That is disgusting, but I guess it just goes to show the lengths that people will go to to prove they are selling for genuine reasons.

I wonder what happened for "emergancey spinal op"

Anyone who's been around horses for more than a few months is so suspicious of ads so I totally get the point as how many times have you seen on here "suspisiously cheap" posts!

Strange advert, it is in fact someone from here. It's SaxelbySportsHorses on here don't think they post much though.

You are all calling it 'weird' - but can I ask what YOU would all do in her situation bearing in mind that the horse world is known for some dishonest people??

Where is your compassion?? This poor girl has had to have an emergency operation (for whatever reason) and can not now ride for at least a year - how would you all feel if you were in her shoes?

Some one has pointed out that they are a member on here, I hope she does not read this post slating her add as I would imagine she is pretty cut up about it all anyway!!

Please think before you post

Also, she is selling broodmares but presumably she doesn't ride them anyway..... and the ad says 'because I can't ride for over a year' Apologies if it is totally true poor lady but it seems odd to me !

Why would you put a photo of your stitches on an ad if it were not true??

All her ads read very honest - I don't know perhaps I am nieve or like to beleive the best of people!!

Wasn't that the person who came on here asking for opinions on her dealing site?? and wasn't impressed when told it looked unprofessional!! What an odd advert....For a start someone should point out welsh section d's cannot be tobiano......so that is misleading, and i HATE to see dirty horses and ponies in for sale ad's especially ridden animals, FFS how long does it take to present the animal properly and tack it up???? Looks pikey to me and wouldn't make me want to ring up and find out more.
However, i wouldn't wish that operation on anyone and hop the person in question recovers well - but I can't help thinking it puts me off buying anything from them!!!
