Really ........some people.......!!

they want her to go somewhere where the new owners have not only time...but patients too???horsepital?or a rest home?:D poor mare...has no shoes on but is shod as she's out of work!:eek:really? thats clever!Please God give me the strength not to respond...or maim the advertiser!:cool:
 
more worrying what will happen to the poor old sod when it isnt sold!... people cant seem to give them away at the moment never mind sell them!
 
Is this even a viable business model? If she's getting them free "to a good home" and selling for £500... I suppose if she's got a fairly rapid turnover it might work
 
ahh, this is why I hate looking through the preloved ads! I'm still haunted by one I enquired about when horse searching. Feel very sorry for the 23 year old, wish I could add another to the collection. I don't understand how anyone can throw a horse away like that... :(

Arghhhhh these people really wind me up.... How can you just 'get rid' of a horse that's 23 year old needs to be retired to a lovley field with loads of lush grass taken care of till that last day instead of just thrown away like an old coat, you know what I mean!!! MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL!!!!!!!!!
 
Someone I knew tried to flog her 36yo, extremely arthritic, 16hh warmblood x dales gelding last year. Bless him, he was the first horse my now two year old went out with when she was just a few months old.
She was also selling her 12yo cob at the time, insisted they went together, and that someone pay £5000 for the pair. The cob was nothing particularly special, and she wondered why in the end she had to accept £1500 for both. It's a miracle that someone genuine actually took on the older one and that he didn't end up in the hands of some numpty!
..having said that, she tried to flog a heinz 57 10 month old filly for going on £1500 too. Was in an absolute state too. She's been with me over 20 months now :D but I didn't pay anywhere near the asking price!
 
Just out of interest, why are you all assuming the 23 year old needs to be retired? For all you know he could have years left in him and doesn't want to be stuck in a field for the rest of his 10+ years?!
