has anyone sold a horse at cambridge auction ?

[crazyponys]

my aunty took a horse last month and has still not recieved any money it will be 3 weeks friday.

john dyer will not answer either phone number.
just wondered what the usual time scale to recieve payment is,?

 

[Thistle]

No, most I have seen sold theer are a real last resort . not a happy place to be.

Has she tried emailing JD. I find him a little 'slippery'

 

[*hic*]

Try phoning up to buy a horsebox - that number usually gets a response!

 

[crazyponys]

yes slippery is how id describe him.
she has tried the horsebox number !!
ive rtied both numbers for her as well
thistle it was a last resort sold pony to pay rent

now no pony no rent money .

 

[Seahorse]

I sold a horse at Duckhurst Farm through a John Dyer auction and I think I had the cheque 2 weeks later.

 

[fornema]

I sold a horse at the lordsbridge sales as a last resort 4 years ago we had the money within a week or so. Plus did you put warranties etc on it as they need to sort that

Weren't you one of the ones being all principled and noble about never taking horses to an abattoir yet you offload them at sales??????

Apologies if I've got your username confused with a similar one.

It was you I'm thinking of but you actually weren't noble or principled, just bitchy. This is the thread.

lmao you are complete waste of my time.
i actually have no issue with horses going to an abattoir .
what i had an opinion on is jmo7 listing peoples horses as "dog meat"
so get your facts right and go cause a fight on someone elses post.

 

[palomino698]

I haven't sold a horse there but the cheque for selling tack/rugs has always come through 2-3 weeks later. The weather this week has held the post up...

 

[Stacie_and_Jed]

I brought Jed from Cambridge sales but that was out of the ring and we paid cash! Pointless and no help i know sorry.

I hope she gets her money sorted.

 

[crazyponys]

thankyou palomino698
maybe its on its way !
did you sell tack last month ? if so are you still waiting ?
cant personally see why its such a slow turnaround.
thankyou

 

[fornema]

Just keep gettin at him plus if worst comes to worst go to the next sales and talk to him

Love this. Your unwarranted pony has probably gone for meat, and yet you have the nerve to bitch about JM's posts criticising this kind of activity.
(aimed at OP)not Flames slave - you hit the nail on the head there.

a.... not my pony
b....i did not bitch about anything or anyone
i said jm should not slag off peoples horses
for the sake of it.
c....pony made a very good price
and my aunty delivered it to its new home.
so stop trying to cause trouble

 

[crazyponys]

oh your back then lol

 

[pinktiger]

i have not sold a pony at those sales but someone i knew sold through an auction house and they were told to wait a month for the cash!!

isnt it annoying when you get' threading crashers ' somepeople just cant let things go!!!

[natalia]

yes sold there before, cash came within a month, but as with all sales it can be slow. i would wait another week then go find him at either cambridge or duckhurst. FYI When we sold there I took 3 x 13hh ponies and they all made over a grand a piece, we took them there as they have good facilities to show them off and we could jump them all.

 

[siennamum]

I know what you mean - it is SO annoying when people post links to other threads & get personal isn't it!

 

[fornema]

siennamum i doubt very much they would go for meat as the least ive seen shetlands go for is 300 odd pounds and ponys and horses the lowest ive seen them go for is really round 600 and there is very few who go for that little most go further than that that is not meat money, plus a lot of these horses are personal horses apart from the travellers and dealers horses who not very many people touch. You obviously also dont get how heartwrenching it is to sell a horse there

 

[siennamum]

I don't get how heartwrenching it is to sell a horse/pony at a sale like Cambridge primarily because I wouldn't do it.
I would send a pony for slaughter because I would know it had met a humane end, but wouldn't send one to the sales because any numpty could buy it & if it were an unwarranted pony then there's a good chance it would go for meat.
