Very strange

Seems like she's messed up his back with badly fitted tack and now wants to offload him to whoever will have him. :(

Nice.
 
I saw it earlier on, got to be more to it than a badly fitting saddle, it did say a potential buyer pointed it out :(. I don't think there's many horses in the North East selling at the moment and sounds like they want rid without investigation. Also he has not evented.

Hmm. It says "superb eventer". :rolleyes:
 
I totally get that some people just do not have the time and money to 'fix' horses, but it is sad when you see this.

I have spent the last three years getting my boy right afyer being started wrong then an accident followed. It has been emotionally draining and also financially, but there was nothing better seeing him trot and canter with his tail up and sound a few months ago :)

Such a shame.
 
It's odd that you would just go with what a viewer said and not get it checked by some one else when you stand to lose a sig amount of money offloading as companion instead of selling as ridden horse.

In the comments someone asked and she said no he hasn't but he could... Looks like a nice little horse though.

Yes I think he looks lovely. I hope he ends up with someone who really appreciates him and can sort out whatever the back issue is.
 
Sounds to me like he has done unaffiliated eventing as the question she replied to was specifically about BE. Also I think it's the eventing that is no longer her scene as opposed to through horse. That's just how I read things.

All seems a bit strange though. It sounds like they are going to get his back looked at now though.
 
You're all reading different to me then. Sounds like he did event, just not BE level although he has potential and one of the reasons she's selling is eventing isn't her scene anymore, not the poor horse.
 
Aside from the back issue, surely it's better to admit she isn't interested in what the horse is good at & sells him to a home where he can enjoy eventing than try & fit him to what she wants to do? Square peg round hole situation.
 
Just seems insane to me she would virtually give a superb eventer away because a non professional said it has a bad back. I'm not buying what she's coming out with !
