would you be put off if

[landyandy]

as title says, would you be put off by someone selling a horse, when they have only had it 3-4 months

It would certainly make me wary. Depends on the reason (which I'd double check!)

 

[Snowfilly]

Not always. I've known people sell very quickly for health or injury reasons - human ones I mean! - and also because they bought 2 horses instead of one to offset journey costs, which seems to be fairly common with Irish imports.

But I'd want to know why before considering it.

 

[risky business]

Would depend entirely on the reason for sale.

I sold a mare I had after 6 months, nothing wrong with the horse we just didn't gel in anyway shape or form.

I'm thinking of selling the one that we have for my husband, he as took on a new job, and really does not have the time, it's genuinely no fault of the horse

Wouldn't bother me assuming there was a legitimate reason.

I sold mine after 5 months. We really didn't gel and just didn't suit each other. I was up front about this to prospective buyers and found him a lovely home quite quickly.

Not at all- I judge the horse,not the seller... A lot of people just buy horses to bring them on a bit then sell on, I do that, dont make a profit but it helps finance my riding and I enjoy working with young horses

 

[landyandy]

thank you all, I feel bad about having to sell him, but it's what is best for the horse. I just wondered if people would judge me, I already have my own, and don't have time for 2.
