Some one tell me this is a joke?? advert

[QUICKFIRE]

Only I am not seeing the funny side. http://www.adhorse.co.uk/horseforsale_35681.html

 

[Bowen4Horses]

i don't think it's a joke...

ets: actually, i just read the bit that says he'd suit competition home... therefore it HAS to be a joke... surely?

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Good god surely that's got to be a joke??? Not funny at all though...

 

[micramadam]

They have got to be kidding surely?!! Lame, ringbone and still being ridden for 1 hour a day? For christ sake someone buy this poor animal to get him away from these B*****ds.

Very sick joke?

 

[HollyWoozle]

If you google the seller's name you get stuff about her being a 'horse scammer' etc etc

 

[nativetyponies]

oh dear...

and the seller is well known dealer....of not the best reputation

 

[rhino]

Hmm

Googling the phone number brings up some 'interesting' results!

 

[TinselRider]

Dispicable!

 

[Bowen4Horses]

and actually, i think it's something malicious... cos the person's full address is on there... and, let's face it, no matter HOW stupid you are, you know how to spell the name of the town you live in... LOWERSTOFT is not a place...

perhaps someone is trying to get their own back on a dealer by getting them an even worse name.

Has to be a joke

No way that horse sits in the 17hh category either?!

 

[piggyinablanket]

Oh God. Looks like a real ad to me. I come from Lowestoft originally and that is a local address.

ETA yes, could be malicious. Hope there ISNT a real horse in that state behind the ad though

 

[christine48]

looks like they need reporting to the RSPCA going on the state the pony is in!

 

[bonny]

I would guess that someone's bought a horse and is less than delighted with their purchase ...

 

[Cuffey]

Those of you who remember ''Stolen Horse Patrick'' will probably guess someone is ''having a go''
No idea what is behind it but it is in poor taste

 

[piggyinablanket]

That case has been going on ages I recognised a related horse ad on the google search. I think there was a big row between this person and another over a horse.

 

[nativetyponies]

you could be right cuffey...i'd totally forgotten all about that little soap opera

 

[Ranyhyn]

Lovely looking horse mind. He could do a prettiest face comp surely?

 

[RuthnMeg]

Oh god, its a very sick joke - it has to be?
That horse can't be Patrick can it? (just an idea?? - very random idea). Poor thing.
What happens when people call that number, do you get Sarah?

 

[QUICKFIRE]

Just to let everyone know its nothing to do with me, I often nip onto adhorse just for a look and saw this.
I think you could be right in saying its a malicious prank.
But what if there is a horse like this?????

 

[horsecrazy25]

Speechless!

 

[Snowysadude]

So sick hope they are just getting their own back... would normally condem anyone doing that as they will get in serious trouble with the law...... but would love to use that one I have to admit for my horse I bought a yr ago when the owner (dealer) knew he had kissing spine and a collapsed hock!! But of course never would, no matter how tempting it is.

 

[marinitagsd]

OMG!!! I can feel a phone call coming on!!

 

[charliesarmy]

Would anyone dare ring??

 

[Sarah Sum1]

OMG!!

 

[martlin]

For christ sake someone buy this poor animal to get him away from these B*****ds.

And... that's how they make money
If you stop feeding horses you have for sale, take abysmal pictures and misspell every word in your ad, there ALWAYS will be a gullible b****r keen to part with their money

 

[pastie2]

I rang the number, it doesnt seem to exist.

 

[**Vanner**]

I too am speechless!

 

[Tiffany]

Sounds like a scam to me?

 

[MissMincePie&Brandy]

I agree, I'm pretty sure this must be something made up and malicious. Not funny at all.

 

[pastie2]

Poor bloody horse whoever he is!!
