Trying to buy a horse in this area is near impossible

In the 70s a chap came into the Palmerston asking if anyone wanted to buy a horse.

A few weeks later he was trying to sell a boat

I blame capitalism.

Turns out you are correct.

Have you tried Tesco? Weren't they selling horse a short while ago?

[Seemo]

How are first time riders meant to get a foot on the stirrup with current prices?

The signs have been around for some time.

Lidl on Old Kent Road had an aisle full of Equestrian clothing and equipment a while ago.

Not sure about horses for sale, but you can certainly ride a horse if you join http://www.dulwichridingschool.co.uk which is based on Dulwich Common.

One day as I cycled down the off-road route from Peckham Library to Burgess Park I heard a horse neighing. I stopped and looked, and there was a house beside it with a couple of stables with horses in them. It was one of those magically surreal moments when you feel the universe might be trying to tell you something but you're too brainwashed by modern life to understand it.

I bought my four-legged horse for ?200,000 in 1998. Can you believe it? According to rightmare it's now worth ?2m!!!!

Luckily, I think you can get still get a three-legged nag in Nunhead for about 500.

Well there's no better mark of the decline of upward social mobility than the lack of people at the lower socio-economic end that can't get a leg up onto a horse.

True. Have been stuck with a shabby rental-donkey for ages; I'd move to a cheaper area but they're all full of shifty-looking drug mules.

trying to buy 'horse shit' for the garden in this area is near impossible but there is no shortage of 'bullshit'.

Neigh lads

There are still fix-em-uppers to get, go down to Aintree or any other steeplechase course and you can pick up a broken down nag in a shot !

6 months of lower leg remodelling and Horses Under The Hammer will come around and film you
