The reverse also happens. When I was selling Colin (decided to keep him in the end - too many numpty buyers) the ad read as follows:

2yo Registered PRE (Andalusian) Grey Gelding. 15hh now should make 15.3hh. Well handled and polite. Good with Farrier, vet etc. Only for sale as have too many horses and husband is a grouch.

Caller 1: How much training has he had as I want him for my 8yo - he's 2 I don't think so

Caller 2: Is it a racehorse - no go away

Texter 1: Looking for horsey girls to model tight jodphur boots please call 00000 00000000 - I kid you not

Caller 3: How much training has he had as I want him for my husband to learn to ride on - he's 2 and a hotblood - not for a novice ( this one argued the toss as she could ride and had owned her own horse, a coloured cob, for six months, I had to insist that he was not right for her OH before she would go away)

Texter 2: My name is Mark and I am sexy and horsey, if your husband is a grouch, please call me - WTF!!!!!!!

Caller 4 - I am looking for a youngster and would like an andalusian. This one actually got past my radar, but turned up with her own Parelli headcollar, told me he was a left brain introvert and very very intelligent (not true, bless him he is not the sharpest) she wanted to do Parelli competitions (did not realise there was such a thing) with him. NOOOOOOOOOOO I like him too much to let the poor little sod end up doing Parelli

Still have Colin, probably always will, have not met a person yet that I would let him go to (except for M_G - she is his alternative mummy

ha ha ha - what do you think Mark's definition of sexy was

maybe you should pass us his number and he will be inundated with HHO women texting him - that would sort him out!

. The closest experience I've had of that was selling my old Corsa and even that got pretty weird at times. (In the end I switched my phone off and left the answer machine message saying something like, "No, it doesn't have power steering, air con or sat nav, and no, it doesn't have racing stripes, bucket seats or spoilers, and no, I will not sell it for half of what I advertised it for, and no, you cannot test-drive it alone, and no...")

Ah, I am dreaming about writing this horse-hunting book again. The DOs and DON'Ts for both buyer and seller.
