is anyone looking for a wee pony that can hang onto him?
dread to think what happens to the free ones getting passed around from pillar to post.
(Sadly neither local nor can I accommodate)

cant help i am afraid, surely he is worth something if he has been a therapy pony and her kids have sat on him...., and what an odd first photo!!!!

I suspect if you look into it further there isn’t really a pony for sale !

really what makes you think that? Guessing you’ve seen something similar before?!

That pony was on the adjacent county Facebook pages a while back, if it was what the advert says it was, then it's worth a few quid, even the local RDA groups were interested then.
Something doesn't add up here.

 

[mini_b]

well... not too much to say to that then! Hopefully the pony’s story has a happy ending

The location is a bit weird - Shiggflklkld (or something), Berkshire - where's that?

Er - free to good home when "can't afford" to keep? Does not even add up financially!!

What the hell is that first picture 🤨

Guessing location is Shinfield written on a phone lol. It's not middle of nowhere really, little ways outside of Reading....Not really The sort of country you expect to see shaggy little coloured ponies free to a good home though. Wonder what's happened, if you couldn't afford to keep it you'd sell for at least a little bit of money surely?

That area has lots of issues with illegal traveller camps.


Not referring to travellers, but my guess is that he would be delivered unseen 'for a fee' and once the fee was paid you wouldn't see hide nor hair of him.

Surely no one would be so brazen as to scam like that with their face all over the advert? (Assuming they haven't stolen the photos/pony actually exists....)

 

[ycbm]

I wouldn't be sure ......

The photos would put me off - who in their right/intelligent mind would do that. The adult looks ridiculous.

It’s dreadful isn’t it? Huge turn off. Hope pony finds a happy and long term home

 

[gingergreg]

He doesn’t look 13.3 to me BUT I appreciate photos can be very deceiving!

 

[Kaylum]

Another trick they do is you go to view the pony but it's not there but there are various other poor souls which are for sale and you just cant leave them there.

 

[Chinchilla]

*resists urge to send an enquiry motivated by morbid curiosity* I really want to find out what's going on now. 😖

 

[JanetGeorge]

And the pony is allegedly 5 and has been used as a therapy pony for 3 years!!

 

[Leo Walker]

If I had a preloved account I'd have messaged by now. We have a spare stable at the yard and he looks like he would be a nice driving pony. I keep toying with the idea of getting another and then deciding not to look for one, and to see what finds me. Hes not 13.3h though!

Sent you pm x

 

[frostie652]

Advert now says he's 12.2hh..

 

[Leo Walker]

12.2hh seems more like it. I rang and no answer and they never got back to me. I suspect their is more to the story if hes not gone by now though. Anything free has people all over it like a rash usually!
