Later reply:
Thanks,i have to through the site and am okay with all what is written there,I appreciate it a lot.I am okay with all your words with the price just consider it sold to me and forget about any other buyer Okay....Please let it be on hold for me you can remove the ads from the website. As i am willing to make the payment before any other interested person.But because my wife is ill and i have to take good care of her and kids very well.I will instruct my client to issue the bank cheque for this amount plus the shipping fees which the total of the check will be $20,000 all together.once you receive the check and have it clear the bank as i know it only take 24 hours or 2 to 3 days for a check to clear,once it does clear,you'll deduct the cost of the Item and send the rest of the funds via western union money transfer to the shipping company for the shipping beneficary and the cost for transfer fee will be deduct from the balance as well ok so that they can prepare the necessary paper works and facilitate the pick up arrangement when coming for the pick up.

I have also spoken with Mr Michael King the person that will come for the pick up from your location and he has agreed to make the arrangement after you migth have recieved the payment.
Therefore,I will need the the following information for the payment to be made......

{1} Name that the check will be made payable to
{2} The address it will be sent to through a Fedex fast express courier service that will be delievered to you ASAP.
{3}I will also need your phone number so that the courier postman can call you on coming for the delievery of payment to you.

Here waiting for your response.

Thanks and God bless you.

Best Regards

What would have happened?
The horse owner would probably have received a certified bank check and deposited the check with no problem. Actual bank processing takes 7-14 days though. The money sent by money transfer would be in the scammers hands by then and the horse owner would be out the $10,000 difference. The scammer probably never would have come to pick the horse up.
