I found a Friesian Gelding for sale in my price rang (if I did sell chief) http://www.horseclicks.com/horses/vlckdr/

If Jen ends up Really asking for chief, then I am very interested in Luck charm.

So I e-mailed this lady and I got this back........(Something tells me something is wrong with this, I have high lighted the things that make me think that, But I Might just be alittle emotional about chief. And well idk
What do you guys think?


Hi,
Thanks for getting back as regards my horse.I will be giving out my Baby to a new home.He is Called Lucky Charm,has a very calm temperament.He is 7 years old and 16.3 hh in height and 1300 lbs in weight.I have had him for all these years now and he is well trained,and presently very healthy as he is constantly vet checked.(why would he need to have "constant" vet checks if he is healthy?)
He is very good for a ride as he is very healthy(why say he's healthy again?),rides western and English,young and active. has also been trained to do trail.He is broke for intermediate or beginner but also for advance riders,You will be getting the best companion you can ever desire.He is good in the saddle.he is good with kids and other domestic animals and horses.Lucky gets psylium monthly and We use fly predators for Lucky too . He enjoys trail rides and i do blanket him .he's got no health issues
He really loves carrots ad treats and i think he might like a mixture of orchard and alfalfa,he is also good with water crossing .I don't think another person will deserve Lucky better than you.(when I e-mailed her all I said was that I was interested in some more information and photos, and maybe we would speak on the phone.)
I had a car accident in which i was hurt badly on my legs.So i am on a wheel chair.I might not be able to ride my horse again.It is for this reason that i am looking for a lovely and caring home for my boy,i wont ask you to pay a price for him,but what i really want a lovely home guaranteed for him.If you can assure me that he will be well loved and taken care of,then i will let you have him.My Family and I just moved into a New home in Florida which is not convenient for him.I moved there with my family after the accident,so you will be paying just for the shipment and delivery fee to your location.You shall pay this directly to the shipping agency before the horse is shipped and delivered.the shipment and delivery will cost $800 USD(this is probably normal to pay the shipping company direct, I was just wonrdering tho)
If i had a way of keeping him i will,but i have no option than give him to a new Home. The money is not really my prime object,but i just want the horse get a new home. I don`t know if you may need the saddle ,because i will have no use for
it now since i cant have a horse.
Where Exactly are you located?
How soon do you want the horse(whysay the horse and not him or Lucky or something, ya know?)?
I will be waiting to read from you.
He is very good with children.these are the pics of him and let me know when you will want him shipped and delivered.
Thanks

N/B:YOU ARE PAYING JUST FOR THE SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY TO YOUR HOME $800 USD


i am Probably crazy, tho I would love to have him, I dont think I could being myself to pay for his shipping and all when I have never met him and I dont know how he is in person....idk....


but the lady who is keeping chief right now, says she really loves him and would love to buy him for what I bought him for.....So I have been thinking but i dont know yet..

Just what the others said. Probably isn't even her horse if there are pictures they are probably something she [he] found on line.

I'm sure. A friend found pictures of her 2 year old stallion in an ad on one of these free sites, advertised as a kid safe gelding.

Healthy sound Friesians who are pictured schooling in dressage don't sell for $800 shipped. Trust your inner alarm on this, not the hopeful optimist who thinks she can get something for nothing. :)

This is a scam to get your money then you won't see a horse. Look at each ad and you will see different locations, Va. and Mo. I have heard this has happened to other people on other forums, run from this one as far as you can. My 2 cents anyway. lol

That was kind of my thought.....I thought you loved him sooo much and seeing and hearing how depressed you were without him that seems extreme.

Yeah I know guys, I'm just getting alot of pressure at home, my dad says thiers no reason to have a horse right now with the wedding and all, I need to save my money.
And Jen talks about how much she loves chief all the time and how he would be perfect for her daughter now that she is getting into riding and all.

I am 99.99% sure I wont be selling him, Just thought Id look and see if anything hit e the way he did, and nothing did lol

I'll be getting him Next Monday or Tusday.
Gotta wait till after my Tennessee cause everyones days are all full for now.

Love my new job, but getting up at 5:30 every morning is hard, speeking of that I better get to bed.

Thanks everyone.

I thought you were picking him up this past Mon or Tues???

Sounds like your not sure what you want to do with Chief.
Id give it a good long hard look before bringing him back and maybe sending him out again.

You will get used to the 530AM thing.
I do it 5 days a week, and have to take care of my animals first, then on to taking care of everyone elses dogs/cats, rabbits, what ever small animal may be in.
Its all good! Makes your day go by quicker, and you get off work earlier!
Big plus'!!

I thought it would be to, but it was put off till next monday. Because the lady chief is with wouldnt anser her phone now she is to busy...not really sure why her and her husband have to be thier when I pick him up. but oh well.

I know I sound alittle out of it, but thier only fleating thoughts...I'll be keeping chief just tired of the crap i'm getting from my family..
It will all be ok tho.

Is it private property? If so, that could be why.
If someone had a horse at my place, Id prefer to be there, unless I knew you well, very well, like best friend well. If its a boarding facility, then it shouldn't matter.

Gotcha on the 2nd paragraph((HUGS))crap sucks.

yeah I know:rolleyes:I'm sorry, Just emotional today.

To tell you the truth, I really love my new job, but every day gets harder with out my boy, being around all those nice horses but not mine... Makes me miss him even more then when I wasnt around the horses at all, I work for three hours a morning cleaning stalls and stuff but all i'm thinking about it chief day dreaming about lunging him every day after work and how awesome he is gonna look after being on grain for a month or two and all the excersize* he is gonna get.....it all makes for an emotional rest of the day, cause I cant wait to get him up here and I hate that I have to wait till next week...feels like for ever...
