Title: RE: horse sale ads...good home?

Also, if you are selling a relatively green or ultrasensitive horse to a buyer who you know is a nervous or insensitive rider it may be a bad nick. I know I wouldn't sell Drako to someone that couldn't handle him correctly.  Any horse could become a basket case with the wrong owner.  I would want them to be happy and have a home for life.

Around here there are some notorious horseflesh traders you would not want to get possession of your animal at any cost.  There are also a few horse ranches and trainers that don't offer the quality of care and training practices I would wish upon my animals.  Perhaps the "good home" clause allows the seller to screen buyers like this.

<<<Being I have been looking at horse ads lately, I find one phrase sort of
amusing. "Good Home Only". Now I was just wondering, by putting those words
in the ad, do you think you will discourage those who will not give the
horse a good home from calling? >>>

That's weasel language that allows the seller to pick and choose who they
want to sell to, regardless if the potential buyers meets the price.  The
way the law works, if you advertise anything for sale, without conditions,
and someone meets your price, you must sell.  They would beable to take you
to court to force performance as well.  When you put words like, "to a good
home only", "to a perfect home", etc.  then even if they meet your price,
you can legally refuse to sell to them.
