"Sick of all the horses".... reason to sell cheap???

[Lippyx]

Just found this ad:

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/5_yrs_16_1_hh_bay_irish_draught_x_leicestershire/36610

And thought it was a very strange reason to sell off your stock!???

Any comments?

There's weeks I feel like that but I'm not sure I'd put it in an ad. The rest of the ads are a bit strange too.

"I AM SICK OF THE HORSES THIS WEEK"

As in.. he won't be sick of them next week??

Its a bit odd...

 

[Lippyx]

Yes, I thought very strange..... although I am loving the grey 16hh mare... yum yum!!

Who could ever get 'sick' of their horses!??

 

[Vizslak]

[nikicb]

It could be just a marketing ploy, after all it's got all of us looking at it!

Umm.. me?

Sometimes I want to give them up entirely, but it does pass.

I saw this ad too and was wondering whether it was worth the risk to go and have a look - I liked the mare ID X - but the seller sounds like a nutter!

 

[Ranyhyn]

Oh yes-better stillkeep them and don't bother with them until they are starving and neglected.

Is there any better reason to sell a horse than finding you have had enough of them?

Jeez damned if you do and damned if you don't!

I think there are better ways of putting it though, if you are selling - maybe just saying they are overstocked.....

Would that have got 300 odd views on this forum?

Bet other forums have spotted it too,so the seller is getting a fair amount of free ad space

 

[Storminateacup]

maybe the credit crunch has hit her and she is sick of the cost of keeping the horses until they get a higher price.
Obviously a dealer whos stock is moving slower than usual IMO.

 

[MrsMozart]

Hm, after moving yards so often, I think hubby came close to writing a similar advert lol.

 

[Serephin]

it is a yard in Upton, Peterborough - has anyone had any dealings with this dealer?

I am considering going to look at the mare, as it is only down the road really.

 

[kibob]

I've felt like that many times

 

[charlie55]

Oh i like the 5 yr old bay mare!!

I agree, he has done this to get loads of views, its worked, clever man!!

£750!!
If I were closer, I'd take a look.

 

[Scribbles]

Anyone who goes to view it has to leave a £200 deposit

 

[miller]

Edited as apparently not the same yard as I thought

Why should they lie? Obvisouly a better selling technique but to be honest I'd rather a blunt, honest seller than a silver tongued, back handed one ANY DAY!

 

[Serephin]

its Wixstone Stud - after having done a bit of research, I shall not be going to have a look!

 

[miller]

It is the yard I thought it was then - also won't be going

 

[ellamanamou]

really dont bother bargepole is an understatement !!!!!!!
