Very sad advert

Hmmm...Natalieshort is on another thread today looking for a 14hh grey cob - has to be grey but def no youngsters?!!! Strange...or am I just being a bit pessimistic and doubtful here about her true reasons for wanting Tilly?
 
Liz66 perhaps she has space for 2? Or for a friend? Sure there are plenty of genuine reasons and she doesn't have to explain herself to all of us lot to be fair.

but equally why should one horse (or any horse) suffer for a principle?

no principle as far as I'm concerned. I don't know Natalie and I don't wish to criticise her but its easy to get caught up in the moment with a bunch of strangers who after all, not going to be stuck with the cost or responsibility of a young horse.
if she has £XXX to spend on a wormy youngster and pay for livery until she can be backed, pay for whatever a badly done youngster might need (and she might only need groceries, she might need alot more) etc etc etc then fine, go for it.
 
Except on another thread that she started today (but has not responded to) she stated she doesn't want a youngster. So taking on one like this is looking like a snap, not thought through, reaction.
 
Sorry, been lurking, but don't like the way this is turning...

Maybe she doesn't want a youngster on the other thread because she might be buying one tonight!!
 
Like i just said.. that was for a friend. She doesnt have this account and she is a novice and wanted a bombproof cob! and for some reason she wants a grey/white one. Why is it such a problemmm lol its boring
 
You won't see the horses in a car park I very much doubt. They will want to take you to where they are located. Be safe and take your own car and just follow them. Don't agree to go in their car and leave yours behind

Exactly. Well put.

Please people, these fella's have been selling badly put together ponies for quite a long time. They are (almost) all in a score of 2 - 3 physically and most have confirmation defects due to poor breeding, in-breeding, young breeding - you name it.

Removing 1 pony yearling from a bunch of them is not going to help. It might make you feel better to think you have helped 'rescue' a pony, but you MUST look at the bigger picture.

Maybe you can get a bit more rational about this - there are literally hundreds of cross-bred poorly put together ponies being sold.

This one is over meat ££'s value at least!

^^This exactly. I have met a dealer in a CP before and they got me to follow to a location. They do that so they don't have to give directions and they can check you out first too :)

I think people just want to make sure that the horse ends up with someone with the time, money and experience to cope with it - rescues come with a lot of baggage in many cases, both physical and mental. You've admitted on previous threads that you are a complete novice, and that you were wanting to find your own land to rent as your yard is 'bitchy' and 'too expensive', and the 'perfect' lead rein pony you bought at auction less than a month ago now appears to be back up for sale as no-one can handle her...

It's your decision at the end of the day though, so good luck if you do decide to go for it :)

Yes it is my descision and i don't know why your all getting so involved?! how do you not know if ive moved yards or not? and that this pony isnt mine but ive worded it like its mine for someone else for advice? It is non of your business. If i buy her, like i said before she is in my responsibility and i have people who are more than willing to help. I may not buy her? who knows. But atleast i have other people wanting to help and even wanting her.
 
Personally I think good on Natalie, no it wont change the world, there will always be poorly treated horses but at least this individual will get a better start in life.
Natalie I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure you have considered the financial and time implications carefully before deciding to take the filly on, in which case there is no reason why there should be any trouble later down the line.
As others have said please be careful when viewing her, take your boyfriend if possible and/or someone experienced in buying horses and don't go anywhere with them on your own. I hope it all works out and let us know how you get on!
 
Just wanted to say that meeting in a pub car park is very normal. I have bought two dogs (off a reputable breeder) in a pub car park. Also, I insist any livery wanting to sell a trailer or similar, take it off site and meet the buyer down the road in a car park This is to stop certain types coming up here and casing the place.
 
Thank you princess Jess! Yes I'm not that experienced but like I said before if you actually read this thread I have done it before and I did that on my own! I'm not a complete novice thinking I know what I'm doing! I've had experience but I have really experienced people on my yard! like I said I might not buy her! But this has nothing to do with you. Not commenting to people who are so negative about everything anymore to the People who are actually supportive il do another thread tonight and let you know how it went! :)

I'm looking for a horse which is bombproof in traffic, gentle, loving and which a child could handle. Recently bought a show pony which we didn't know was part Arab at first and she can't handle her at all and neither can we sometimes! Looking for no higher than 15 hands and over 12 years old, a been and done there type! Please help!! :D

It's not the ponys fault in anyway at all, sorry it sounded like that! She just came from a bad breeder and was sold as a "first ridden, lead rein child's pony" but this isn't, everybody at the yard doesn't even think she is broken!! :/ she hasn't been handled much either, she's gorgeous but she's too much for a novice child who's very soft lol, she doesn't like being firm because she thinks it's "mean" haha, and sychnant we've only had her for nearly a month and my sister is quite tall because the pony is only 11.2hh and she's very tiny and fine! We didn't realise how small she was until we brought her home because it was a suprise for my sister you see. And it looks like she's too big for her already! :( I'd try and add a picture but I don't know how haha!

I bought an absolutely stunning show pony from an auction and I thought it was too good to be true too! She was described as a first ridden lead rein pony. She hasn't even been broken!! She is absolutely stunning and a real show pony.. IN HAND! I still have her after a month but sadly she's for sale :-( annoys me how sellers can say such crap when it could be very dangerous also!

Exactly. If I were you I'd probably leave this thread now and just wait and see how it goes tonight and update those who are interested later. Everyone, horse and human, deserves a chance :)
 
I suspect Tilly would have found a perfectly good home without this thread... (there are many out there that do, many worse at sales that don't) I find the whole thing very strange and not necessarily positive, especially after those quotes Rhino.
 
Two of my favourite breeds, in one sad looking little filly. If only I had the money, space, time and expertise she clearly needs... Hope she ends up in the right home, regardless of who that's with.
