This gives me the same feeling as a dog I groom who was a 'rescue' Cavalier KCS. Assumed it had been spayed by current owner, but no its pregnant. I'm just hoping its not knocked up by a poodle/bichon type just to get top byb marks

Seen an advert looking for a sharer for a rising 4yo. Good with kids, good in traffic.
"We've just started the backing process, so looking for someone with experience of this."

Tbf I don’t think that’s too unreasonable. I like backing and playing about with baby horses and I’ve done it a lot. It wouldn’t stop me calling about about that one.
Good in traffic could mean it’s been walked out / long reined a lot so you’ve got some groundwork to build on.
I’d rather ride away a four year old as a share than put up with a badly schooled 14 year old cob with a dead mouth which seems to be mostly what’s available round here.

I told them to. Just for sh**ts and giggles.I advertised an Equissage in local fb groups for £250 with a pic of my old pony wearing it.
Someone thought I was selling the pony for £250

Does that really mean £200?

Even at £2k that's going to be a gamble!

I was thinking it probably needed to be 20k….

FB post.
A breeder/dealer/stud has put a picture and telephone number up of a person who didn’t turn up to view a horse.
Annoying for sure and rude but no need to put their personal details on the internet.

I hate these posts. I’m fat. As such I have a big strong horse. I’m still working to get thinner, fitter and be better.Horses don’t care about your size?!
I loathe these posts because the whole “but they ride light” I can ride as light as a feather but I’m still 4 stone heavier then an 8 stone teenager. They could bobble round like a stone they still will not apply the same weight and force as me!!

Saw a go fund me for someone’s kids to go and compete abroad (kids with ££££££ horses 
)
Might start one up for my livery costs at this point, might get some backlash but might get £10 from someone and every penny counts

Someone selling a horse well into it's 20s with the sob story of needing it's forever retirement home because that's what it deserves after all it has done for them. I enjoy that the group admin closed comments but left up the one comment saying do right by your horse!

Not on Facebook but this has made me so sad. Poor boy has given his best years and is being cast aside for a younger model no doubt. He looks so lovely too.

Gosh this gives me absolute rage! I have no issue with selling something up to about 19 if they have a lot to give as a schoolmaster, but at that age for goodness sake just let him live out his life somewhere he feels safe and comfortable.Not on Facebook but this has made me so sad.

He's close to me.
Like heck would I pay 3k for a 22yo needing a quieter life, though.
Poor sod. He would be easily loaned out.

Ads like this are why I sort of don't want to keep searching in the veteran horses department. It's just so sad seeing how many ads there are like this!
I saw one the other week, just under £10k for a 20yo that wouldn't pass vet (ad said no flexions to be done).
