Very sad advert

All about Romeo - dead serious.

I have a small trekking centre cum circus training camp. If I'm going to fork out for her she needs to be working pretty bloody sharpish.

Ps most of my customers are fat so that's why I go for cobs, FYI

I might be able to supply you with a three legged donkey... for a fee, obviously.

^^ This. Just ;)


Natalieshort - I'm not sure what you hope to achieve with this thread now. It was originally supposed to be about a youngster people felt sorry for (rightly or wrongly), but seems to have turned into something else entirely. I assume you still care about horse welfare today as much as you seemed to when you were first posting about buying Tilly, and I don't think the way this thread is going is doing you or horses like Tilly any favours :(

I totally agree with you. But like somebody said in this thread there is more negativity than positivity and people tend to keep commenting on the negative bits

Pm Natalieshort, she seems to have a natural talent for picking a wrong 'un, given her previous posts.
Seriously, I think it may be best to ignore her now, usually the best way to deal with toddler tantrums.
Would be interested to know if anyone does buy Tilly though.
 
I am boring, seriously, I am genuinely boring with not one worry about it.

On a boring note (as I don't think Natalie is the devil in disguise), a couple of days ago there were folk encouraging a 17 yr old girl and her boyfriend go meet a scratty dealer in a carpark!

Only on the internet!

It's not a wrong 'un, it's the right leg the donkey is missing.

Fair enough, but you're not obliged to keep replying. No one is. This thread could die a death with what little dignity it might still possess and everyone would forget about it in a week.

Read and re-read before you post, you accused people of bullying a child, 2 sentences on you are denying being childish! Your admission that you are indeed a child means that of course you are childish. Otherwise you would just be a precocious brat, and no-one likes them either.

I think we probably all feel sorry for the foal in the ad, the problem is what to do about it.

I fully understand someone wanting to swoop in and "rescue" such a poor little thing. I feel tempted myself, this girl's on my doorstep. Like I've said before, that would be madness though.

Really, if anyone wants to do poor horses in need a favour, I think they'd be better adopting a horse from a reputable charity/welfare organisation though. That way you free up funds and room for another genuinely rescued horse or pony.

It's not so dramatic or exciting maybe, but IMO a more effective way of helping.

Martlin - can he pull his weight like a 4 legger????

I don't take passengers, they all have to earn.
Mind you, one less leg = less nutrition required? Quarter off his feed bill?

Hmmm *ponders*

And a saving on farriers bill. You could always fit a bike wheel, I'm sure I saw a tortoise with a wheel once.

Well, obviously you aren't very clever! His weight is less than a 4 legger - about one leg less, to be precise. He does pulling, carrying and hop skipping.

I don't know, there were a few towards the start who didn't seem to see what the issue with it was. Bear in mind I first read this thing when it was on page 4ish and came back to it just now (blimey!) :D

I'm totally the wrong person to advise anyone else on rescuing or not. I'm the swoop in and rehome type :D
 
I always wondered why teens got so much stick on here, as the majority I know are lovely. This thread has cleared that up.
Patterdale, can I join your circus? Can ride my daughters finely built 11.1 mini x nf. In riding stuff I'm 9stone but being experienced I am fine on her. Maybe myself & someone else could double up on her for a juggling act?
 
Why do you all think your something special? Just remember you was once a teenager so dont be looking down your nose at me. Now i know what they mean about, snobby "horse owners" who are up there own arses. I know ALOT of people who aren't and im not saying you all are but i can name afew

Which one would you like it to be? Missing both would be an inconvenience - would need to be propped up against a wall or something.

I have no preference, however 2 on the one side is a major advantage in hilly country. If you go with my aforementioned tortoise-esque wheels.

On a thread recently about members' ages, I was astonished how many teenagers there are here. They post intelligent, knowledgable posts and no-one would suspect their age if it hadn't been for that thread. One regular contributor said she's 15 which amazed me. I'd never have guessed. :)
