Fancy a 2012 Pentathlon horse?

[Grumpy Jewel]

Do you remember the horse Glen Gold? He was being bounced between dealers for various prices. Well, he's up for sale again. I can't paste a link as I'm on my phone, but he's on the Surrey Horse and Pony Facebook sight if anyone fancied a bargain. He was up at £1500 but everyone's saying its too low so she's upped the price to £2000.

ahhhhh if i had a stable poor bl***y horse........ why do this???????? he looked fantastic at the olympics and deserves a forever home!

The new owner is pregnant. I don't know them at all, just seen the ad and felt sorry for the chap as I thought he'd landed on his feet.

yes just read all the way through the post....... turn him away in a group, he deserves it!!!! was so pleased for him when i heard he had found a private home! dont like to see a horse keep moving around

Does anyone know if this poor boy has any known soundness or temperament/vice issues? (Aside from the obvious being 18yrs old and no spring chicken anymore.)

right lets get the truth out there about this horse he gets bounced around dealers as he is STOLEN!!!!! He has a locking stifle and will NOT pass a vet he was stolen way before the Olympics but unfortunately the owner he was STOLEN from couldn't trace him as he got bounced around too quickly and due to other pressures the owner gave up looking for him he is freezemarked D68 under his saddle area and his theft has been registered with farmkey and the police he also gets sold as a schoolmaster which he is far from he hates hacking out naps for England if he doenst feel like going if anyone knows his current whereabouts his rightful owner would be most grateful to be able to reclaim him and let him have the happy retirement he deserves!!!!

Have sent you a pm

A stolen horse was used in the Olympics and no one realised. Even though his theft was registered with police and farmkey.

Priceless !!!!

Just proves what most people always knew. Passports, data bases etc have no use whatsoever for the purposes we were told they were for.
As the youngsters chipped since that law came in grow up, will that make a difference ? I doubt it.
For these things to be effective, requires efficiency.

Did original owner contact authorities when she realised he was being used.
What have they had to say about it.

 

[Grumpy Jewel]

I missed the thread being resurrected, but i believe this horse is up for sale again. The poor thing keeps being bumped and bounced about. I dont know for certain, but theees not many people who post pics of their horse jumping with canary wharf in the background!!

 

[Capriole]

Mindboggling how this horse keeps getting sold on and on if it's been reported stolen. You think they'd catch up with wherever he is eventually wouldnt you?!

 

[justabob]

Surely his current whereabouts is with the person who is advertising him for sale...........no?

 

[Queenbee]

I believe there is a lot more to this than meets the eye... Perhaps people can stop speculating this IS being looked into currently but keeping this in the public eye is possibly counterproductive.

Well you'd think so wouldn't you :confused3:

 

[fatponee]

OP - I just logged onto here to post the same post as you. Just saw the horse advertised on 'West Sussex Riders' page on Facebook. Feel sorry for the poor boy

 

[Grumpy Jewel]

Haha fatponee, I've just looked and he's on about 5 of the groups in this area. If there's more to meets the eye and it's being looked into then alls well and good and hopefully it will be worked out, but in the meantime he's still for sale and looks like a nice horse.

What are they waiting for? All sounds very odd to me.

 

[Queenbee]

JAB have pm'd you

Definitely! I found an advert for him a while back when someone was looking for help with horse shopping (which I suck at!) and thought it was very odd that he was going for so little money :/

 

[Jackster14]

This makes no sense at all to me..surely must be more to it..

 

[Costypop]

Got to be a lot more to this story then people are letting on.
