Why do some people not read adds ?

[BBH]

I have advertised a grass livery vacancy ( with optional stable ) for a youngster to keep my 2yr old company as we want him to interact with those his own age but I am besieged with people contacting me about their 6 - 28 yrs old horse / pony and would that do as they are ' very playful'.

Is there such a shortage of grass livery that people are hoping I will take any age ? I would have put in my add if I wanted older / any age horses and I personally wouldn't answer an add where someone was offering something different to what I had.

Seems silly tbh.

Not silly imo. It is most important to have similar aged companions as a foal, although a companion of any age is better than none at all or just the mother. If a 6 year old is playful then it is no different to a 2yo. In fact better, because it hopefully would have some proper education behind it that it can influence the younger horse with, whilst still having the benefits of a playmate.

He does have older field mates for the manners side so did want something his own age. Oldies don't really play very much, just eat.

I think people read what they want to read and then think they can phone, explain their circumstances and hope yuo will say 'well I wasn't going to, but OK then'. Grrr.

I'm not sure some people read adverts at all! I have had people ring me up many times and ask me all the questions I have already answered in the advert! It is annoying.
