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

What a poor mare, she looks lovely, just as well I haven't got my own land at the moment otherwise it would be full of unwanted horses...

She looks much younger than 8 to me but that may be because she is so poor.

Look at that beautiful endearing face. I hope she finds her way to a nice home.

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.

bless her, i hope she finds a loving home.
it looks like she's got hair loss on her face and shoulders though as well as being underweight.

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
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.

I am in complete agreement with your assumptions HMS, lets face it the picture tells the story.

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.
