Free to good... oh ok, any home at all!

One 12yo ex racehorse- very polite, will go first or last. Good sense of humour, recently placed in local show bending race (behind lame hunter and in front of fat hairy cob). Will not stand still for mounting, goes quite fast. Nice colour.

One 16yo lame hunter- shiny coat when not covered in mud, pretty colour. Very wide, only suitable for people with long legs or access to velcro trousers. Good line in making faces and running away from pigeons.

One 5yo ex racehorse- very athletic and enjoys "airs above the ground" pretty face, shame about the enormous belly. Doesn't go very fast, suitable for person who enjoys looking at other horses from behind or sitting in the mud.

One 6yo tb mare- just completed first dressage test (walk and trot as currently unable to canter around corners) and clear round jumping. Got a very high score in jumping so no idea why we didn't win. Unable to lift all 4 legs over poles so very cleverly knocks poles out of the way first. Quiet to ride (half dead) until you get off and pat her (then leaps sideways in terror.

One 7yo ex racehorse- won lots of races, pretty colour and markings. Likes eating. You are guaranteed to be more intelligent than this horse, he could not find his arse with all 4 hooves. Goes fast.

Any takers? :(
 
LMAO
erm, well no not really, even though the weather hasn't changed yet here, I think my hano pony, 17 yrs covers most of the above behaviour in one go. Why not come down and live here with all of them instead?
 
Well, I'll raise you to this:

16hh Tb divvy twonk, recently had steroid injections into hocks for arthritis and going sound. Self injures approx once per week, won't stand still at mounting block, has cost £2400 AND ONGOING IN VET BILLS OVER LAST 6 MONTHS. Requires padded walls due to kicking behaviour and still self injures, will go through leccy fencing with ease, has seasons from hell during which time she is unrideable, separation anxiety but will also kick other hoprses when placed with them, expensive to feed and rug, loses weight at the drop of a hat, hard to keep at walk and will shy at her own pooh in the menage.
 
Let me think..... No!!!:eek:

Not unless you want to trade for:

Prima Donna - very beautiful, very loving, very whappy DWB;

Old Retired G!t - very good looking, nice mover/sweet itch prone/laminitis prone/ignorant/loving rodeo pony;

Rather Portly Young Cob - field-rest-for-who-knows-how-long,-but-very-nice-person;

Opinionated Lady - very striking looking, very nice mover, wonderful jump - oh, just remembered, not ours so I can't give that one away. Plus, I think we should give her a chance lol
 
Why not consolidate all your problem horses into one big problem horse? Bolshy 16.3h stallion, knows own mind, built like a tank, gives derisory snort and throws a dirty look in response to the name Aldo... lol.
 
mmm let me think;

5 year old Dumblood masquerading as a Spotty Arsed Circus horse.

Butterfly mind "ohhh look at the birdies" "oh leg yield ok" "ooooooo what is my paddock pal doing" "back up ok" "Wow tractor"

Can be goldfish minded "arrrgh scary fence" "oh not dead la la la" "Arrrgh Scary fence"

Has mortal fear of small ponies,

Think he might be gay as far too fond of his paddock pal for his own good and totally confused by the mares,

Propensity when schooling to react with "i canna do it I canna It is not possible waaaaaaa" promptly followed by 2 minutes later "ohhh I can do this look at me" followed by showing off and exaggerated paces.

Mortal fear of puddles in the school but will drink, roll and wallow in them in his paddock, convinced he was a Hippo in a previous existence.

Has the ability to look stunningly beautiful one minute and like a cut and shunt the next.

Capable of turning 1 kilo of food into 10 kilo's of pooh

Seems to have a bladder the size of a swimming pool judging by the mahoosive wet spots

Will do an enormous pooh then use it as a pillow all night

Free to anyone with the patience;-))
 
Part ex you the 16 yo for;

16 yo stroppy arse mare

Goes very fast and forgets how to brake

Laminitic. In fact, has just recovered!

Has learnt to very cleverly buck at cars.

Wards children off (headbutts them)

Dismounts you herself by going to her knees and rolling in the school - very intelligent I think you'll agree.

Typical lady - loves her own space and has very expensive special shoes...

Eats like there's no tomorrow

Finds the muddiest wettest part of the field and rolls

Makes sure you are certainly aware of the monster in the plastic bag/bush/lawnmower

Definitely attracts peoples attention at shows - one time, the whole showground watched us jumping and started cheering and clapping when we actually jumped a fence - then we got asked to leave the ring...:(:confused: never figured out why?!?


Anybody interested?? :o
K x
 
Umm think I'll pass on those :D :D (love the bending race bit :D :D )

But I think I can trump you on the useless stakes...

1 x middle aged hermaphrodite (so dont think about breeding as a 2nd career), currently with cushings and laminitis in all 4 feet. Not rideable even if she (or is it he/it?) recovers because has ringbone too. On the positive side is easy to feed as only eats wooden fences

1 x insurance right off Loss Of Use gelding. Often uncatchable unless you DONT want him, in which case he's all over you like a rash. Utterly useless should you indeed manage to catch him. Very handsome though and likes to walk about on hind legs so the neighbours enjoy watching the show. May be of use to circus, but precious little else
 
I raise you a bad tempered three year old who gets jealous if anyone/anything comes withing 10 feet of me. He has bad feet, and is currently sporting a mohawk mane and bog brush tail after scratching the rest off. He kicks the field shelter for no apparent reason other than it makes a noise when he is cross. OH is fed up of repairing it.

Also included, two mini shetland stallions who lull you into a false sense of security with their cuteness and then proceed to annoy and/or entertain the village/neighbours/OH when they escape on a regular basis.
 
Hi i'm new here and that post is brilliant!
I could swap u;
x1 part TB mare; self-harmer, laminitis prone, unable to graft hard as not willing and legs break easily, pretty copper colour but distracted by huge belly, has windswept front legs and a konky neck, brilliant at circles to the right!

x1 welsh cob colt, beautiful colour but is easily distracted by his reflection - will stand for hours tossing his mane and blowing kisses into a mirror. now broken in and going well - ish

x1 welsh cob foal; sweet, affectionate, good looking but with an unfortunate interest in own tackle!

x1 old git; striking (literally) hanoverian now retired, cracking pigeon toes, weak tendons and saggy back, unable to be ridden due to mental instability

x1 knacker; 12yo welsh cob gelding, unable to ride as written off by four different vets, still able to gallop around field refusing to be caught! has lovely fat belly and dimples in bottom

:D
 
im willing to part ex, I have the following;

a 15.2 haflinger x, lovely big sturdy fella, will not accept any of this living out business and will quite happily lead a rebellion against you and let everyone out the field so they can go back in their stables, has a crush on my vet and likes to see him on a regular basis, does not do schooling work far to beneath him, will hack but prefers his own ways to youres, he also thinks he is in training for the army and is currently camoflaguring (sp?) himself as we speak to blend in with the surroundings does quite a good job considering his mane is supposed to be white

A 14.2 up his own backside haflinger, is far to good to be rode is only their to be looked at and pampered, can imitate a catapult pretty good sending rider a few feet at least, will only come in the stable when he feels like it and will show his dislike if you try to other wise by stopping every two steps.

A 14.2 welsh cob, totally lost the plot, likes to do the opposite to what you say, can jump like a stag literally, imagines jumps on hacks as i said impressive jump, doesnt hack in company unless you would like to race, likes to gallop around arena at least 10 times at break neck speed before any common sense is restored, a bit thick really, will stand looking at you witrh the glazed over look, again is in partnership with the 15.2 and does not see the point to living out, will headbutt you regulary, push you over then scare it self, be frightend of its hay net one day then love it the next, but would make a fantastic cross country horse if he only has to jump the jumps he sees

any takers
 
Anyone interested in a thoroughbred in a cobs body????? Fantastic for those that want the cob look but like the lacking brain of the thoroughbred!! Characteristics mixed between the two breeds: lacking any brakes in excitable situations, will jump the moon, very brave, (could be described as lacking self preservation also!) great feet!!!

ANY TAKERS??
 
Part ex...
1 white pony, at least he was white once back in summer! seeks adrenalin junkie, loves to lay flat out in field at random times to make your heart stop. excellent brakes usually applied before a jump but able to stop when ever he feels like it. Also very quick acceleration which unless your carefull can leave you behind.
1 youngster Very handsome & knows it, best at striking a "look at me aren't I gorgeous" pose.
dedicated rug wrecker, also heat seeking feed missile. (has special feed radar which detects feed at 1000 yards then locks onto you & doesnt stop until he has scared the s**t out of you or knocked you over)
both love to be covered in mud at all times. good homes only where they can continue to be supplied with fresh rugs(preferably new ones as they are the most fun to destroy the quickest)
 
A brief note to Benji1 and *spider*......




The chances of anyone on here parting with their respective 'special' (in so many senses of the word! ) horses is, I would guess, nil to 1000-1 against.




We're all mad you see.....

Will part ex following in return for sound & sane horse?! :rolleyes:

Elderly recently retired, pigeon toed mare, whose confirmation leaves much to be desired, very rarely sound. And extremely autistic about her routine. (yes she will kick her stable door of the hinges if you even consider making a change!)
But has very pretty face! ;)

11yr old cobX gelding, very attractive, has much presence, but currently out of action due to unknown sudden onset of respiratory disorder, which means he can't be turned out for more than an hr and half, and can't be ridden. Enjoys eating any bedding you put down for him, and has the brain of a 3 year old under saddle.

Both full of character!

Part ex for one 4 year old Andalusian - he is very pretty, so pretty that you can't tell him off for anything. He is a good doer and isn't fussy about food, so unfussy that he will put just about anything in his mouth and start chewing. Good with farm machinery and traffic, but is a little unsure of the hedge in his field, which has monsters living in it. Quick learner - last week he was taught to pick up his feet on cue, and now he's being so helpful that he won't stop doing it!

Click to expand...

LOL I have one like this...spent weeks teaching him to put his head down so we did not have to wrangle him into a headcollar or bridle or utilize the step ladders and now he very helpfully does it if someone so much as hones into view carrying either of the said articles. Has also taken it to extremes and now practically rests his chin on the ground in a bid to be even more helpful.
 
One 6 yo ex racer mare, you'll never be bored as each new day brings with it a fresh challenge.... Some days sweet, some days stroppy, some days FORWARD is thy name, some days it's all a bit "meh" some days loads like a dream, some days you better make sure you aren't doing anything else for the next week, madam princessa will not be rushed :D

Imagine the fun in trying to work out wtf is the cause of the bug up her butt today?!! Could it be hormones? Could it be a dietary issue? Or... could it be musculo/skeletal? Rider error? Or could the super dooper expensive remedial shoes hold the answer? Perhaps a certain planetary alignment? Step up people... You know you're the one to save her!


and one 12yo Welsh section B gelding...awww so cute...so very cute...just like a furry ikkle velociraptor
