wtf - are they actually expecting phonecalls?!!!


the video is laughable...... kids running upto the horse and it shying.... hmmmm cause thats a selling point.... :o


if i was selling my horse....id have someone on her that could ride brilliantly and show her off (like my instructor).........

wtf were they thinking lol!!!
 
What the hell??!! Interesting use of song too as when the lyrics said "nothing is broken" I was just questionning its soundness too lol (in the 2 seconds we actually see of it actually moving haha). Some people just don't have a clue do they??

Was I the only one gutted they didn't jump that mahoosive jump at 0.29??!! What was the point of that photo - are we meant to think the pony jumped that?? Or went through it?!

(Also - first of all did think you meant the horse 2 ads up as thought you'd linked to that and thought what was wrong with that??!! Bar rolling a pole and video getting blocked by a water bottle at a couple of times, the pony looked awesome!!)
 
I saw something very different. I saw a green, good natured horse giving pleasure to a couple of teenagers and apparently, judging by the smiles, much loved.
Its young, so for a competent rider, not too much of a problem to be schooled and educated.
The price is a little optimistic though.:D
 
Very strange video, doesn't look happy being ridden, possible saddle issues maybe?

Maybe they actually don't want to sell him hence the rubbish vid :p :D
 
As has been said on the forum numerous times, there are family photos & videos & there are selling photos & videos & family pictures are seldom suitable to be used when advertising a horse for sale. It appears that they grabbed as many snaps that they had taken & incorporated them into the video, unfortunately very few are suitable.

If they had spent a little time one day with a camera & a video camera & actually filmed the horse at its best & then edited that lot together they would probably have a better video & would get a better response from potential buyers. I wish them luck with selling him.
 
Think they may be dreaming with the asking price!! x Maybe he's better than the video justifies though! x Agree with people saying it doesnt look sound! x Video was a bit long winding and as someone else said....rather diappointed it didnt jump that fence!! x

Maybe two young girls not really knowing much about ponies, they do look happy with him but have to question the technique!! lol x
 
I think it's a saddle myself could be wrong but that saddle looks like a standard wintec and is no way going to be wide enough for that horse, and the saddle in all of the vid has slipped back and down. Most of the vid is taken on the same day but there are others and it's the same though out. That or they don't how to saddle up correctly
 
how odd! i saw this ad the other day somewhere else and didnt watch all the vid but within the first few mins of it I though, what on earth?! ot exactly inspiring.. struck me really as very novicey owners.
 
To gain that price they are either going to be bloody lucky or selling to a numpty family. He has an awkward way of going, especially in the first few seconds of that trot. He looks somewhat dead to the look (somewhere towards the start of the video)

He appears safe but unschooled and I am not convinced that he is 100% right/comfortable.

Shame as he looks like a sweetheart.
 
He does seem like a sweetheart bless him but from the few seconds of seeing him move I too thought he didn't look right but kept quiet to see what others thought.

The girls look as though they are having fun...not sure the pony is though :(

Such a shame, he is local to me but I won't be ringing up.
 
I'll eat my hat if the pony is not bilaterally lame in front with navicular spectrum lameness - check out the extreme toe first landing!
