that the people you sell a horse or pony to are genuine and really are the nice people you believe them to be. When I see ads for good home a priority how do people know what is a good home with good people

I think you get a feeling and you can do as much as you can to check them out.
I sold my horse in a million a few years back due to personal circumstances. He was a beautiful Haflinger with tons of potential and I had a ton of replies to his add. I checked out every single person who came to try them until I found the one.
He is now just a field ornament as a couple of years later he was injured. I know he has a home for life with the family x

When I bought my girl, her previous owner really wanted me to have her, rather than some others who had been to lok. We just clicked instantly and the first time I phoned to enquire we spent ages on the phone just gassing.
2 years on and we still keep in touch via email and text and she occasionally comes to meet us if we go out locally and had been to visit us at home.
I've never been in the position of having to sell a horse, but think being comfortable about where it is going must make it easier.

I've only sold 1 in 10 years but when sharers come to view you get a cery good idea just seeing them handle your horse whether they know what they are doing, and what their approach is to horses in general. Personally I don't want a complete bunny hugger but someone who is gentle and kind but with boundries is ideal.
If it is an older horse (15+) then someone with their own land makes a big difference - a very low cost or retirement is key.
Sorry if it offends but someone with some cash is also relevant - not that those keeping horses on a shoe string don't love them, but if they need some kind of vet treatment in the future some knowledge that it should be affordable is nice.
