Very odd, and i hope to god not true seeing as they hang up on people when they try to call them.

Oh dear. I didn't like that sentence 'some already have been'. Shot, that is.

The name of the advertiser rings a bell...

adverts seem to get stranger and stranger!

have you tried to phone? how do you know they hang up?

something very odd going on there, i am not really sure what to think of it, but it makes me think of a load of neglected horses. They don't seem to be trying very hard to rehome them though!

have just googled the number and they have made quite a few adverts before so they must be a dealer.

I called as a friend had already tried and they hung up on her.
With me they answered, i said id called re the advert, and then the line went dead.

OMG what a strange advert i hope it is not for real, dont understand why not to ring only email.
Has anyone tried to email, and got any type of reply

Maybe its a malicious advert, someone has done it without the consent of the owner?
Perhaps the horses are alittle neglected and thats why someone has done it....? The way they are putting the phone down when people call about the advert makes me think my theory might be correct.

Seems a very odd add...... If it is a dealer, could it be someone who is narked with them and doing the 'pizza delivery' hoax?

If they keep hanging up it could be that they are a bit miffed with people who think the add is real....

^^ That was my first thought after reading they've hung up on you and your friend when mentioning the advert.

Exactly my thought too, someone's posted that ad with someone else's number I'm sure of it. If the horses are in a poor state why o why didn't the person posting it contact a welfare organisation rather than upset the public by putting that and not be able to find out where these horses are. Or most likely the horses are fine and it's a vendetta against the people who's numbers been posted, they are bound to get hundreds of calls with a ad like that! The person listing the ad would have to use their own web address hence they say to phone not email????
