Trying to find an advert, can anyone help me?

[kitkat86]

Sorry if this is a bit of a pointless post. I was told this morning that a horse has come up for loan/sale but the girl couldn't tell me where she saw the ad. My work colleague used to know said horse as he was produced by our boss. If anyone could find the ad or some more details I'd be really grateful. I'm going to ask my boss if she has heard he's on the market and if she has contact details but I'd really like to find the ad first. I'm looking for a horse at the moment and my colleague said she thought he would suit me well and it'd be nice to have him back here.

The horse in question is a chestnut Danish Warmblood gelding, about 16.1 hh and turning 5 this January. He has a small blaze/stripe and a white sock on his near hind. His name, if it's mentioned, is Giorgio Armani or George. He would probably be advertised as a dressage horse and located in the South East/Thames Valley

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and has a look. I've tried googling and various horse ads sites but no luck so far.

Oops! silly question just saw the answer

sorry, I did describe him above but here it is again: rich chesnut with a small blaze and one white sock on the near hind.

Is he maybe advertised in your local feed shop?

 

[kitkat86]

It is possible but the girl who mentioned it definitely said it was an internet ad she had seen.

just looking on horsemart there is one under the horse for sale in the thames valley for full loan that sounds fab!

Thanks for your replies. Found some photos of him that might help confirm/deny any possibles!

Will keep looking! I am quite excited now...

I know that yard- do you work at yard in picture? Didn't want to mention name just in case you didn't want it on here!

 

[kitkat86]

No, I don't work there. I think it's been taken at Patchett's but I've only been once so not sure!

There a chesnut advertised on Facebook today for Horse and Hound but not sure if it is the same horse?

Lovely looking horse, but don't think it's the one. Thank you though!

I had a look through a few sites and found a surprising number of chestnuts around that height with a white sock on near hind, but the blazes didn't match.
I'll keep an eye out while I'm trawling the sites for my next one!

 

[kitkat86]

Thank you

I searched for ages last night, but couldn't find a gelding with such a narrow blaze. Have you had any luck today?

 

[BonneMaman]

sorry I cannot help - but hope you can sort this out.

Thanks for your efforts everyone. Spoke to my boss today and we now think it was some kind of weird wind-up. George is apparently doing very well with the girl he was sold to and is unlikely to be up for loan/sale anytime soon. Don't really know why the girl who said she had seen him advertised would make such a story up though, very weird! Never mind, I'm going to be getting some more riding at work when the weather improves and I'll continue to keep my eyes on the ads.

Thanks again!
