Called up about a mare today, woman said she had been sold. Thanked her and put phone down. Seconds later phone rang again- same woman- she actually had another horse for sale which she thought I might be interested in. Bought to bring on but baby had prevented her the time blah blah blah... he was practically sold apparently but people interested were mucking about so if I wanted to come and see him before tomorrow then I was welcome. She made a point of emphasising she was not a dealer (I didn't ask if she was), said she just had a big farm and didn't have time for them all.
Arranged to go over this evening after work. Then realised I hadn't asked how much she wanted for the horse... called back and a man answered. Told me the price and said she was bringing in another mare for me to try too. Hmmm- already faint alarm bells now ringing loudly.
E-mail horsey friend at work with womans name to see if she has heard of her- appears at my desk seconds later telling me this woman is a dealer as dodgy as they come and a complete liar.
Should have rung her really and told her I wasn't coming but hey ho, don't take kindly to being lied to so I hope she was inconvenienced by me not showing up.
Grrrr.
