Never believe an advert

[carthorse]

I have noticed that some people post on here a 'how much' or 'check my advert' or 'I have decided to sell'. Often these posts are thinly disguised advertising to get people to notice, which we all do .They often sound angels 'no vices' or 'perfect manners' etc. Then you look at previous posts and the horse has bucked, napped, chucked them off on the road.
Sometimes they were great when they had them ,then a month later they are terrible, but instead of having lessons and working at it they sell it , as an angel. I have no problem with this but I have seen some lame excuses for selling them. If it is the wrong horse for you, by all means sellit but don't try pulling the wool over our eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't hold back now carthorse.....tell it like it is!

Totally agree with you! I sometimes check back over previous posts too, it can be hugely entertaining!

Oh dear C, what has happened?

 

[carthorse]

Nothing at all just an observation and a warning to some. They just make me smile, I see people post 'it sounds just what I'm looking for, please pm me' and I think check their profile and posts .BUYER BEWARE

yup, noticed it a lot. certainly when i've put how much posts I get told off for being so negative about my boys as I include every little fault!!
Wasn't there one where the horse was lame and difficult and described as good dressage prospect? That what you mean! ;p

 

[JAK]

Yep, that's true TripleSandH, you're dreadful......Little Miss Negative!

'He stopped....I fell off.....he does this.....he does that....!' lol

The unfortunate thing is that people are either too honest and totally unmarketing savvey or at the other end of the scale they can be very unrealistic about what they have to sell.
