Very sad advert

No he didn't ask to meet on a car park, he gave me his address and I said I'd use google maps or sat nav to find directions, he said if I got lost then just to give him a ring and he'd meet me wherever I was. I'm not going to go alone though, just in case :)

I think it'll be a 30 minute drive, but I'm not 100% sure, I'll have to google his post code and see how far away it is, I'm not the best at knowing how far away/how close I am :p

Haven't read all the replies but I noticed a few were aimed at me so here goes :p

First of all thanks to rhino for pm'ing me, as far as I was aware Natalie was going to view Tilly and contact me if she didn't buy her so I could arrange a viewing, as Natalie didn't contact me (no doubt the message got lost in all the replies) I assumed Tilly had been bought :)


I have since contacted the current owner and arranged a viewing, however apparently there are a couple of viewings inbetween now and my viewing so time will tell.

If I do buy Tilly I will offer her the best care I possible can, I'm not out to make any money, I simply have a field which could happily manage another horse, and it seems a waste not to use it :)

If I hear anything of course I'll keep you all updated :)

In the meantime, please carry on with your quick-witted jokes, you've made laugh :D

:) oh that is fantastic news!! :) well done ABC, look forward to hearing how you get on x
 
I know Fiona, as much as I feel sorry for her, there's no way that I would take her on because I couldn't afford to treat her, but how awful, the advert reads like 'well, I've had her ten months, she's old and needs money spending on her, so who will buy her?' terrible :(

Such a sad look on her face in the head shot. :( I'm not sure it's fair to be passing her on at all, she's lame and they think it's permenant and can't afford the physio. :( Will you, or anyone else, be able to either? And I wouldn't be riding a lame horse, light hack or not. Poor lass.

Poor old girl... should be PTS really... I think the owner has a cheek to be asking money for her!! :( What is wrong with these people?? poor thing has been used and abused and will now be passed around until someone puts her down :mad:... dreadful behavior!
 
I know: the advert mentions no jumping! :mad:

This sort of ad pulls at my heartstring, but I know that I could never take on something which would cost so much and is elderly, but it does make you sad :( Poor old girl
 
So sad poor girl .

10 months???:rolleyes: something smells fishy. Look how she has tied her rope directly to the gate so if she pulls back the gate would clang.:mad: Does she not have any twine.

Shame we can't save her. God i wish I had more land and more money:(

This lad would be coming home with me if I had a space for him. Look at that face! The little yard next to mine might be coming up (please, please, please) as the tenants owe a fair bit and might be asked to leave. I have decided that if I take it on and when I feel ready, I am going to take a fella like this one, feed him, let him grow, keep him warm, handle him well and when the time is right find a good home for him.

Stupid maybe, waste of money - no.

I know the man advertising that, I can't see it being something he's bred himself. I've seen his older mares, 2 and 3 year olds. One of my friends knows him very well. He will have picked that up from someone else.

But why not worm, feed up for a few weeks and wash the poor thing before putting it on the site? So sad.

Also, didn't he have a mule for sale who looked pretty poor too? Or was that someone else?
 
Re; Funerals, My YO Has five imported fresians and does the carriage driving with them for funerals. She also does weddings and has 2 lippizanners. They are GORGEOUS. I would give my right arm for one of them.
 
Fiona - I don't know. I don't know him that well. I've met him a few times that's it. As i said, One of my friends knows him quite well. I was just stating that it won't be something he has bred himself.

Also - Proves those thinking no one could possibly find out about a thread on here wrong! It wouldn't be hard for him to find out if i mentioned it to people who know him, Same for the other bloke ;)

Because 'ordinary' youngstock aren't really selling. Quality youngstock are, and the 'pity' buys...

Sad state of affairs when you are more likely to sell something that looks like cr@p, because buyers like to think they think they are 'rescuing' it :(
