Bit of a grumble. Im not a fan of selling horses but needs must at the moment.
1 of my mares is up for sale. Shes sensible but I wouldnt say she was a novice ride. Ive had 2 prospective buyers. Both agreed to buy her then text the following day/days when suposed to be arranging to collect but actually backing out of the sale.
Shes a big 17.2hh warmblood mare who would turn her hoof to anything whether it be pure dressage, hunter, SJer eventer or showing etc.
The first girl to agree the sale had no confidence but rode my mare before her friend did. She even jumped her and hacked her out (hadnt done this in months because of her nerves) She loved my mare at how she looked after her and gave her confidence. Her reason for backing out of the sale was she was too big - though ive found out shes tried more 17.2hhs since and agreed another sale in 1.
The other agreed sale was for an allrounder to do everything. They text to say they thought shed prefer a dressage or hunting home and what they wanted was a showjumper/eventer and go straight out.
What is it with my mare or should that be buyers? Are there any genuine buyers out there that arent going to mess me and my mare around?
I would never agree a sale then back out? Why not just say no at the time of trying rather than doing scholing jumping and hacking her then texting days later.
The only thing I can think of is that its doing my mare good as shes having different riders and shes proving how much of a good horse she is
Anyone else finding the same problem with prospective buyers?
