Libby is for sale

[Soot]

Bummer.
I thought I wasn't ever going to hear from Libs again after sorting out her new loan home, etc. And now she's for sale. The loaners can't afford to buy her & owner won't lower the price despite the fact that age & temperament are against her. As far as I'm concerned, he should GIVE her to her current loaners; she is in the best place possible and now he risks sending her to an uncertain future.
*sigh*
Don't even know why I'm posting this. Nothing I can do about it. Not buying her!

We had some good time in our 4 years together!

I don't know the story but perhaps it would help if a number of people independantly went to view and commented that given her age and temperment she is grossly overpriced. ;)

Could her present home afford/want her at a vastly reduced price?

Unfortunately owner is type that will not change his mind.
On the plus side, maybe she won't sell at all this way and loaners get to keep her. I just feel sorry for them as presumably they will have to deal with owner sending people over the view her (in the same way that I dealt with organising new loaners for her when I gave her up!!) ...
I think they would want her. I don't think they should have to pay more than the price of her tack or a nominal sum, simply because I don't think the owner should get anything *lol*.

I got her as a broken down, rearing, misbehaving monster. It took me a year to fix her body & mind, then I enjoyed her for 2.5 years. After Rambo died I decided to buy my own and got Lance. Libby became emotionally neglected so I found her the perfect loan home where they have catered to her every emotional, medical, behavioural whim and continued the strict husbandry & schooling routine I set up that keeps this horse sane ...

Now he wants cash for her and he doesn't deserve anything. She's a difficult horse who becomes easy in the right hands but reverts to terrifying within weeks in the wrong hands (I attempted to share her once before giving her up completely). Owner can't ride or handle her ...

It's a no-brainer!!

eeek! why can't he give her to them?! what brought this on?! not that i know the whole story, of course, but it sounds a little odd :confused: does he desperately need the money or something?!

[mikh]

mate, am gutted to read this!!!!!!!!!

[Soot]

What brought this on is that he is a penishead. He thinks he can make some money because she is going well ... just like he thought he could start riding her when she was going well with me (and she famously ditched him in a nearby village and came home on her own, leaving him to walk up the high street with a bruise body & ego).
I'm just worried that she'll end up in the wrong home because the kind of person who does well with her also tends to understand that she's not worth much in monetary terms! Which leaves the wrong person with the money *cough*likeherowner!*cough*

[notpoodle]

i cannot believe you used the word penishead without it getting censored!!

this sounds very bad indeed! hopefully somebody will see sense before she gets pushed from pillar to post for not playing ball with the wrong kinds of people :eek:

lol
I turned her down last year when she was offered to me for free.
Wish I'd taken her now so I could gift her to the new loaners!!

[notpoodle]

how much do they want for her?! could they pay her off in instalments or something?

we could maybe all club together, own a share in miss libby!

[Joyscarer]

Well if she's that overpriced nobody will buy her. I take it she is remaining with her loaners until he finds a buyer?

If so perhaps someone she tell him she's underpriced!
