OK, You have a horse to sell. You put it's tack on get someone to sit on it and take some pictures. All fine unless they look like this...

Please don't tell me this is their garden, and that is the 2nd horse in the background... (see below...) and it is wearing blinkers Oh Lord!

Someone shoot me!

 

[Sneedy]

OMG!! Maybe they are failed driving horses and they don't have a regular tack???!!!

 

[HeatherAda]

blimey!

 

[grandmaweloveyou]

havent laughed so hard in ages!

 

[Dogbetty141]

My god they look like ILPH cases i think they look in a bad state to me poor horses!

 

[JulieL]

Wot a shame for these horses ((shakes head)). If those photos are them 'at their best' pose etc - my goodness wot will they look like on a 'normal' day!!

 

[Lill]

I actually feel a bit sorry for those horses

they look quite undermuscled, a bit light and miserable to me!

 

[sfward]

£1050!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't pay £50

 

[Blizzard]

poor things

 

[Morrigan_Lady]

Pikey springs to mind!!!

 

[horsegirl]

the second one looks about 25 and why does it only have three legs???

 

[Judie]

That is quite normal for a 'pikey' or as they prefer to be known 'trotters', see them all the time trotting as fast as possible around Gloucester town centre.

Makes my blood boil every time I see them

The telephone code is for Ireland and in some parts of ireland the attitude towards horses is very different to over here. You will see horses being kept on estates and being used like push bikes by young lads! Anyone who's been to a horse auction in ireland (not a fancy auction) will notice a masssive difference. Of course not all ireland is like that so please no accusations of racism or anything.

 

[minkymoo]

I love the way it says "good to catch in field" What field?!!! The garden? Well, that wouldn't be difficult!!

 

[hotellie]

laughed and laughed and laughed...thank you for poting this!!!haha

 

[minkymoo]

he he no worries, it did make me giggle a little guiltily though! Poor bloody things though

I didn't dare say that! I got slaughtered on another forum for using that word!!!

 

[muddy_grey]

I must admit I giggled too, though more at the guy riding them. I think a nice picture out in the field (or garden) might have been better

 

[GinaGem]

They are in Kent, that's a maidstone code. xxx

 

[Donkeymad]

Exactly what I was thinking too!!!
If I were to look on Dragon Driving it wouldn't surprise me to see that second horse shown as a 100% driver with a photo of it cantering down the road!

 

[Mrs_Wishkabibble]

God thats sooooo funny, poor horses, but the comments were so funny. Maybe one of you folk should buy them and let us all know how you get on, maybe a nice driving pair bless em!

 

[SirenaXVI]

Oh Good Lord! Not just blinkers but it looks like they are riding in driving bits too - I hope someone buys those two poor horses sooner rather than later

 

[Tinypony]

Ah blimey, don't say that! They are close to me and I can't afford to buy them. If I could then I have to say I would easily find another 20 in similar dire straits in Kent.
