I am truly in a fantasy world looking at that mare because I'm in the USA haha. We don't have such a thing as your "cob" here (the term "cob" in the US comes from Welsh Cob, i.e., larger pony with a refined head--that's why cob sizes on US bridles are smaller than full/horse sizes). Anything in the US close to this mare would be 17+ hands and a plow horse for the Amish. Finding a chunky gal like that at 15.1 would make me weep with joy. I spend an embarrassing amount of time looking at "British cobs" online because they are absolutely dreamy.

Being soppy I’d like to clone my lovely boy (with possibly the addition of being a bit more forward thinking)

That’s lovely!
This girl could turn out to be a corker. 2 yrs old and already in foal supposedly. Someone might get a bargain but most importantly I hope she finds a super home: https://www.donedeal.ie/horses-for-sale/heavy-bay-cob/33110989

You are more honest than I am. I wouldn't have my fingers crossed, I'd have them skittering about the keyboard making a HHO profile so I could be on here saying "ooooh look at this one!"I bet anyone with a horse to sell has their fingers crossed that their horse will be selected for this list of HHOers pick of the best

This is much more enjoyable than my real search where I'm questioning every word in the adverts ? I'm also ignoring the prices which makes this loads better!!

Haha, it is way more fun when the prices (and details) are irrelevant.
Ohhhh, so close! But I guess we can't have them all.

Shhhhhhh this is the imaginery world where all ads are honest, the horses will never go lame and it will never ever start raining heavily when you're all tacked up and ready to go *stares dreamily off into the distance*That is a scam ad. I thought people were clued up on how to spot these by now

This is a very reasonable price and just up the road? Is the potential argument worth it? Surely he wont divorce me just for buying a horse lol ?

If that horse is actually in Scotland - hell, if that horse is actually owned by the advertiser, or even up for sale at all - I'll eat my hat.

Not familiar with the genre, but a photo that looks US, and a description written in US-ian language (but allegedly in Sheffield) would ring alarmbells.

I am not in the habit NB of searching for horses so I did not know either that it was a scam advert?

Not normally a grey person, but I love this fellow's head. Luckily, I don't have enough time nor money to go to the Brecon sales this week.

Of course you are asking for a friend.!! I just checked to look at donkeys and it's not very clear in the catalogue. Maybe 'your friend' could email and ask?

The price the email only, the American terminology and photo are a dead giveaway. If you still arent certain then googling the phone number brings up multiple dodgy ads of various breeds, all American terminology and all 3k

I did a google image search--it's one way to make sure the person you're talking to (or the horse you're looking at) is legit. In this case, the horse/rider/terrain looked suspiciously American, and the image search proved the horse is in the USA and was listed for $25,000. Someone somewhere found the picture online and is using it as part of a scam.
