What do you all make of this then?

 

[Garnet]

Pretty cool to have those photos for selling a horse!

 

[CobsGalore]

Seems too cheap!

 

[Sukistokes2]

Pretty mean selling a horse at 18!!! esp when his done so well for you!!!

 

[teapot]

It was used for the Modern Pentathlon and there could be a gazillion reasons why it's for sale...

 

[freckles22uk]

I wish people selling horses would use spell check in their adverts, you would think they would at least get Olympics right...

 

[PingPongPony]

i dont understand, it the ''Siver medlest'' the name of the horse or is it supposed to say silver medalist? because if its the name of the horse then its wrong, because samantha murray rode glen gold in the olmpics

 

[CobsGalore]

Interestingly it was for sale last year for £4,500

Fairly much every word is spelt wrong. Weren't a lot of the horses for the Pentathlon (sorry Pentalon) owned by a riding school?

 

[Llanali]

Yep hbm1- the horses are doubtless lovely, but modern pentathlon is not a test of talent such as the other equestrian disciplines at the Olympics. The courses max at 1.20m- more than big enough for most I agree, but not the peak of equestrian performance.

 

[YasandCrystal]

I think the seller has been mentioned on here before

 

[Happytohack]

Definitely has

 

[seeley]

Was this the horse that jumped out of the arena when it finished it round with another rider?

 

[KVH]

Look who the seller is..

 

[LollyDolly]

Anyone care to fill me in here? I don't have a clue about what's going on

 

[milo'n'molly]

Search the forum for tic toc and he don't wanna be broke

 

[dafthoss]

Look who's selling it! Do a little googling and see what you can find...

Yep and my friend was interested in the little coloured they've got, back on the 14th Feb. Seller was nice but sold to said dealer a couple of days later- a day after dealer bought him, she added £1050 to the price tag, though sadly, I suppose that's what happens.

I'm also currently looking for an old horse that upsettingly went through her hands back in July. See my post re the buckskin gelding in the tracing horses section. :-/

The clip is still on U tube

 

[Goldenstar]

Let's hope this chap finds a super home where someone appreciates him.

Yes - away from these dealers, and hope they haven't ruined him yet.

 

[ellie11987]

I thought I recognized the name of the seller

 

[YasandCrystal]

I just love the fact they can't spell Not very professional for a business.

 

[LittleBlackMule]

I would love to see these "pentalons" he has competed in - aren't they those funny trousers favoured by pirates and the like?

 

[LittleGinger]

Oh. Reading this (as just one example of a few on this thread!), guess I won't phone up about their other advert then!

(The 'dun', which looks like a skewbald to me? )

lol


I agree, poor horse landing up in that yard. Hope he finds a loving forever home.

 

[Always Henesy]

Good grief!

I have just choked on my coffee.....the spelling (or distinct lack of) is horrific
Do people not have an education anymore

I mean the Olimpics Seriously? Surely most people can spell the Olympics?
Pentalon? Pantaloons? Pickles? Pansies? Pants.....




P.s - Nice Neddy
