Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

I can't be on the right pages either!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Local facebook selling page - a girl is advertising saddles and rugs for sale, nothing odd about that...BUT she's been putting posts on other facebook sites looking for saddles etc for "rescue ponies" and putting whatever donations up for sale....only it gets worse as people who have bought the goods via paypal have not recieved anything....a right shitstorm has erupted....

Interesting what with all the recent tack room burglaries recently (Herts/Essex area)

Does anyone have or know of any horses that fit my criteria for full loan? (Must be full loan, no parts/shares and no sales)
-between 15hh and 16hh
-no younger than 7
-no bronking, rearing, bucking etc, don't mind the odd excited buck but nothing nasty
-absolutely MUST be a saint to handle!
-good allrounder (must hack, jump, travel and school sensibly)
-must be good for farrier, clipping, dentist etc
-no heavy plods please☺️
-must come with tack
-To move yards to brightlingsea
-suitable to eventually jump affiliated or 3ft+ unaffiliated
To be suitable as a fairly experienced 15 year olds first horse
Mainly to be used for showjumping but there will be a fair amount of XC and I go to the local riding club a lot in the summer so must be a good allrounder as stated above☺️
If you know of or have a horse that would fit my criteria please comment below or message me, thankyou😊

Excellent.
I have a young (but not too young) talented saint that I am just desperate to hand over to be ridden into the ground...

If I were looking for a horse to loan I'd be putting an extremely similar advert up, apart from the fact I'm in my 30s, don't mind a 'heavy plod' and don't jump...

 

[Chuffy99]

It’s a fantastic wish list ad, just what we all dream of along with probably the necessity of a 8k budget, the no sales may be a bit of a problem!

 

[SpringArising]

Why would you assume it will be ridden into the ground? You can be young and also considerate.

It sounds like she’s looking for a perfect horse mind you...

 

[Tiddlypom]

It sounds like she’s looking for a perfect horse mind you...

Which she wants for free, and to come with tack...

 

[Snowfilly]

That last ad sounds fine to me, a couple of friends loaned out very similar horses while going to uni or backpacking or having babies. If you've got one of those almost perfect horses, you don't really want to sell them as they're impossible to replace.

Sounds like a keen young rider with a lot planned and I'm sure the horse will be fine even if it does end up going out twice a week through the summer. A bit of cross county and riding club rallies are not 'being ridden into the ground!'

 

[Tiddlypom]

Yup, and I've got a really nice type out on loan to a 14yo girl, who was 13yo at the start of the loan.

Would I have replied to a similar advert from a 15yo stranger? No.

With that breeding and colouring, she'll get plenty of interest. Sister to an international GP winner and an elite grading with the toughest standard in Europe. You might even ask why she's cheap!

Still no excuse for a crap picture they could have at least stood her up and got her to look ahead.

Why do they need an excuse? They need viewers, not an excuse, and with that breeding, she will get viewers if they make her look like a donkey. Nothing gets an elite KWPN grading without being a seriously well made and sound horse with clear x rays.

I’ve worked with a lot of KWPNs and the only one that went horribly wrong was one that was elite graded and had x-rays. I’d never go on just breeding. But that’s just me. I wouldn’t have the budget to buy anything like that so thankfully I’d never have to worry

Same. My three best graded horses have been three disasters. My friend's elite graded horse cost more than fifty percent more than that mare and had dicky hocks at eleven though she's very low mileage. I won't be viewing her either

Me too! Although I'd probably specify that I knew I was asking a lot, and was happy with short-term loans to provide maternity cover, etc ...

The info in the ad is terrible- she is not a sister to the named horse (1.45 winner at 3* shows), she is by the same stallion. With a bit of research I found this mare who is actually well related and a jolly nice sort. The advert does her no favours.

I’d still like to see that she has two eyes, at the very least. For £20k.

So it would seem that alot of people's new years resolutions are to compete more and to do that they need transport. The easiest option for most people is to get a 3.5t box as you don't need any special licence to drive one. What is making me laugh is what people expect to pay for them! in the last 3 days alone I have seen at least 10 ads wanting boxes with maximum weight allowance for horses, carry big horses, be low milage, in almost perfect working order, have a kitchen etc. for ...

£3-6k! Yup! If you can find a 3.5t for that price that isn't falling to pieces and needs at least that much money again in work then good on you! But I do chuckle because they clearly have no clue as to the value of anything!

Bloody hell. I thought I was a pretty stingy individual but that's surely trolling? Though, in all fairness, you could probably get a 'flat pack' 3.5t for that much

'This is a serious horse for a serious professional rider '

=it's a bit of a head case, or just me?

I had a good none horsey one this week. 'does anyone know who this van belongs to, it is blocking my parents' drive all night'... adds photo of fully sign written van with company, mobile number, website, email address...
I imagine someone was as sarky as I was feeling as it got taken down

Have been following this thread for a while now, but first contribution as this made me raise an eyebrow...

Someone has made a new year's resolution to get back on a horse so is looking for a lovely loan horse which must be a confidence giver that she can treat as her own...doesn't have much money so will give a "small amount" each month or do some poo picking...

Some one suggested that she should really be going for lessons at a riding school

Sounds like a valid comment to me!

Reminds me of one I saw the other day:
‘My missus wants to start riding again. She rode a lot when she was a child. Does anyone have a horse that needs exercising that she can start riding on again?’

He got really shirty when someone replied with the name of a local riding school, and someone else asked why anyone would entrust the care of their biggest financial investment after mortgage and car to a complete stranger who hadn’t ridden in years...

 

[Shooting Star]

Perhaps not cheeky but funny...

Sophie Christiansen (as in CBE) advertised a saddle for sale on the local area FB page earlier and the first comment was ... “is this a dressage saddle ?” suspect that person may come to regret their comment soon

 

[lar]

Somebody shared an ad on fb for a nice looking sort accompanied by at LEAST 30 photos of it SJ and clearing some proper jaw dropping hedges out hunting.
So far so good but I did have to smile that one of the comments was " does it jump?"
