Why must buyers lie??

And/or not tell you the full truth. No, my 7yo tb mare is not suitable for your very young daughter to ride too and if you had told me that on the phone when you called you wouldn't have had a wasted journey. Yes, she does need more work- I did tell you that but as you are "such an awesome rider" you said that would be fine (and she IS priced accordingly!). No, she doesn't "desperately need a farrier" she is unshod behind and the ground is hard so her feet have chipped a little- didn't you see the lovely shiny new front shoes???

Aaargh, all I have had emailing so far have been idiots and the phonecalls are promising but if they don't tell you honestly what they want how can you possibly help them??

Anyone have an exploding head smilie?

i know what you mean, i've got a 5yr old (not long been backed) up for loan wvtb, he needs more work with his schooling and the advert clearly states that but i still get numpties ringing up/texting/emailing asking if he would be suitable for their novice/beginner child to ride off lead rein out hacking. or would he be able to do lots of other things right now.
i've given up advertising (just letting the adverts run) and if someone comes along from word of mouth then great if not then i get a special little pony to keep!

I am sorry to say that sellers are often untruthful too! My big bugbear at the moment is people who have guessed at the height! Also I have so far tried five horses who would not go out of the yard without problems (and I am experienced and confident).

Yes, I agree sellers aren't always honest either but if we could all be honest what a wonderful world it would be!
