I often have a peek at the sales lists just out of curiosity but today I was really sorry to see a dear old Dales mare is to go through the ring at the age of 28 years. Whatever did she do to deserve that? I hope someone can offer her a few years comfort and love...
 
some people have no shame. How could you put a horse of that age through a sale and ensure it will have a decent future. So unfair. Hope somebody takes pity on it and gives the horse a decent life for the rest of his/her days.

Agree - unfortunately its just £££ to some people and thats all that motivates them. There were a couple of older horses advertised on pre-loved locally to me yesterday, all with health issues/cant be ridden and being given away free so they become someone elses responsibility - makes me really angry!!!
 
Oh, I do wish you hadn't mentioned it - I got the sales catalogue - I've just posted on Achinghips thread about how hard it is to have two horses......I really wish I had my own land, I would snap her up in an instant, just to give her a few years (hopefully) of luxury and TLC.

They have listed her as "aged" to avoid declaring her actual vintage. When I googled her it shows her to be the dam of a current team GB vaulting horse! http://www.equestrianteamgbr.co.uk/horse.aspx?horse=W-H-Bentley

Aged doesn't exactly improve the situation. People are a holes. It really should be the case that the auction house have to accept some responsibility for checking the lots and being sensible as members of the public can't be reasonable themselves. Sigh
 
it just makes me so sad. I have a oldie in his 30's and over my dead body would he ever go to a sale at his age. Would not be able to sleep at night thinking about what would hapen to him. This poor horse has probably given people years of fun and this is how we humans repay by shipping off to the sales. Speechless.
 
Agree very sad and well spotted

Does anyone go on the dalesfans website? I bet someone on there would offer her a home. I used to be a member but haven't been on for years and can't login any more. I hope someone can find a space for her.

Well done Cuffey, I'm new on here and was trying to work out how to do that! Thanks.
 
It is on the dales fans message board ,someone has picked it up from here.
Hopefully someone can give her a home.
Why cant people take responsibility for their aging horses:mad:
 
Apparently she was put to a 17hh warmblood to produce the 17.2 WH Bentley. There was an article about him where her owner talked about her, in H&H last year. I cannot get to York this Friday otherwise would certainly try to help. Poor girl just doesn't deserve being put through all that stress at her age, why don't they just have the guts!
 
Im sure any of the dealers there would offer transport, its never a problem at our local sales, its all extra pennies to them. I really really hope she can be bought by someone nice, i posted about her on FB before i saw she was mentioned on here, poor old girl.

What on earth are these people thinking. Agree that the auctioneers need to rethink aswell.

I suspect the auctioneers have not looked on NED and the passport number has not been declared
Perhaps we should tell the auctioneers!

I still think auctions should all take the SPS conditions of sale across the board--nothing over 20yo and 18-20 to have vets certificate as fit to travel. York are familiar with Shetland PS rules as they hold breed sales.

It needs to be established this old pony is fit to travel a distance before someone out of the immediate area buys her.

Hi

I think you hit the nail on the head with this. I would suggest those who attend the sale express their disgust to the auctioneer. If enough people complain it may make the auctioneer take action in the future. However If the auctioneer refuses to take these horses will the idiots who own them be forced into doing the right thing (probably pts) or will they just abandon them - hard to say?

If you are going to this auction - complain, complain, complain!
 
A Lady is a regular seller. I wonder if it would be possible to track them down and do a deal before the sale to save her the ordeal of the ring?

Just a thought, but anyone thinking of bidding for her should declare their interest here so as HHO members don't bid against each other and raise her price, so rewarding A Lady for this disgrace with a nice fat payout.
