I dont think price is too far off, he's been used for pentahlon and is getting on a bit. (also owned by a dealer I think)

 

[debsflo]

seems a bit sad to me...

 

[Boxers]

Very nice for the price, if you want an experienced horse and are not bothered by age. He might have 5-10 years working life left if well cared for. Handsome boy.

 

[justabob]

I would worry, why is he with that woman?

 

[Fools Motto]

The horse is nice enough, but the advert puts me off before I even start....

OLYMPICS!!

I see someone else started a thread about this earlier

That question sums the whole thing up... indeed!

 

[ester]

ah I did wonder why I recognised the name.

Do you mean the lady leading the horse? If so all horses for the pentathalon were lead into the arean and then unclipped - nothing to do with the horse's temperment, I think it was in the rules or something

 

[fatponee]

That's really sad :-( Hope he finds a lovely home.

 

[Oldenburg27]

He is 19 years old and what I can gather he has just been past from dearler to dearler very sad for the poor boy

Not the lady leading the horse... the dealer from Cambridgeshire/Peterborough who was featured on YouTube with a certain horse!

 

[L&M]

Sadly that is the life of some competition horses - they have a job to do and are often passed from pillar to post until they can no longer do their job.

Hopefully he will find a forever home and the pressure to perform taken away.

I'm pretty sure people are referring to the woman who is selling him... "that woman" is probably the nicest phrase I've heard used to describe her ever

I heard horses are being sold for less and less, seems it's right across the board

I agree very sad

 

[Buds_mum]

Aww I just want to give him a lovely retirement in a big green field, abit of hacking and some rc.

Sadly I have neither the time or the Money. Someone must be able to secure his future though....

 

[pansymouse]

I have a 19 year old ex competition horse and she's the best most fun horse I've ever had; I hope somebody is as lucky as me and gets paired up with this lovely chap.

 

[smanf]

Bless his heart

 

[smanf]

Just watched the Youtube video again. I hate that woman.

 

[Toast]

Hahaha Pentalon... that woman's spelling never ceases to make me laugh.

Poor Glen for ending up in her cruel hands I hope someone nice picks him up and gives him a forever home.

Interestingly the ad last year states he was 18.. so wouldn't that make IH's ad wrong and he is actually 19?

 

[DuckToller]

His date of birth on the Olympic site stated 1994, so yes he is 19 now.

 

[Bambi.]

He's been with them since atleast January! Hope he finds a loving home quickly!

What did she do?

What did she do?

A horse dealer was incredibly cruel to a horse called tic toc. She posted a video of her 'assistant' person in her dealing business on youtube, intending for the video to be private
it wasn't private and it was seen by everyone.

She has now done this to glen gold (how the hell the horse ended up with her i never know) and has just recently posted an ad for the horse under a different name age etc

 

[Oldenburg27]

The horse is now for sale at £950
