Hi......not been on for a while.....not sure if this is the right place to post.
Anyway, I have 2 youngsters for sale...both are not for a novice and states clearly this in the ad.
Had a woman ringing wanting to view.asks all the right questions.tells me what she is looking for asks if my animals may be suitable and open to vet etc...I tell her the truth as accurately as I can do....my horses have been with me for some time and I do care where they end up and want good homes for them and for them to go on to good careers.
The woman arrives with 2 teenagers in tow....who I dislike immediately.not a good enough reason to not sell though....but...these teenagers are out horsed here and just not experienced enough to handle these horses...I am sure something quieter would be much more suitable for them.and I tell them so.
The woman asks how much for both horses(???) All I can see is heartache here for the horses, they are far too much for these people to handle.the woman insists she wants both of them and asks me to reccommend a vet.
I ask her to go away and think about things.,..she just wants to talk money..I tell her I don't think this is a good idea and tell her why...I offer her a tel number for someone else who I feel will be able to help her out.she won't have any of it and demands that I sell her mine cos her daughters"just have to have".
I asked the woman to leave as gently as I could.....she is one unhappy bunny and the atmosphere as she left was not very pleasant.....really didn't want to cause offence but they just wouldn't listen. feel a bit mean just now.maybe I did the wrong thing?
