Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

In reply to someone going to look at a pony, their first ever horse purchase.

“Don’t buy the first one you see, unless you have seen others first”

😂😂
Made my day!
No one else seemed to find it funny though, all the replies were very indignant people who bought the first horse they saw and it was the greatest horse ever.

Depending on what they call ancient, they need a 1, 2 or a 3 between the £ and the 5

Someone selling their Horse as they want something to compete at a higher level, ends the advert to say they will switch for a mare and foal. The next day advert goes up to say Horse still for sale as no time for Horses but would consider something that can go and compete at a higher level. Seems the advert has appeared several times since all different reasons and asking for different types of Horses in return. Weird.

Saw a cracker this morning on FB. 16.3 companion or project. Must stay at her yard and she will allow you to pay reduced livery costs....

Hmmm....

Wanted - horse to loan.

I've only ridden a horse twice so I would need to be shown what to do but I'm a quick learner. Happy to make a financial contribution.


I've replied saying try a riding school!!

 

[Annagain]

This isn't horsey but I saw a sign at the weekend that really tickled me. It was at a little petting zoo and the entrance was down some steps....

"Disabled access avaalible. Please ask inside."

^ the definition of optimism.
Although if anyone IS "gifting" tack, gift it to me.

I saw this too. I replied saying if you can't afford to spend more than 500 and you need to be gifted tack, are you sure you can afford to keep 2 horses.

Think post has been deleted now.

 

[JulesRules]

Poster above is back. They have reworded their post to sound less cheapskate/skint. However I'm not sure where you can find a 16.5 horse these days 😂😂

Looking for 2 horse for about £500 each close to pontypridd area or can deliver for extra fuel cost
Must be broken ........... looking for something over 15. to about 16.5
Comes with tack if possible or some tack dont matter about breed but would like deatils on horse if you can many thanks

 

[southerncomfort]

I saw a very similar one the other. Lady asking for 2 cobs for her and a friend, maximum £1000 for the pair must come with tack etc. No other specifications/requirements, just 2 horses with tack please!

 

[Chinchilla]

Oh dear....I suppose it would be rude to tell them within six months of owning our "free" horse we had a £2000 vet bill.....
Also, if anyone really DOES have tack to give away, give it to Bransby Horses please http://bransbyhorses.co.uk/

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

One appeared on my time line yesterday asking for a bombproof Shetland, including tack for free for their kids to play with. A field with a shelter to keep it in too is also required.

Some people are absolute jokers!

Corker the other day.
Nice warmblood/sporthorse - 4 years old, unbroken.
Offered on a 6 month loan due to owners pregnancy. With the caveat that loaner must be very experienced at breaking, bringing in and competing young horses.

 

[Sheep]

I saw a post where the OP had 'ingeniously' stuck mint humbugs together, and built them round one of the hanging cylindrical likit holders.
It was deleted before I had a chance to comment, sadly!

You have to take your hat off to them, really.

They probably think they're vintage!! Same principle as these ridiculous folk trying to flog C&A handbags on eBay for hundreds of pounds because they are '80's' chic

Do they not know I still have a C&A sweatshirt and LOADS of stuff from BHS, although that's still relatively new in my opinion.

 

[rachk89]

Seen one recently that's more tragic than anything.

Girl trying to give away her old horse that has cancer, is lame and had other issues as well and got angry when people told her to put it down. Thankfully someone took the mare, kind of hope they put her down though to end her suffering.
