Ebay surfing - what do you think of this horse (used for ad) ?

Have contacted seller about the condition of the horse - what do you think guys ?? Don't think the poor youngster is quite up to advertising - how thick can the seller be ??

Hmm I think it's a very difficult angle to really come to any conclusions about the horse.

Looks like a belly full of worms. Not sure if they'll listen though...

 

[shadowboy]

Looks like a wormy youngster. Product sounds, um, well interesting.....

 

[Shysmum]

I know, a belly full of worms - urgh. was really shocked when that came up as a sales "pitch".

Looks like a wormy youngster.

You could politely email.
Or maybe forward picture and details to WHW etc?

 

[Shysmum]

I have very politely emailed the seller and asked him about the horse. I have also contacted ebay . I dunno, ignorance must be bliss, eh ?

 

[blackandwhite]

Lol why did I never think of using a bean bag instead of a saddle at all? All my flat backed section a woes are over thanks to being inspired by that weird slightly manky looking saddle pad

*disclaimer... I am joking.*

I think the photo is an odd angle, but could it be in foal? Only just putting that question out there as a possibility but am prepared to be proved wrong. If pony had a belly that distended due to worms, I would expect it to look thinner over the rest of its body. Really not sure.

I agree - looks like a wormy baby - and I am pretty much a novice! Poor pony

WHOLE AD TYPED IN CAPITALS - says a lot really

Agree that it's not a photo I'd choose to use for an ad. Its not a recent photo - that sellers been using it for yonks.

I'd be surprised if you get any reply.

granulated cork?

srsly, ive heard of gel saddle pads/savers etc but ones described as 'bean bags' and made of cork bits dont sound exactly the most comfortable as far as pressure points go or is this type of material well known?

as for the pony 'model' well..hard to judge tbh.

 

[Shysmum]

manky looking saddle pad, lol. Those things are supposed to be the beez knees. Good god, what were they thinking ?

 

[**Vanner**]

And ninety pounds a piece!

 

[Shysmum]

haha, I'll keep you posted as to what seller/ebay say. Not holding my breath (I value my life).

 

[FfionWinnie]

It could be in foal. It doesn't look thin over its backside from what you can see in the pic. But really why would you use such a crap pic and a manky looking thing like that for 90quid. Noooo thanks

 

[Shysmum]

God only knows. Suber pads are actually sought after by treeless saddle users - they have a sort of "cache". maybe that's what struck me.

 

[Wagtail]

Looks like a heavily in foal mare to me. Expensive pad!

Thank you, I thought it was just me.

 

[Shysmum]

You are probably all right

 

[Sol]

Photo does look a bit odd... BUT I believe suber pads can be very good I've heard lots of good reviews on them mostly via HM's forum but they don't work for everyone, obviously. Not found the need to try one myself.

I have found the Suber pads brilliant in the past for various horses but only cost £65 from David Ahn who makes them!!
