Some people are beyond belief...most horsey peple will thankfully avoid like the plague...sad thing is it would be the ideal opportunity for somebody to get rid of their failing neddy for some cash

!!

I wonder if they mean unsoundness as in vices like windsucking or minor ailments.

I suspect they are referring to the type of horse that can't compete anymore due to an injury/illness but would be perfectly capable of a nice Sunday hack.

But I am very naive (read simple) and perhaps they think they are going to make a quick buck!!

I often look at these ads, and think "what self respecting horse-person would phone them"... Then my friend informs me that she has parted with her £3500 horse to one of these people for a mere £300 - because it had to be sold within a week (this was last week). Madness.
