...a nicely put together TB all-rounder for sale, how much am I allowed to say about it on here?
:D
 
It's not my horse, it's my sister-in-law's. It's a shame, as she has just advertised him on an online site (not HH as far as I know) but this is a horse I have met, handled and seen at a competition and I know that some members are looking for such a horse.

I guess pms would be ok? Don't want to tread on any toes here....

One could be quite creative - develop a coded message, or a little story (H&H Admin, I don't own a cob.....see my previous posts!)
Something like this......Tonight I went for a lovely ride on my fab 15.2 cob, he was sooo good in the heavy traffic we met as we doddled along the A38. As I was riding along with HGV's whizzzing past, I was thinking back to the winter, when he stood like a lamb to be clipped, and thank goodness I don't have the same problems as my friend Agatha when it comes to catching in and shoeing, her horse is a nightmare! Off to a show on Sat to do a 3'6 WH course, hope he wins again, like he did last week. My instructor says that he is the best postential HOYS WHP she has ever seen!
My goodness as I was admiring his sleek black and white markings, my other friend Cordelia, commented that now he was 7 years old he was really looking mature, and how Clover Hill's mature late.
But, the bad news is that I have just received my credit card bill, coupled with a very nasty letter from my bank manager, and I need to find £3K very quickly. Hubby says that Cobby has to go - how desparate is that.....PM me if you can help out.......Cobby and I can't possibly be parted, but times is hard, and I might have to make a tough decison. Of course Glos being the horsiest County, I am sure there are loads of near neighbours who might be able to suggest a solution??
Ha ha

What my real post would say - is I was looking at a packed stable tonight of TB's.....thinking that it will be hell on earth to try and keep them all during the winter (time, more than finances, as all of ours are kept at home on the farm) - the market is dire for any horse flesh - TB's especially - and as much as I would like to spend £100's advertising them, as they are all V nice horses (just not fast enough, or don't stay the distance), I suspect (and after reading many recent posts) that it will be a waste of money advertising them, whereby a personal touch via forums like this - where one can ramble on for several 100 words will help sell a much loved animal to a good home! But H&H relies on advertising income, so can appreciate their take as well.
