I have been offered a swap what would you do?

[welshied]

I advertised my horse yesterday and in that time i have had: one person who wants to loan him (Possibility only up the road)
2 dealers asking me for pics of tack and horse etc (not a chance)
and some one else asking me if i would swap for a 2 year old cob that has qualified in showing already but they want £550 extra which i would want to get down but now i am confused to what to do? I already have another youngster the same age so don't know whether this will be easier or harder and if i get him i will be selling him on next year but i paid more for my horse that i am selling so this could be the way to get the money back.
What would you do? its all so confusing

if you only advertised yesterday, i would wait and see what other interst you have

Do you have the time to deal with two youngsters? Can you work one whilst the other is turned away? Will the cost of keeping the second ned and buying him be covered by next year's selling price?

If you put him on loan, it would give you some breathing space. It depends on whether you need some cash now (and of course if you'd be happy with the prospective loanee).

The money for the youngster wouldn't be too bad but the thing is i don't kno whether i would have the time. I just googled one of the dealers mobile numbers and it came up with someone warning people about him scamming people.

Well that narrows some of your options down then. Sorry can't offer any thoughts on further options.
