HOW DO THEY GET AWAY WITH IT???

 

[jesterfaerie]

I hate seeing horses like this I just want to buy them and put them in the field with a big bale of hay but then it makes them sell the rest like that because people take pity.

Horrible.

disgraceful

Shocking

 

[Sugarplum Furry]

Please don't show me photos like that. I just want to go and get them, and I'm already on horse overload here. That trotter colt looks as though he's going to waste away. I'm assuming it's a dealer? Bloody disgraceful !!!

 

[ChowChow]

Poor little things. They can only hope someone nice and experienced will buy them and let them be young horses as most of the 2 years olds on that page are already being driven.

 

[trendybraincell]

I think Jack the trotter colt on page 2 is worse

 

[BankEndRescue]

you just know where they are going to end up being advertised at those prices

 

[bex1984]

I got half way down page two before i could not look at any more

disgraceful

I was thinking the same thing, and I am by no means hard-hearted. The horses look a little skinny, but they're not RSPCA cases by any means

 

[M_G]

Thank heavens... I did expect to be shot down in flames.

I see nothing wrong with any of the horses on page 1 or 2 yes they may have been backed a little earlier than you or I would but they all look pretty much healthy

 

[MizElz]

Yup, I agree.

Now, if someone had posted a link to the page and said, 'Isnt the piebald/chestnut etc on page X lovely?' I doubt many people would have jumped on the bandwagon about any of the other ads. People buy and sell youngsters all the time like this - I dont find this type of ad or site unbelievable at all!

 

[M_G]

I really like quite a few of the heavy coloureds on there.... very hairy Hmmmm
No stop me now I can't afford it

 

[MizElz]

*slaps wrists*

Now now, you should be boycotting this site!

 

[muffinino]

I think they might be talking about the 16hh piebald stallion that's advertised for over 3k and is quite skinny. Not quite so bad be an RSPCA/ILPH case but certainly thin enough that the advertisers should be ashamed of themselves.

 

[M_G]

I know but look on page 5 at billy and coloured broodmare with colt foal at foot just below him *sigh if only I had that rich man*

 

[bexandspooky]

I have seen worse!

 

[muffinino]

So have I, that doesn't make it right.

 

[BankEndRescue]

I've seen a LOT worse too but those horses are way too lean and I don't think any self respecting person, or one who cares for their horses would wish to be seen advertising horses in that condition

 

[Laafet]

I just couldn't believe how many were 2 or 3 and being ridden or driven. That is mad, of course they are quiet, the poor things aren't even grown up yet. On page 2 is only 3, ride and drive and been running with a stallion so probably infoal, WTF she has horrendous conformation and is now adding to the FUGLY horse mountain of cr*p that is rife on this site.

 

[niagaraduval]

That's horrible.. I own a trotter.. I thought they were rare in England?!
aww... I want to o and by them now...

 

[MooMoo]

I dont think they're that bad. Sure, some arent in great condition but they seem ok. If i had the experience and knowledge i'd be tempted to buy one and bring it on. Most look like they'd make quite nice horses given a bit of TLC . Hopefully they'll be bought by good, knowledgeable people.

Sorry, really don't see what the problem is. They are youngsters, could do with a little more weight, but not terrible.

I do however find a lot on this website shocking, as so many 12/18 month animals seem to riding and driving at that age already. You can tell that a lot of these are owned by the 'less savoury' element of people.

 

[Gucci_b]

Can't look....

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Dont see a thing wrong with them at all , They are youngsters , Missy looked all ribby at that age .

Shoot me !

 

[Tillywilly]

I have seen worse looking horses on here!!!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Like this

 

[Tillywilly]

Nope that just looks like a outdoor loving, normal gangly spangly baby to me!
