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
must sell asap give me an offer
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.
Oh yeah I think he's pretty too! Just I've never seen an Arab that big. Kind of away from that smaller compact Arab build that I'm used to. Lol. Posted via Mobile Device
I worry about the black bay mare. Her conformation is really really awful in my opinion, I wonder how nice a ride she would be, and she looks like she needs a few groceries to me. But what do I know, my horses have always been on the "chubby" side!
What besides the shark fin withers, the sickle hocks (lower part of back leg way under not straight down or at least straighter) a very weak croup, and a thin short neck? I think she would be a very ruff short strided horse to ride. The only thing in my opinion that she has going for her is she has long slopping pasterns and that matches close to her shoulder angle. But I am not a halter person and wasn't "trained" in conformation, that just my opinion from past experience.
I believe the Arabian stallion Azh Naborr was at least 16 hands. I lived next door to him for 14 years or more and he towered above the other 50 plus horses there.
A good friend of mine does have a registered Arab stallion (no idea if he's Egyptian or Crabbet or whathaveyou) that stands 16.1...though he's about 25 years old now. Beyond that, I have no idea if they are common or uncommon.
Wow. Maybe polish or Russian lines? Don't they usually stand taller than Egyptian and crabbet? Anyways there's a thread on here called Arabian hate. Someone (don't remember who) posted a story about a "trainer" that bred huge Arabs. That trainer told her that if you go to Scottsdale with anything under 16 hands you'd have no chance of winning. Of course that's a load of rubbish I'm sure but she said all of those huge Arabs at that barn were spooky and just kind of put a bad name on the breed. I'm sure it's not because of the height or breeding but because of that "trainers" handling. Just thought it was an interesting story. :p Posted via Mobile Device

I have no idea what his lines are. I rode one of his get a few years ago and he stood a little over 15 hands at 3 and was, in general, a very nice colt. No "snort and blow" as they say LOL...well, no more than any other green horse.
I know that Kathryn loves this stallion because of his wonderful temperament and has done CTRs and Endurance races with him for years.
Okay so I am guessing them being bred tall and so away from their original stature doesn't affect them in a negative way? Like soundness or other issues? Lol mine is almost 16 years old and still snorts. They're silly. Lol. Posted via Mobile Device
This isn't really a dumb ad, but in one of the ad pictures (the one I attached) the rear cinch is dangerously loose. Like accident waiting to happen loose. What is he were to kick at a fly on him stomach?
Ugh, I can't get on Craigslist for some unknown reason, now I can't find dumb ads on there
