching any animal is a long term commitment & can be expensive to keep - rant over!!!
