I wish I was joking, but unfortunatley not. I have been asked all of the following questions.

Horse is a 16.1 experienced BSJA horse, with over 1000 winnings, advert states that he is very forward going and keen therefore not suitable for a novive, just to give you an idea without posting full advert.

1) No he probably wouldnt be suitable for youre 8 year old daughters first horse
2) I dont care how good the home is, I will not accept £200
3) Neither will I give him to you to compete over summer then take him back in the winter
4) Yes, with over 1000 bsja winnings, I would certainally think he is out of BN
5) No I wont travel him 300 miles to youre yard for you to try. Thats not how selling works.
6) Yes, he does require a rug in winter, and hay/haylidge
7) I personally think he looks better in black tack, but should you buy him that would be youre own personal prefferance

Also, I dont mind, in the slightest, if you request information/ pictures and so on, and then decide that the horse isnt suitable for you, but please tell me this instead of fobbing me off, arranging a a time to call me to arrange a viewing, then never getting back in touch x

Number 7 is legendary - the others are all what you really expect from the dopes out there buying, but 7 is a new one on me :eek:

Agree no 7 is hilarious!

We once had a lady ask if the horse rolled in the field as she was worried that she wouldn't have time to keep a coloured horse clean!

I was selling a just backed 3 and a half year old NF a couple of years ago. Bless him, he was going beautifully in walk and trot and I personally, would not expect any more from him at that age . . . . I got asked why i hadn't cantered and jumped him . . . . . my reply was incredulous and not awfully polite . . . .
