Free - sofa for tack room. I am offering my sofa for free to anyone who wants to come and pick it up. It's a year old and in good condition. My cat won't stop peeing on it and I can't get the smell out so need it out of my house.


Yeah like someone is going to want that in their tack room!

So they want someone to work 35+ hours a week (requirement for carers allowance) for £62.50 a week and if that isn't rare enough be tiny enough to ride a 10 hh!

Well it didn't sound easy and stress free to me, but you can do additional voluntary hours too.

I just didn't get the carers allowance thing, most people I know that have similar set ups with personal assistants/grooms are paid a salary through their support award, not carers allowance with you then topping it up with income support?

The whole thing just confused me really, it sounds like something you would get a good friend to do, not advertise nationally on facebook?

Not to be missed, 15h bay 6 year old mare not broken. Has sweet itch. Has had 1 colt foal. Has ran for 4 weeks with welsh A stallion. No passport.

[miss_c]

One I saw yesterday on a local group... looking for the perfect kids pony, budget of £200... They weren't taking kindly to being told that they should probably add another zero on that.

 

[Antw23uk]

Just seen an ad on Facebook of an amateur woman looking sponsorship for her 4 horses. All jumping 1m max. But in return she'll put the company name onto the lorry...

 

[rallan15]

Just saw an ad that says this:

Okay so me and my friend were looking for a horse to loan together Friday Saturday and Sunday.
My friend will be working on cantering position and jumping and she will be teaching me how to canter
We are nearly 12 and nearly 13 looking to be around uddingston area but can be else where so if u have a horse in mind or have Ur own horse that's up for loan then on me details
Thanks!

The only replies she's had are people telling her to get lessons etc which isn't suprising!

I can forgive pony mad kids though, if I'd have had social media when I was a kid I'd have been after all sorts! but adults, they can jog on.

Yes I get what you mean! I will admit when I was 12 I went through a phase of looking online and asking people myself if I could share their horses but then I was a confident rider and not wanting my 13 year old friend to teach me! Adults are ridiculous though especially on facebook.

There's currently a thread about a disabled woman who bought a horse unseen from Ireland, with no passport, from a known dodgy dealer because it was cheap and is now complaining about the vets bills. It was dark when it arrived, but she still rode it the next day and plenty of days after before complaining that it was in poor condition! The horse was bought in June.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Meleeka, I saw that one too.

Tbh, so many of the threads on the dodgy dealer site are from numpty inexperienced buyers who buy unseen, and then can't cope with what they've bought. It makes my teeth itch.

 

[FfionWinnie]

Saw an ad for mountain horse riding boots. "They are too big and I've only worn them for a month so just looking to get the 84.99 I paid for them back so I can get something else".

They looked like they had been worn for a year at least.

What is it with people who think folk will pay the new price for their second hand tat

I saw that one as well. Someone posted pics of his other horses, they were all in poor condition. There was also a horrific jumping pic.

From looking at his FB, he's also about 12! Goodness knows why the OP thought they'd get anything decent, judging just by what's there for anyone to see.

This really gets me, especially when you're selling good quality items at cheep prices and nobody wants them!

 

[JustMe22]

Somebody on one of my local groups has a ' bargain package deal' consisting of 6 horses (3 stallions), three saddles, a bunch of saddlepads, a bridle, and some farrier tools.

Three of the horses are broken, but 'need more work on their lateral faction.'

Everything HAS to go together.

Aww, don't mock kids. That's not nice.

 

[Embo]

For sale: 9yo attractive horse. Has mild kissing spine which is treated regularly by a chiropractor. Vet has said it shouldn't be too much of an issue because if you xray all the horses on they yard, half of them would have the same thing. Hasn't been in work since diagnosis well over a year ago.

£4,000.

Owner has been trying to put this horse on full loan for a very long time due to the above. Assume something has happened as this horse, and her other one, are now up for sale.

Not exactly mocking them but really I hope I wasn't that immature when I was that age.

 

[redapple]

saw this one earlier.... "Looking for a nice horse got to be 14h or over broken in to ride care me with saddle and bride and rug (if have feed , feed included). £1000 or less
Thank you in advance" not particularly cheeky but feed included?! Forever?! I'm confused - I've never seen that before!

 

[Chinchilla]

Not cheeky as such just tragic. http://horses4homes.net/portal/en/details/teddie-12687

Ad last updated oct. 2015, he was 32 then, but that aside, there's this bit: "Horse is involved in the following activities
Companion only, not ridden, Light hacking, Daily hacking, Schooling"

Ummm contradictory much?

 

[Laika]

I saw an ad selling a Welsh D Colt and described him as a quiet colt... with a picture of him rearing up.

Really selling that quiet idea...
