Why do I do this to myself ?

[dorsetladette]

I came across this advert a couple of weeks ago. Sent it to a friend and we both decided it was just to far to transport, but had they been closer we would of. But I just can't get these little mites out of my head.

Does anyone fancy a road trip and a few projects?

Oh bless them they are so cheap I don’t have transport but happy to chip in a few quid to secure their future

I know their pennies. But I feel moving them from Scotland to the south coast is a bit unfair on them and my pocket.

Oh bless, I have room for them all! I wish I was tiny but I have no jockey.

[Rumtytum]

Little beauties! I'd gladly chip in too

I think she is quite close to me. Posts a lot of slightly suspect ads on Facebook. Just made the link - avoid!

 

[EventingMum]

The phone number is the same as the advert below which has a name on it, the person named is linked to some very dodgy dealers sadly.

 

[TPO]

Also advertising "Captain the best cob on the planet"...I'm no expert but I sint think cobs are supposed to be that shape?!

They seem to have a new “name” every couple of months. A friend bought from them and it all turned very nasty. Pm for details!

And a Clydesdale “Safest horse in Scotland”

Also with Kamikaze on this one.

Dodgy as hell... no idea where those ponies came from..

I really shouldn't look. I'm small enough to be jockey and I happily get them going so they can be loved by a little person.

I hope someone closer takes them on as a project.

I would doubt any one of them would be workable.

 

[dorsetladette]

Thanks everyone for the offers of chipping in. But logistically it's not going to happen.

I wouldn't want to line the pockets of someone like that.

But just feel so sorry for the sad looking ponies advertised for peanuts on there.

I just shouldn't look. Tiny, wormy youngsters, and teenagers riding young mini Shetlands. Breaks my heart every time I look at that website

If people stopped buying from them then they would go out of business. Problem being the main names are known and easily searchable, but they keep adding and changing names that they trade under.

Which area are they in? I’ll need to dig further. That first one has something about it I quite like.

I get it. For every pony bought potentially puts another one in that same situation but you can't help but feel sorry for the unfortunate ones that end up there.

Let's face it if they got put out of business would they find all the ponies loving homes? I doubt it they would just be abandoned in a field.

I only know their in Scotland. But it would appear a couple of other people know a location.

Have pmed you holeymoley.

I feel so sad for any pony that is only worth £200. Would love to win the lottery and rescue the lot of them.

Same here Kamikaze, she’s all over my Facebook with her perfect, amazing, unbeatable horses.

Poor baby... I'd love to have him here.

(His price is ludicrous.)

Crickey, he's certainly... interestingly shaped. He needs his balls off, and some TLC, poor thing!

 

[IngramsRoughDiamond]

The two cobs and the older Welsh pony below all have the same Tel number as those 3 and I would guess the older Welsh mare is the dam of at least one of the three young Welsh ponies seeing as two are 2yo and one is 3yo. All dodgy no doubt

 

[dorsetladette]

Seems the person has a fair few to feed over winter. As she isn't doing the best job of feeding through summer it's a concern.

 

[holeymoley]

Where’s the cob? I’ve seen the welshies, a Clydesdale a coloured cob and sweet blagdon cob... just being nosey

There's another ad where he's reduced to £1950 but the one I've linked to has more photos.

I thought he was maybe a three year old from the photos but the text says that he's seven.

Captain

 

[gingergreg]

If you put the phone number in the search box it brings up loads, I looked last night and there was maybe 15 ish? Captain started at £2700 He's such an odd shape

 

[Meowy Catkin]

He is standing downwards on a hill and is at an angle in that pic (post 28) which does him no favours. He is lean and wasp waisted. His hindquarters look weak. I really thought that he was a fast greying youngster when I saw the pics.

A more level pic.
