Re: Big Advice for Stallion Owners

That is really shocking Anastasia! Call me naive, but I did not know that people lied so blatantly in the their stallion ads.

And how stupid when it is so easy to check up on these results!

Are you absolutely sure that this is a deliberate lie - I mean, that there is no possible ambiguity either in the record or in the wording of the ad or anything? Could the horse maybe have improved since returning to the UK and competed at 1.20 over here, or something?

Or could there be a 'translation' problem? Someone on here (I think it was on here) recently claimed their horse was competing 'Advanced Medium' dressage in Germany (or somewhere) and it turned out to be a 'translation' problem - the grade she thought was equivalent to Advanced Medium was in fact more like Novice. An innocent mistake - the person did not intend to mislead anyone.

Sorry - clutching at straws - it just seems so extraordinary to me that someone would tell such a blatant falsehood! I keep thinking there must surely be some mistake.
