Why on earth I keep seeing adverts for horses for sale

over there>>>>>>

Where the ad price is £7.50 or £3, when I saw the 14.2 up for sale for three squid the other day I though it must have been a typo, but there is another one there now for £7.50, and for this one, how the hell has he hunted on dartmoor for two years if he's current location is the Ukraine??? :p. I'm not an appy fan per say but he looks quite nice but the ad doesn't instil confidence!

£7.50

Surely perfectly normal for a hunter. Did last season at 4 then is doing this season....so whilst not completely true because this season isn't finished I knew what they meant.
As for visiting other jumping countries again another good thing. He's hunted with other hunts which do a lot of jumping. Again another desirable attribute because he's versatile over different types of land.
He's also done some unaff comps as these will have been done out of hunting season I don't think he's been more 'busy' than any other produced to sell youngster TBH.

The first one is showing as £7,500 when I clicked on it, the other two adverts must be typos lol

Ahh, yes, that has since been changed. I do find it very odd though that poster isn't honest about location... It makes no sense. I do wish people would take time with their adverts, as this one is now so offputting because of its inaccuracies, which is a shame because he obviously has hunted, has a cracking jump on him, is in Devon area (this is where the person advertising him is from) and looks like a nice horse who would be perfect for someone, but the inaccuracies makes one falter.... Also, I don't think James Pyne Photography would be very impressed to see their copywrited photo being used, they don't like that sort of thing :/. All very strange.

For the one for sale for £3- I love his facial markings !

I'm forever clicking on these adverts (!) and they frequently say Ukraine. I don't think it's anything to do with the seller, there must be some weird default with H and H ads.

I don't think the sellers being dishonest, just scatty. Ukraine is just above UK in those drop down boxes and its easy to use the arrow buttons to scroll down not realising your changing your selection.

I agree its very odd people don't check their adds, unless its a cunning plan to get HHO talking about them of course. :)

Haha, maybe! Won't do them any good with me though, I need another horse like I need a hole in the head. Which coincidentally is what I call our last purchase.

Hmmm, perhaps HHO admin could get a message to them about this.... I've already had to tell them about a search engine issue they have. If it is down to HHO design faults to their advertising system, then I as a. Paying customer would not be happy :(

So should be 'counties" not "countries" ?
