I've advertised my little NF yearling filly for very little money as I know in this market I won't get any more! However, the low price is just attracting all the wrong people!
The first person did sound promising, until she arranged with me 3 times to come and view her and all 3 times she never turned up!
Then someone else rang up. Sounded like a 13 year old girl and her friend in the background. Spoke very common. Said they had looked after horses in the past and wanted their own now. Said they would ride her and that. She's a yearling?! Jesus. And what's the lowest price I would take. Any cheaper and she'd be free!!
Then someone else phoned up. Said she's an animal lover and has fish and hamsters and now fancies a horse. Knows absoloutely nothing about them clearly. Said she would keep her in a stable and make sure she sees her every weekend. Every weekend?!?! I said have you handled a youngster before? No but my friend has got horses and I've seen hers before.
Do I put the price up to deter the wrong people? But then on the other hand, those who do know something about horses will know she's not worth much more at the moment! This is a nightmare. I just want a good, loving and KNOWLEDGEABLE home for her!!
