Do people read adverts small rant !

[twinklegem]

My daughter an adult experienced rider, has advertised for a horse to have on full loan if the right horse was found would consider buying after six months,we can offer a lovey 5* home with excellent facilities and training would want for nothing.

We have had so many people contact us i have a horse FOR SALE !! why would you when we have asked for loan and when you reply and say i am looking for loan they reply back saying well i want to sell not loan....then don't contact me !!! such a watse of time.
We have also viewed horses that we have been interested in and then owners turn round and say i have changed my mind..grrrr

Gosh what a nightmare

I agree that it is very annoying, when people don't read adverts carefully.
I can only suggest that if your daughter wants to have a horse, she buys one, there are plenty for sale atm.

God thought this was just me, obviously not I too have had people emailing me saying they have horses for sale when I am asking for full loan's same as you to a fantastic home that again would want for nothing (as all my animals are like this).

Or I get those that after reading my advert still contact me and finding out that the horse they are wishing to loan out has issues after I have explained I would like a simple horse to hack out etc....

One sounded so dodgy I haven't entertained them... horse didn't look too nice either

Keep going though, always something suitable out there, it's tough finding a horse to loan as it is finding one to buy I think.

I know!! We've got a TB for loan, I've been 100% honest about her failing one of which is for some reason she's terrified of riding on the beach so we've said she cannot be ridden on beaches...so what do we get? Hello I live near the beach and am looking for a horse to ride daily on the beach....

I have had a lot of experience with this and NO people do not read the ads. I get very annoyed replying to emails where they ask a million questions that I have already answered in the text. I am quite descriptive with ads too.


This is not as bad as the total idiots who call though. The ones who don't have a clue lol.


My aunt was selling a horse recently and advertized it as a "Registered Quarter horse" She had someone call her asking if they could come and see her "Regular Horse"
