Oh my. I am now many many things. I did winde up the unpleasant person somewhat by laughing. I stayed calm and asked if she could repeat the ***** ***** **** *** as i could not quite tell what she was saying. She is comeing all the way to England to do me over. How pleasant. I did ask if the winner will get the same treatment - i would not want to collect it.
I asked how the lottery worked. Anyone can pay £3 and be entered - ANYONE!. She said she has spoken to Defra and rthe gameing association and was told it is a good way to dispose of the horse. Realy? I asked questions about the horse the answer Oh he's all right, what do you want to know for? I made out i was interested in entering but was worried i would not be able to handle a stallion. Screams started about me being a F******* useless stuffed animal. I asked what would happen if i won and could not handle it. another screaming fit and told to sell the f***** lots of bleeps about me. She then ranted on about people buying privately and not being able to handle the horse. Another rant about winning a horse in magazines. I pointed out that people have to go through a tough process to win one. Another screaming rant into my ear about needing Fin fields and whatever to win one in a magazine. Doesn't this one need one? They do not care, they are abusive to put it mildly, they do not care at all where or who the horse goes to. When it is won it is up to the winner to collect and she is haveing nothing to do with it. I would not dare collect it from what they said they were going to do to me! They would not say if the horse had injuries etc. What it is like to handle - nothing. They just want rid to anyone! My ear is burning my god what she was screaming just because i asked questions. Wouldn't it be funny to enter and win and turn up and announce i was the one being threatend, no not a good idea. They are comeing to kill me in the worst possible way oops
OFFERING ANIMALS AS PRIZES - SECTION 31
This section creates an offence for a person to offer or give another person an animal as a prize, the only exception being where the "prize" is given within a family context. Examples of offences include to offer or give goldfish as prizes at funfairs, raffle livestock at agriculture shows, organise newspaper or magazine competitions where the prize is a horse or pony, or organise any competition at a fete or club where an animal is the prize. If the raffle prize is an egg, as is sometimes the case at pigeon or birds shows, that would not be an offence, as an egg is an animal in its embryonic form, and thus not an "animal" under the definition of animal in the Act.
The exception to this offence is where the "prize" is given within a family context. This will allow a parent, guardian or other family member to give a dog, or other pet, to a child as a prize or reward for success in exams or at a family event. Such action would not constitute an offence.

[/ QUOTE ]
No i couldn't most of the time, i think that made her worse, that and the fact every time i was f**** **** and so on i asked if she could repeat it as i have trouble understanding accents
Naughty me.
She was very very scary to be honest. But i kept telling myself Scotland is a long way away and i refused to give her my address when she asked for it to come and do me over.
I wished i could put it on sound for you all to hear.
Humm, anyone could go out and buy a horse. I have bought horses at auction for £3.75 each, only last year. If the auctioneer knows you are not the meat man the hammer comes down before anyone else can bid.
If you go to one of the many racing yards round here you can often be given a horse.... for free! They will give them away to ANYONE who wants a broken down horse, no checks or anything.... better than the meat man.
Just failing to understand why everyone is finding the lottery concept any more objectionable than other every day methods.

an Auction is a TOTALLY different concept altogether....
nothing at all like selling Lottery "tickets" for a set amount.. to "WIN" a prize...
I saw this ad weeks ago when she was selling him. I started a thread as he was advertised as a sec d stallion. I have always been led to believe that a full up sec d could not be coloured-I have worked with d's.
When I phoned up I was told that I knew nowt and he was a sec d stallion. I also got verbal squits from her too!!!

Can i just add from my point of view. At least at auction you can look at the animal before you buy.
As for raceing yards giveing horses away/very cheap. This is one of my campains to stop it. I have known people go to raceing yards that do not have a clue to get an ex racehorse and i have had to mop up the consequences. Sometimes they would be better off going to slaughter. Ex racehorses can make fantastic rideing horses - in the right hands.
This is hopefully one occasion something can be done to prevent any mopping up. Prevention is better than cure.
