what are the most weirdest phone calls you got while having a pony up for sale?

in the states when selling a QH,

caller: why is he so cheap?
me: because he's only been in work one season and its a bad time of year for selling cutting horses?
caller: are you sure its not because he's lame?
me: he's not lame. He's been out four times this week working.
caller: an honest rancher can't cut a break anymore, people keep trying to sell off their lame dog food horses on me!!!
And he hung up LOL
 
Well not quite a phone call, but I got a text message asking me to do an adult movie dressed up in riding gear, spurs and hunting crop :eek:
 
Mine's not quite as bad as some of these but I'll join in anyway...
Had my filly up for sale and got countless numpties ring up! This was one of them...

Caller; Hello, I'm an animal lover. I have fish and hamsters and now I fancy a pony to play with.

Me; Right...so what do you plan to do with her? (Bare in mind she's a little 18 month old pony)

Caller; Me and my boyfriend will ride her. I'm 5ft7 and my boyfriend is 6ft is that ok?

Me; Right....do you have any experience of horses?!

Caller; Yeh, this girl I know has some and I've seen them in the field.

Me; Ok, don't think she'll be suitable for you afterall. Bye!!
 
Advertised 15.1 not novice ride would suit competetive home, got a phone call "hi i'm just ringing up about the horse you've got advertised, my 8 yr old daughter's just started riding and the horse is in my price bracket".
 
I didn't have any silly phone calls when I had my pony up for sale! The first person that phoned bought him. He was vetted and gone in less than a week!
Anyone else that rang me seemed rather sensible.

I did have a bit of an issue with Horsemart as someone else stole the picture I used in my advert and put it on theirs as their pony looked identical! I had a few sarcastic e-mails about that, questioning if I was a genuine seller as my pony was a lot more money that the other one.
 
A girl I know had an advert showing her on the horse, standing still and looking at the camera. She is very slightly built and very attractive although a grandmother! She had a funny phonecall. Not quite heavy breathing, but definitely "odd." So she used ringback on the telephone and a woman answered the phone, so the seller went into a long story about the husband had telephoned about a horse for sale, obviously the wife was completely puzzled, and presumably the husband would have had some explaining to do!
He didn't ring again anyway.
 
Opposite way round:

I asked "so does he have any issues under saddle?"
Their reply "oh, well my daughter won't ride him anymore as he started bolting".
I ask "right, anything else?"
- "yeah, he bucks a lot as well. I think he just needs reschooling"

It was the fact that they were so casual about it, as if loads of horses had these problems and they were so easily fixed! I didn't buy it BTW.
 
My friend got asked how big her horse's ahem ***male bits **** are and whether she ahem, well, actually, now I've started writing I can't finish the post! Its too rude! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Rhymes with a feathered friend!
