Upon reading through shetlands on horsemart for inhand projects i found that.. Both sexes? Im really confused. and doesnt 3000 sound alot for a FellabellaX?

 

[Bossanova]

wow- is it cruel to laugh at it?!!

 

[Irishcobs]

Someone posted about it before, poor little mite. It doesn't look very healthy.

 

[teapot]

Sorry, I laughed too

 

[FadedFantasy]

I dont know.. It made me chuckle 3000 FOR A BLIMMING FELLABELLA X somebodys desperate could get a descent show pony for that!! and its not the best of looking.. Both sexes part has be baffled

 

[Judie]

Most odd! £3000 sounds a lot of money for whatever the wee chap/lass is....

 

[FadedFantasy]

Its condition is aweful!

 

[FadedFantasy]

Its really bad i dont know why somebody would want that much for a shetland it should be cheaper in the condition it is..

 

[FadedFantasy]

i just dont get the both sexes?

 

[CastleMouse]

That is odd, are you sure it isn't just a joke? Poor little mite

 

[FadedFantasy]

I would hope it would be a prank but i wouldnt see why they would pay money for a prank?

The ad says it's a haemaphrodite (sp?), which is basically someone or something that has sexual characteristics of both sexes - correct me if I'm wrong. Basically it looks like a mare, has a stallion crest, and had male sexual organs before gelding.

If you read the odd they mention it being "an oddity".....

 

[PapaFrita]

Actually, proper Falabellas ARE very expensive, but I think this has such a humungous price tag because it's a hermaphrodite.... Can't see the appeal personally...

 

[Bossanova]

I suppose horses, like humans can be true hermaphrodites

 

[FadedFantasy]

I know Would it go down at showing ? Would they even allow this I wouldnt know not been in the show ring before

 

[Clodagh]

Its the ugliest little ned I've ever seen, poor little thing. Hope it ends up somewhere nice.

 

[PapaFrita]

I have no idea! It would certainly LOOK rather odd with its crest.... perhaps some showing people can tell you

 

[FadedFantasy]

It would be a weird question.. HEYY are hermaphrodites alouded to be shown !!!

Id get one funny look! and it does look rather funny doesnt it?

 

[FadedFantasy]

Excuse my spelling guys haha!

 

[sham]

Oh the poor lil thing! It looks awful

 

[monica123]

awww.......poor little thing

 

[FadedFantasy]

it looks mistreated doesnt it? i read it carefully they had it castrated .. Umm sorry to sound dumb but doesnt that mean the whole thing off? and gelding just means the testicles .. Please excuse my spelling again

Im just very dumb haha !
xx

 

[Bossanova]

I dont think that from a head and neck shot you can say it's been mis-treated.
Castrating is same as gelding. The pony looks odd but not skinny or unhealthy, it prob would be worth something to someone interested in having something different but no, it wouldnt go far in the showing world!!

 

[FadedFantasy]

Wouldnt of thought not and thankYou for telling me that i shall go be very embarrased now xd!

 

[FadedFantasy]

Its just what ive been told It shows yu cant belive everything you hear Im such a numpty!!

 

[Christmas_Kate]

There was an article about this pony in one of the magazines. I don't think you can say it is mistreated.
Have you ever heard of men who have all their man bits but are women inside? it's the same thing. Nothing to laugh at, and i think the owners are making themselves look worse by selling it as some sort of circus freak.

 

[jacks_mum]

it was for sale at £5000 a couple of months ago - obviously no takers then.

 

[GinaB]

The advert has now been taken down when I tried to look at it this morning.

[FadedFantasy]

Maybe Somebodys bought it I hope its gone away to a good home.. But i really hope its not being used as some circus freek :l
