Does anyone else think this is a bit wierd...

[tasteofchristmaschaos]

Was just looking at Shires for sale (no, I can't afford another one

Just window shopping...) and this ad came up...
http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/10_yrs_1_mth_14_1_hh_brown_shire_kent/64314
1. It's not a shire. 2. Unless the person holding it is a midget, it isn't 14.1 3. Unless I am colourblind the horse is chestnut not 'brown' and 4. I think I have seen that picture in another add a few months ago for a dealers horse.
And then I see this...
http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/9_yrs_2_mths_14_1_hh_brown_kent/64302
with almost exactly the same wording.
Odd

Wonder if the website is just bumping up the number of ads as a way to look busier than they actually are at the mo?

 

[SillySausage]

I've definatly seen that first picture on a website too. Will have a look and see where I saw it...

 

[Koda]

Yeah, the wording is oddly similar. And if that's a Shire, I'm the queen of sheeba. Hmmmm, it would be cool to be the queen of sheeba

 

[littlespritz]

i dont think they no what a shire is! and i like the way in the second advert it ses 850 each, seller clearly has more than 1 identical horses! definatly wierd!

I would suggest they are both scams. The scammer copies a picture from another advert, or a stock photo from google or wherever. They then put on for silly prices to lure those looking for a bargain. They then turn out to be miles away from wherever you live in the hope that you won't bother to go and see it as it's such a bargain, but charge you a delivery fee. You send your delivery fee and that is the last you see of your money, let alone the horse!!

i saw this pic against a 16.3 sport horse....so find it very strange that it's grown or shrunk lol....
why do people do these things??

 

[stacey_lou]

I am sorry if I am being complety blind but that first add isnt a shire is it? Looks more like a Irish sport

 

[michelleice]

found him! http://www.horsetraderonline.co.uk/gohtmlist.php?adcat=4

"harry" edit to say its a dealers horse

 

[CeeBee]

And look at the other horse they are selling - A 'Stallon' who can be ridden by a novice rider!
Time Horsemart got their moderators to do their jobs properly I think!

[soph21]

I think you'll find his name is Stallon

 

[SunSmile]

Little bit off topic but is the horsemart site weird for anyone else? The format is all strange....

 

[CeeBee]

Yes, but it is a scam!

How about this lovely apaloosa, for example!

All the telephone no's start with 070 - do not ring, you will probably either be charged loads or they will clone your phone.

It is actually difficult on horsemart at the moment to find a horse that is actually for sale!

 

[trundle]

Do you even get 14.1hh Shires?

 

[jewel]

links don't work now

 

[CeeBee]

Ha! I reported all the ones I could find!
