What do you think of my Ad?

[Pixxie]

today I placed my ad for Marley what do you think?

http://www.horsemart.co.uk/advert/10_yrs_15_2_hh_chestnut_cambridgeshire/34736

price obviously open to offers home is far more important than anything
if you know of anyone who may be interested as well let me know

[Bowen4Horses]

ah, it made tears spring out of my eyes...

bless you. bless little Marley. i hope you find a deserving home for him. i'll ask around. xxx

 

[Bowen4Horses]

out of interest, what is it that he does, if he doesn't buck or rear?

xxx

 

[Pixxie]

well you cant get on him for starters, he wont walk, he wont trot, if he canters its just a mad rush of panic, naps, spins,

hes just one of lifes worriers and cant cope with being ridden he just goes completely tense and yeah you can feel it when youre on board that he is so so unhappy

ETS: this is why a long term project would work, cos he jsut needs so much time, but with me going off to college I dont have that time, if i did this advert would not exist

[Bowen4Horses]

oh bless. i wonder what happened to him to make him like that? poor little thing. i wish we had our new house already. i'd take him. but at the mo can't afford to put another horse in livery.

fingers crossed he finds a lovely, kind, gentle home. x

Aw hun.

As to the advert, if you are able to amend it take out the word 'sane', becaue further down you say he isn't, which then reads like that isn't the case. Confusing. Also, what is he like to box, shoe, etc. etc. etc.

Hugs.

 

[Pixxie]

i cant edit it now, and forgot to say what hes like to box, shoe etc :s oops

and i said he was sold to me as sane, then say i realised he wasnt any of the above within days

so i hope that makes sense

Its an honest add which nobody could fault, I hope you find a nice home for him where you can stay in touch with him.
Such a shame but at least it's not going to happen to another girl and hopefully he will progress with someone who can start him from scratch again or just be a very good friend to another horse.

Good Luck.

 

[MrsMozart]

Well hun, he sounds and looks lovely. You've been totally open and honest. At that price he will sell - someone will have the time to put in

. Hugs to you.

It made sense to me, don't worry. I think the advert is fine. If people are interested in him they'll contact you to ask about the bits you missed such as shoeing etc. Good luck selling him he sound slike a sweety.

I agree - wishing you every luck in finding him an honest, permanent home. Hope you dont get too many timewasters.x

 

[Pixxie]

just to clarify, incase you wanted to know lol, he is an angel for the farrier, you can tie him up and leave him and he practically falls asleep with his nose on the farriers bum lol

nightmare to worm

travels brilliantly loading is not too good, but if he trusts you and you put a lunge line round his bum he;s fine, but travelling is quiet as a mouse

catch erm field headcollar and treats and hes fine lol

[MrsMozart]

All crossed for you that the right person comes along soon.

Will keep an ear out.

 

[howengold]

Aww how sad. Good luck to you and I will ask around xx

 

[samstar]

I think you have been very honest in your advert, and I sincerely hope someone out there will take him under their wings like we did with ours.
Best of luck xx

I hope he finds a nice caring home. Hugs xx
