Toya Student Prince

[Just wondering]

Any idea why he is for resale, he looked rather poor from 2 of those photos on HQ?

He is a lovely pony from some of the other photos I've seen.

As reasons for selling goes though, that's has to be quite a lame excuse.

I can only assume that you haven't sold many/any ponies lately Nikki. If you had then you probably wouldn't have made the comment you did, which incidentally implies that the vendor of the pony in question is not telling the truth.

I can assure you, from someone that has recently sold a pony, i was given all of the excuses under the sun from one potential purchaser. Perhaps like the people that own the pony in question my pony was for sale, the first person to come along with the money took it & anybody who didn't have the money there & then ran the risk of it being sold. I had plenty of time wasters & people without the necessary funds.

Sometimes you can just buy a pony (or in my case a lorry) which you don't get on with once you have it home. It doesn't make it any less good to someone else who migth get on with it better. I agree that people do come along and view without the money. I had viewers for my lorry last week - very interested - lots emails during week - loved lorry BUT "unfortunately it is not within our budget!. They were looking for a lorry for £7000 less! I believe that if people love a pony - lorry or whatever they give you at least a deposit there and then and they collect it or have it delivered within a week or so.

I have to admit - if I am going to buy I take cash with me. Very rare would I go without. If I go to buy a lorry I would take it there and then (unless owners needed it for a week or so) and if I was buying a pony I would leave a deposit.

Also, on the other hand, if I have someone buying from me I would expect a deposit (non - returnable) and if I didn't get one it would still be on the open market.

There are far too many timewasters out there which I really cannot be doing with. Sorry, but if you have to go away and think about it, it isn't right.

People seem frightened to say they do not want what you are selling. Why?? I tell people if it isn't what I am looking for as it justs wastes their time otherwise.

I went to see a horse a couple of weeks ago and before it was even out of the stable I knew it wasn't right for me, I told the owners, she offered to tack it up but I told her it would just be a waste of time. We then stood having a good chat and I left - neither of us miffed with each other and on friendly terms.

If you have the cash with you and its in front of the vendor's eyes it will talk...a cheque wont!

Does anyone know if this pony is suitable for a
young jockey coming off a 13.2 show pony. Slightly nervous
so i have to be careful. Unfortunately very tall so leaving 13.2's early. Also is his head a bit plain.

Absolutely Molly - people are much more willing to talk if they see £ notes.
