SCAM!!! The wording of this email is VERY similar to that send to my horsey friend in South Manchester.

Ask where they are keeping thinking of keeping the horse and i will let you know if it is the same person.

My friend just rang me back, apparently guy said that he travels a lot and horse would be kept at a farm but didnt want to confirm where, when she asked him what he wanted the horse for he said he had only just started to ride and was very evasive and went on an on about his family and his job.....
