I'm In Love

[Miss_Millie]

With this horse on Dragon Driving:

https://www.dragondriving.co.uk/horseforsale-196928.html

I'm a sucker for unusual colours and have never seen a silver dappled Welsh Cob. At that price, he must have some serious health issues. If I had a field and an endless supply of cash, I'd happily have him as a field ornament and pamper him for the rest of his life. I hope that he lands on his feet in a loving home and isn't just passed from pillar to post by dealers who bute him to the hilt.

At that price, I guessing he did more than threaten at some point!

Thats my thinking too, especially as its a trader selling him but not getting on him

So sad. I just hope he ends up in the right hands.

He looks like an uncomfortable horse to me. Poor thing.

Yes there's a lot of tension in his body and his back legs don't look right. I really hope someone lovely takes him on and rehabs him

 

[m.l.c coloured]

He looks lovely but the back leg with the white sock something looks off in the stifle area and he looks like he's kinder spragging it outwards.poor thing going to end up passed from one end of country to other

 

[Jenko109]

Threatened to go up.

Yeah alright then. It's either lame or its completely decked someone.

Probably both.

The top photo looks like a horse wracked with pain. His back has no muscle on it at all by the looks of it. Also seriously back at the knee on one front leg if not both. Poor boy ?

Broken, currently out of work

I suspect this is literally true and that the dealer is not actually referring to his ridden status as "broken"

.

 

[AWinter]

That dealer is horrific

 

[Miss_Millie]

That dealer is horrific

I'm not surprised. Aren't the majority of sellers on DD dodgy dealers?

 

[Ali27]

Pssm2 is very common in Welsh D! Poor boy?

 

[Archangel]

Dear oh dear, I wish I hadn't scrolled down. The 3yo TB looks sweet as does the palomino Sec D.

I know someone who bought a horse from Katie Thurston, it was extremely dangerous and arrived looking like a walking skeleton. This one looks like it is headed this way also. How awful that someone has passed this horse onto someone like her.

 

[Flowerofthefen]

Her old side kick still advertises for horses that you need taking off your hands quickly. Usually horses people can di nothing with or are lame, he then sells them on. Absolutely horrible man.

Oh I wondered if it was her or her friend! I know someone who bought a horse off them and within a few months, it was dangerous and the owners couldn’t ride the mare!

 

[Miss_Millie]

I haven't heard of this person, but they sound horrible. Imagine making a living by tricking nice people into parting with their hard earned money, whilst simultaneously exploiting horses which desperately need medical attention. It is beyond awful.

 

[Gloi]

Needs it's eyes checking too in case it is homozygous for silver.

There was a video posted here of them years ago working with a horse in the arena! It was just awful!

 

[shortstuff99]

Clicked on the link recognised the dealer and thought must be lethal for even that much to be mentioned.

Poor horse.

 

[FieldOrnaments]

It's not silver.

 

[Gloi]

I hadn't looked at the ad. I have now. Wonder why they said it was.

 

[spotty_pony]

As soon as I saw where the horse was from I knew it would be dodgy. Her son is a very good rider and can ride most quirky types so if he hasn’t been able to ride him and they are selling without making the profit themselves it’s definitely a horse with a problem sadly.

 

[ihatework]

That poor horse.
Put together like a dog and an awful example of a welsh.
Can’t see this ending well for him.

I’m not usually a sucker for a pretty colour but that palomino D mare is lovely. Wonder if we can persuade @LadyGascoyne to add her to her herd and we can live vicariously through her?!

How can people tell the horse in the OP is a KT one? No name on the add that I can see? She was advertising on FB happy hacker page the other day with a handful of projects, not open to vet, cheap types and an acknowledgment that they weren’t novice horses. I figured they must be lethal if she was selling that way.

It's her phone no.

Google the phone number.
