How long?

Between a horse being advertised for sale and it actually selling is reasonable?

My friend and I went to look at a horse on saturday morning, it was put on the website on friday afternoon and my friend was the first person to ring up.
She really liked her and put down a deposit, and arranged for a vetting to be done tomorrow (tuesday) morning.
We were thinking of picking the horse up on thursday (if she passes the vet) but the seller is now being a bit funny and saying she wants the horse gone asap and that she could have sold her 10 times over by now and she could have been gone yesterday. I know that she did have a lot of interest in her but even so, I don't think the horse being gone less than a week after she was advertised is unreasonable do you?
It looks like we will have to go and pick her up tomorrow now...

That is a very fast sale.At least if you pick her up after the vetting she will be your friends straight away. Good luck with the vetting.

Thanks, she is a very nice little horse.

She may be nice, but if she could have been sold yesterday, surely it would have been without a vetting? Is the owner concerned about the vetting do you think?

I'm just wondering if the owners have possibly been offered more money and are trying to push to get out of the sale????? Only guessing????? Don't be pushed into buying before the vetting, once that's out of the way if you can pick her up sooner then do so at least its settled then!!!

It took about a month between first seeing my mare and eventually getting her home!

She passed vetting and we picked her up this evening!!
