Wow that’s fab to know! My perfect horse might be out there without me having to take out a second mortgage (which is starting to feel like that’s what I’m going to have to do...)

Mine was meat money. A little bit of work and hes turned into the horse of a lifetime for me. The world is full of cheap horses, you just hav to sift the wheat from the chaff sometimes

If you know what you are looking for and can see the bones underneath and not just what you see in front of you you will always be able to find a bargain. It's the ones looking for cheap horses that don't want to look more than skin deep that don't know what they are getting.

I've just had a rescue foal bought be as a Christmas present as I've been needing a companion for Dante since loosing Rupert. He was going for meat, but I know he'll turn into the most beautiful little lad with a fab temperament to match :) He cost just £200!

So today I am amused by a comment on a sales post.

'Schoolmaster, 14.2 irish sports pony, careful athletic jump, competed scope, blue chip, poys, ehpi, pony premiers. Hunted, XC and ODE, genuine honest pony.'


response
'Hi is he/she easy to muck out? Thanks'

ermm priorities on a pony that appears to take it's job fairly seriously? I mean I like my tidy easy to muck out pony but I think I could let that slide.

I just don't know where people get these questions from I mean if your looking for a horse do you ever think to ask the seller if he is clean to muck out its hardly a priority is it.

having had my lad who is the filthiest horse who has ever walked the earth I probably would ask, but only as a "good to know" when picking up the horse.

Having seen a big young lad churn up 6 bales of Hunters shavings every evening into a brown swamp (thankfully he isn't mine) I can imagine his owner asking the same question of a potential purchase!

I have asked, and had a gander at the bed when at a viewing.

However it would not be the one and only question I would ask when responding to an advert on facebook.

The seller has liked the comment but not responded ;)

Wanted.
Preferably barren mare.. any breed or size over 13.2hh or reg Welsh/Hackney mare 13h plus.
Low budget available.

To be a companion for 16 year old stallion. Apparently the mare will enjoy the sexual attention of being chased by stallion!

Could it be an very unfortunate typo / auto correct of hack out?

Grazing areas around Manege - also unfenced

Ah ok.. what you have there is otherwise known as a field

I thought I had seen it all.

Someone is advertising sheath cleaning services for £20. Happy to travel up to 40miles, more if over 10 horses to do.

There’s one local to me that does this. I think it’s probably a popular service although goodness knows how they fell into that line of work!

Putting yourself in kicking range with an unknown horse sounds bonkers to me. I do my own as they are good, but I can’t say I’d want to do it full time. It’s a horrible job!
