Just seen this and it's hilarious!

Does your child say they want a pony?
Do you want to make sure they’re serious?
Do they have skin thicker than leather, and are you prepared to buy them some tiny steel capped boots?
If the answer is yes then I have the pony for you!!

Xxx is in desperate need of a new home. He has been with us since 2015, and I have tried most years to find him a new family. In all seriousness he needs someone very specific and until I find them, he won’t be going anywhere. Despite the bruises, we all ADORE this little guy.
He is the MOST beautiful, “full of character” pony you will ever meet. He could do anything, from driving, to clown tricks (lies down on command, and learns extremely fast). He also knows that if he stands on your toes, he can head butt you over and there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it. I can’t stress enough that he needs a job, I don’t know what job, but he has to be using his brain at least 2/3 times a week or he turns into a tyrant.
Im looking for an experienced, ballsy family who ENJOY quirks and won’t try to beat it out of him.
I have his full medical history available. He has probably had more veterinary investigations than the entire yard put together, and so far, they have found nothing physically wrong with him

At least they are honest. Made me laugh!
 
14.2 chestnut arab mare aged 7. Not suitable for schooling due to suspensory ligament damage.
Has had her ovaries removed so not suitable for breeding purposes either.
Easy to handle, is barefoot and cheap to keep.
Please message for further details £850

:( :( :(

This is where I wish I could have more horses and just have her as a companion (if she was good with other horses). Sadly not an option unless the lottery win comes in.
 
Advert on Facebook, owner wanting to put a just backed 3yo out on loan for "6 months to a year". Looking for a loaner who will "keep up his education".

I know things come up in life and people's circumstances change, but sounds an awful lot like "I want someone to bring my horse on for me, and when it's going well, I'll take it back".

I've also just seen an advert for a 19yo Dales who is reasonably priced and sounds quite sweet. I'm a bit tempted, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea right now!
 
Also seen on horsemart rather than fb, a horse for sale with 23 pictures- half of which are a now adult horse as a foal, or with a group of other horses where it's not easy to see which is the horse for sale. The only photo where you can really even halfway judge conformation is one where it's stood in that arab in a halter showing pose, but there's definitely something conformationally odd about it.

I saw her a while ago and was tempted to go and see her but now can't find the advert, shouldn't really be looking for a few months yet.
 
Really wish people would put decent side on photos of horses they are advertising, they probably wouldn't like my offer if I went to see her!

She’s surely not worth 850 pounds! Won’t hack solo if you read between the lines. Previous ligament damage issues. Not sure why ovaries were removed? And I think that’s the local dealer yard in Lamarsh.
 
I thought £1 to a genuine home who will keep her as a companion if she doesn't stay sound in work or PTS if they can't keep her (or find a loan home) down the line in the future. That would actually be a really good outcome for this little mare. She's one that could easily get trapped in the downwards spiral.

I pretty certain I know where she is as I recognise the stable block
 
I went to see a horse locally that when I got there told me had had ovaries taken out, had sweet itch and had separation anxiety. None of which was in ad, more fool for not asking before went but as local didn’t take the time. Would have been the £4K mark as budget was up to £5k. At least she told me when asked. How she thought she’d get that much for her. I made my excuses and left after 5 mins

I've seen an advert today advertising their horse for a year loan, hacking only, to bring back from injury. Must be good at re-habbing etc. Get someone to pay you for the pleasure of re-habbing your horse ?

This is just ridiculous on so many levels. Firstly, as you say: who on earth would want to pay to do this?? But also, if it was my horse and I was rehabbing, I would want to know about every single step and how do you keep control of that with a horse on loan? What is to stop the loaner saying ‘oh a cheeky jump won’t hurt’... after all, they’re giving it back anyway.

If it was me, and the horse was good to hack, I would find someone who just wanted to hack a few times a week and come to an arrangement this way.
 
Not horse related but...
Trying to sell one of our 13 (yes, I know) cars, put very clearly in the ad that it’s for sale as it doesn’t get used and we have too many cars.
First message: will you swap it for two Discoveries (worth about 6k less than the car). No.
Second message: will you swap for a Freelander. No.
Third message: will you swap for a Nissan people carrier, it doesn’t run but I’m sure it’s a minor problem. NO.
Fourth message: will you drive it to Essex (I and car are in Swansea) so I can try it? Wtf NO you mentalist.

I’ve removed the ad now, can’t be doing with morons who think they’re doing me a favour by trying to rip me off
 
Just seen this cracker:
Looking for an experienced horse breaker, to part loan my beautiful female cob, who will be 3years old this august, has never been ridden or driven, has been bride and head collar led and has been brought into manners, but not worked yet, hence needing experience.
 
I saw one yesterday. Wanted Horse to loan for 5* home. 3 of the pictures were of them sitting on a horse rearing (why do people think it makes them look good?) and one was an adult on a tiny tiny pony :(
