I know we all complain about how the economical climate is effecting us but it is more so effecting our animals...

It is for driving horses so the more 'coby' type horses are advertised here, which happen to be the gypsies area of breeding so yes I would say this is their chosen site for selling horses.

I would guess bog burn is a slang term for mud fever but I'm not definate.

Bog burn is a term used to describe a heavily feathered horse that has (usually) been out on wet muddy land and it 'burns' off the bottom few inches of feather, rather spoiling the look of a traditional cob. Is nothing to do with sore skin, mud fever etc. Is totally painless but just breaks of the feather hair. Happens to almost all of them over here in the winter that are kept out.

Now i remember why i stopped reaing the adds on that site, too depressing.
