Nothing wrong with front legs, just looks like shes on the move. Doesnt look in the best of condition and looks old by the looks of her face

Unlikely.

I want her but no money. My horses ate it all.

Nice face, terrible advert and looks about 108 not 8. I want to bring her home and feed her nice things.

:( I don't know why, but I am still shocked that horses are selling for as little as £650.

My YO recently went to look at some well bred young (3yo) sportshorses for a friend, they were asking £500 for the one they liked but when they found out YO's experience/facilities they said she could take two for that amount... or 3 :eek: :(

Not a week goes by that she isn't offered a freebie, and generally there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. Last week it was a 7yo 14.2hh that I was very tempted by! Sadly she just doesn't have the time/money or grazing to take on too many. Such a sad state of affairs.

As someone who has a STAGBI registered mare (not she doesn't trot or pace) I really feel for this poor mare. Our's has developed a lovely personality and they are usually described as being like TBs with a bit more bone and a bit more sense. £650 with harness and no passport - dodgy. If she's registered with STAGBI why not get a duplicate. Poor legs - 35 mph and I bet it was on some dual carriageway somewhere.

Chocolate_cake- bet theyre true though!

I live not far from the location of the advert and constantly see these under nourised driving horses being trotted round the lanes. On a car journey in the summer, about 20 minutes into the drive, there was a horse similar to the ad one being ragged around the lanes. An hour and a half later on our return journey, the same horse was still being trotted around, it could hardly balance itself down a hill.
