reading that it seems good but i looked at the price

£4

do you think their is something wrong??

 

[sallypops]

this came up in a post about horse prices the other day, people assume when a horse is a reasonable price there is something wrong lol!

 

[Louby]

Age???

 

[flyingfeet]

That's 4k to 5k

So probably will be £4,500 .00

You didn't seriously think it was £4.00???

 

[Bossanova]

What a pointless post

 

[sallypops]

oh i'm confused now, i thought the post said £4-5,000

i think she means £4k

 

[Nickijem]

It says it is 15 yrs old so don't think it is particularly cheap at £4 - 5k

 

[Dressagebabe]

Its 15yrs old!!!

 

[Daisychain]

Yes at 15yrs old thats plenty of money, in another 3yrs it wont be worth hardly anything.

 

[Reashi]

Also I don't take from the advert that it has actually competed at 3* or 4*, it seems pretty vague and I read it as it could get to 3* or 4* but hasn't yet. Although if that it is what they mean then it seems unlikely at 15yrs old to get there, so I may be wrong!

 

[sallypops]

it funny cause if abby was for sale it would sound like an ad for her apart from its a boy lol, what website was it on??

 

[*hic*]

this is him:

priced at £4,000 to £5,000 on this ad.

 

[jumpthemoon]

I've seen the ad - they say it's 3* quality but not competed more than open novice, so I think the price is about right, if not a touch expensive....

 

[trundle]

I have to ask - I've seen the term in a few adverts, but what the heck is a "mother's horse"? is it just something that's safe to lead ponies from, or is it something more exciting?

 

[LCobby]

I read Mother's Horse not as not to take a lead rein pony, but for someone of more mature years has other resposibilites, more worried about injury, and beyond being a Crash Test Dummy

 

[flowerlady]

They normally mean by 'mother's horse' that it would be alright for mother to hack about on and daughter to compete at PC/local shows etc.,

Or that's the way I read it

 

[FestiveFuzz]

In honesty I would say 4-5k is a tad expensive for a horse of that age and experience.

Am a little worried that the original poster read it as £4 though........I mean are they for real???

 

[xxpippaxxevaxx]

SORRY I DIDDNT READ PROPERLY JUST FORGET THIS POST
