I couldn't find another thread like this, so I'm putting it here, cause I just had to share. I found this ad an craigslist this morning, and it left me scratching my head.
6-7 year old 1/4 horse for sale,
new horseshoes just replaced, well fed and taken care of,
must sell, tame on a ametaur rider, full horse not neuterd

Um ya 1/4 horse, well whats the other 3/4 cow? Tame on amature rider hm I though we humans rode the horses not the other way around. Full horse not neutered, well then once gelded what is it, 1/4 horse. Just had to comment, made me laugh when I started reading it.

Let's see, He's 27 now, the picture was taken when he was 13, but he "looks pretty much the same..."

Reply to: ****



Used to show western pleasure, has had only 1 owner. His owner is now 82 yrs old and can no longer take care of him. He is 27 but you would never know! He acts like he is 5 yrs old and has a LOT of energy. He needs someone who will love him and take care of him very well. He is an amazing animal with lots of love. Saddle and tack included at no charge! Photo is about 14 years old but he looks pretty much the same.

LMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those are GREAT! The ones that always make me want to scream are the ones where they say their animals are spaded (even if they are male they are still spaded not neutered). I wish they would use spell and/or grammar check! LOL It's SPAYED!

I had to laugh at this CL ad in my neck of the woods. All these "Gildings" .....one is even a "cramila". And seriously, what is a face net? It must go along with the "bridal" sets. The whole thing just makes my eyes bleed.
3 Horses - Gambler - Registered Palomino Quarter Horse - Age 24 - 15 Hands - Gilding, Albert - Cramila Paint - Age 13 - 14 Hands 3" - Gilding, and Jake - Thoroughbred - Age 11 - 17 Hands 3" - Gilding
3 Western Saddles - Cherokee Saddlery, Buffalo Saddlery, & Big Horn, 2 Horse Bumper Pull Trailer, 4 Corner Feeders for Hay, 6 Stall Grain Feeders, 3 Face Nets, 9 Halters, 3 Bridal Sets, Lead Ropes, Lunge Rope, Grooming Tools, Water Troughs, 2 Electric Water Trough Heaters, 4 Galvanized Gates (8' & 10'), 2 Saddle Pads, 5 Water Buckets, Portable White Tape Fence with Stakes, 2 Electric Fence chargers, 4 Saddle Racks, 1 Round Bale Feeder, and 400 plus Bales of Grass Hay. We would prefer to sell all together as a package.
All that being said, they are selling the whole package for $3000, (assuming that isn't yet another typo) which is probably a pretty good deal, considering all the gates, feeders, a trailer, hay, fencing, etc. The horses and tack themselves probably aren't worth a dime.

Haha! Well, having lived in Indiana briefly, it seems I do recall they spell EVERYTHING) phonetically, so perhaps these people don't know how to pronounce the word either! lol
I had to call information to get the number for the phone company.....answer was: (very politely, in a sweet voice....) "well Darlin'-it is under "f" for fone, of course!" Yes, True story, and no, I was nowhere near a city......which was probably an issue. It was also 30 yrs ago....:)

Haha. Sometimes I wonder if these people realize they sound like idiots.
"Philly, girl horse, etc" just total clueless of horses

Or what REALLY irritates me is they are selling a jumper/barrelhorse/dressage horse for 10k but they just have a muddy looking yak sitting in a pasture to show you. Gee let me just sign the check now...

Oh that ^^^ reminds me of another I saw today! Let me see if I can post it:



4 Year Old Breeding Stock Paint Mare. 15.3 hands and still growing. Started under saddle. Very quiet and good manners. Has the temperment to make a childs mount. Big boned solid built mare. Sire was 17 hand World Champion AQHA HOW D SPECIAL DUDE. He is from Idaho. Dam is a Special Affects bred mare and she would make an all around. Horse. Stands quietly while saddled, and been riden in round pen or indoor arena. I would not call her broke. I have WAY to many horses and need to cut back. She would make a great broodmare because of her size.



Title of the ad says "Hunter/Jumper Prospect"

Yeah huh, everything about her sure screams that to me.

This reminds me of the time we where in Iowa and my brother was trying to hit on this chick. He kept telling her how much he loves Kansas, and how great Kansas is, and if she really likes it here in Kansas.
He shut up when she said, "Sir, this is Iowa."

Then when I was waiting for my little brothers outside the restroom. Guy calls in, "Hey kids, your moms out here waiting for ya!"
I was 13.

Onto Craigslist...
""Baby" is a beautiful stout stand up 9 year old mare. LOTS OF SHAPE"

SHAME YOU FORGOT TO MENTION WHICH SHAPE. :shock:

This one was a real kicker:
Nice looking 19 yr old AQHA mare anyone can ride. She's perfect in parades, is great on the trail and in the arena and has a nice handle. She is NOT "mare-ish" and gets along well with other horses. She is a very easy keeper and is 100% sound. This mare has lots of years left . She is UTD on shots and worming and I just had her teeth floated in the spring. We bought my 8 yr old daugher a new barrel horse and so we need to sell this one. She has ridden this mare for two years.
She's only asking $1600.

"I have a really nice black and white paint foxtrotter mare for sale. She is 8 yrs old and about 16 hands.
I got her about 2 yrs ago and she is so sweet.
She does have a foot issue that requires shoes on the front but my farrier says she should be fine with shoes.
I got her from a 13 yr old girl who rode her at fun shows doing poles and such. She has also been in parades.
She loves attentions, stands well, lunges, picks up all feet with no problem, gets along well with other horses, likes kids.
Has nice foxtrot and will move out when asked. Has not been riden much in last year--I've been focusing on my gelding--but rides right off when you get on her."

Has a foot issue. A very expensive foot issue, so I'm not going to tell you what it is.


The real quirks haven't come outta the woodwork around here just yet, let the weather cool off a bit and Craigslist will be flooded.

Ahhh where was this thread the other day! I found a Warmblood on craigslist for the bargain price of 8K! Trouble is...it really was a premarin foal that was a muttly draft cross. Cute horse, no training however because its a 'warmblood' its work 8k LOL

She's just a regular trail horse, not too spooky, just 'general'. Around here, your lucky if you get $600-$800 for a good 'general' horse 5-12 years old. Since she's not a trained roping, barrel, head/heel horse, and she's considered 'old', she's going to have a really tough time selling her. I was darned lucky to get $600 for my four year old general mare, and she's broke enough for children and green beginners to ride.


Ohohoh, I almost forgot about this guy:
"Oreo is a 4 year old paint mustang stallion. He stands 14 hands tall and is green broke but never finished... He never bucked or even got skittish when I saddlebroke him.
He threw a beautilful paint colt with a 4 year old quarterhorse mare this year and I just seem to get my kids to ride him and finish training him so I want to find him a good home with someone
that will be able to finish training him and ride him. He comes to the fence when I call and loves to be scratched and rubbed but I just dont have time to finish him out and dont have
the heart to cut a horse that throws such beautiful colts. "

"I don't have the heart to cut an unpapered, barely broke, poorly put together 'mustang' (probably just a poorly bred QH) because he makes paint babies."

I mean really. I bet he would make a fine riding gelding, but a stallion? Nu uh. If he's so sweet and gentle, castrate him now before it's too late.

I swear this one will take the cake. I found this jem of an add in the local newspaper a few years back. It made me laugh so hard that I tore it out and scanned it onto my computer. :lol:



I mean, sorrow sounds like a cool color, but WTH is a gliding?!
