Dear Lord ~ Whatever Next?

[sleepingdragon10]

Free pony anyone?

 

[JaneMBE]

lol! I'm up for it!

 

[moodymare1987]

Aww the poor pony, looks a right sweetie, surely people cant give up that easily x

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

That sounds very dodgy to me - almost like this lady is advertising without the other person knowing because shes fed up of having the pony in her field?

I am pregnant hence do not want him in my field and need him out the way

hmm

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Well JJ,tbh it looks like a real sweetie.....wonder how much of the ad is true and how much is down to the "numpty" syndrome?

 

[Ferdinase514]

Oh dear.

I reckon I could get him

like a challange.

Lets just hope he doesn't go to anyone as stupid as his current owner

 

[sleepingdragon10]

Sure doesn't ring true!

 

[JaneMBE]

Tracy got her Sam like that... if she could catch him, he was hers..... that was 8/9 years ago!
Poor lil pony. wonder how long he has had the headcollar on?

 

[alfirules]

aww, he looks really sweet! i would have him if i was closer!

 

[sleepingdragon10]

I shudder to think

....or when it's feet were last seen to?

 

[LauraBR]

poor ponio...

I think the East Sussex HHO contingent should go get him...

 

[kirstyfk]

They got pretty close to get the picture?

 

[Blizzard]

He was on horsemart a few month ago for 2k, and she couldnt catch him then!

Sorry but anyone can catch a horse, a few of them could have cornered, him, me thinks he is dangerous, something is wrong there!

 

[TinselRider]

if I had time I would go and get the poor little b*gger.........no matter how long it took

 

[Bex7]

cannot be sure but this looks just like one from the begining of the year!!

When I was looking for mine I saw a very similar one with the same offer. Even had the same colour head collar on and in the same neck of the woods!!

 

[moon_drop]

Thats what I was thinking, he looks healthy.

 

[alfirules]

my pony was like that when i got him tho, the people i brought him off were terrified of going anywhere near him in the field so he wasnt ridden for a year! they made the farrier go and catch him to do his feet. he is a big softy tho, never put a foot wrong for me.

maybe the owners just dont kno what their doing? surely a bucket of food will tempt a native?!

or maybe a mare (in the extremes of desperation)...

in all honesty tho a nice big bucket of feed usually works for any horse

 

[dwi]

that is terrible. you aren't necessarily going to get the right sort of people if you give it away free. Could they not arrange for a rehoming centre to come and collect it? I don't have transport or my own land or I'd go and get it. If I can catch Daisy I bet I could catch that

Surely someone on here could take it to sell on to save it from going to an idiot

 

[ljm]

He's so cute. Surely couldnt be that difficult. My friend got a pony on loan and it took ages to catch her, turns out her back was so so sore. After we got that put right she was fantastic!L

 

[JaneMBE]

hmmmm..... wonder if this 'seller' is a dealer..... I have done a bit of ferreting and found quite a few horses/ponies for sale from her! Not that it's anything to do with this pony or thread but I was curious!

 

[wizzi901]

very tempted, as looking for a pony to jump when my boy is retired....and he is like large version of our uncatchable rolo!! It can be done but you need another horse, shed loads of time and food and I prefer to do it on my own! Lots of people just stress them out more. Get it home and then keep it in until basic stuff is sorted! - then very small paddock!!

 

[Blizzard]

what rings alarm bells with me is she had it advertised for £2000 only a few months ago, and it was uncatchable then, so why would someone accept NOTHING for their horse?!
If she didnt have time for that one so threw it in the field, why has she bought another one?

and like someone else said, why not just contact a rescue or rehoming cantre.

 

[Bright_Spark]

My yard owner called me about this one earlier, she is thinking of getting him (has a horse box and about half dozen willing vic- i mean volunteers) and at the moment is trying to get hold of the woman who advertised him.

He probably just needs some tlc and lots of catching practice.

 

[wizzi901]

I would steer clear, digging round throws up awful lot of animals she has sold, this lady wont be giving it away unless any major probs! Everyone can catch a horse eventually, this is not a novice person....funnily enough another one was a "b**TCH to catch from same person!!

 

[JaneMBE]

agree totally. some of the ads I found, nice ponies but one comment was. a b*tch to catch! maybe the ponies just don't like her.......

 

[JaneMBE]

lol u edited and snapped me!

 

[wizzi901]

sorry xx

 

[Blizzard]

I totally agree, there is no such thing as a free horse anyway.

 

[Baggybreeches]

I got Touchy because when my uncle went to buy some horses in Ireland and he was the only one who could catch her. In fact she caught him, just walked right up to him, the bloke was amazed. To this day she is still fascinated by my uncle, at a show last month she tried to follow him into his already full trailer!
Some ponies do p**s you off but an ad like that is a bit extreme!
