These FB auction sites worry the hell out of me. All manner of horses bunged up on a short auction and off they go. You look at the profile of some (not all) of the people bidding and think noooooooooo.
The latest is a nice looking mare, intermittently lame but no investigation done but would make a good broodmare (for breeding what hereditary lameness?) last bid and I presume winning bid was for only a few hundred £s. So where has that one gone then? I look forward to seeing this horse up for sale again in a week or so for £6,000.
A few weeks ago - an ex-racer. Sold for no money to someone with a Facebook profile that has no photos of horses, no horsey friends, no indication of previous involvement with horses. It would worry me. Where has that horse gone?
