Could she maybe have meant she rides like a bigger horse?

Doesn't everyone want that!
Suppose she doesn't rule out older or health issues which could bring it in budget

Anyone able to come clip my 2 horses before the weekend? Don't want to pay more than 10-20 for it.
Yes love. Someone is going to drop everything to come and clip 2 unknown horses for £20! Clipping well is a skill worth far more than £10-20!
Another fb post that made me laugh was from the local vets and their clipping prices this year! You have to take the horse in to them so no call out fee. They won't clip legs at all this year. The fee includes 1 round of sedation - just the drugs mind! Not the needge, syringe and the process of injecting. And you pay if you horse needs a top up. For a full body clip with legs and half head left on your looking at £99 ... yup! £99!!!! I'm in the wrong job!

I think a friend of mine just paid £60 for a full clip on a very big 17.3 horse so I suppose £99 including a sedation jab would be about right not cheap I know especially if the horse needs another jab on top.

Last time I had to call the vet to sedate for clipping I think it cost £120 and I had to do the clipping myself!
For the convenience of not ending up with hair in your bra/eyes/nose/anywhere else irritating I’d happily pay someone else to do it! Mine is a right pain to clip though as even heavily sedated you can’t use normal clippers, has to be quiet ones!

oh no please don't remind me hair in bra and face is not good and I have to clip one of mine this week and not looking forward to it at all
and to be fair both my horses are fairly good to clip but it's a loathsome job I really don't like doing.Annagain

I saw one a couple of days ago.
"Can anyone come and clip my horse this afternoon? Must be done by 6.00 for me to go lesson."
.....It was posted at 4.20pm (note the lack of a please too!)

Just saw this on a local page. Such an informative, friendly ad.
“This prob isn't the time for me to do this because I can't get my head around the fact my daughter wants to sell this one in a million. Boombproof doesn't come close. She is a jumping machine. You're gonna have to try very hard before I even consider you as a forever home.”

Just seen this one "young/small adult rider with experience and courage wanted to ride my cob. He's very safe. A dope on a rope. He's lazy and doesn't want to do much so will throw a few small bucks in. Nothing dangerous. "
Well then he's not "very safe" and why do you want a rider with "courage"?! What is the matter with people?!

"warmblood yearling looking to be a companion, she does have very poor lower leg conformation.
I don't think she will ever be able to be ridden but could possibly be used as a broodmare."
At least its "possibly"!

I would love o do a follow up with some of these people to find out if they actually got what they were looking for... maybe we’re all doing it wrong lol!
I mean, there may well be a 6 year old 16.3 ISH who is currently working at Elementary and pops a course of 90cm while also being bombproof and a saint to handle, for £500 out there, and I’m missing out because I haven’t asked on Facebook. And maybe I can livery this horse on full livery for £35/month...

I pay £35 inc ad lib haylage and bedding at cost. We have a lovely area, a round pen, a field with portable XC jumps, indvidual tackrooms and no poo picking :biggrin3:
Unless they mean full livery in which case not a chance!

Yes! Same! Though mine was unbroken but everything else was there, she's perfect. She was actually £620 (and by far the most expensive horse I've ever bought lol)
