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.
Erm, BLM, while I appreciate a shot of both sides of the horse, that would probably be better accomplished by taking two seperate photos of said horse instead of just posting a mirror image of one side............:? https://www.blm.gov/adoptahorse/horse.php?horse_id=5636&mygalleryview=
Also, #5507 from Carson City
She's only a year old and her feet look like that? The BLM is supposed to take care of the horses, not give them slipper feet!
In defense of Steve Mantle: He gets many horses from the BLM. A BLM employee takes photos and put them online. And, not all BLM employees know diddly about horses. It not all the BLM does.
Once at the Mantle place, the horses start getting handled. That includes hoof care. Often it is the first time other than being shipped here and there.
The Mantle ranch one I just thought was amusing, with mirroring the pictures. And I'm glad he does what he does! Makes them worth more all around to get some handling!
MUST DEPART WITH MY STALLION. MOVING OUT OF STATE AND I REFUSE TO TRAVEL A HORSE AS FAR AS I AM GOING. HE IS A STALLION SO HE DOES SHOW THAT SIDE OF HIM AT TIMES. I HAVE VOICE TRAINED HIM HE CAN GO LEFT, RIGHT, SIDE, BACK AND FRONT AS WELL HAVE HIM STAND ON HIS HIND LEGS THEN TAKE OFF! HE IS VERY SMART AND A VERY BIG BABY. HE HAS NEVER MADE AN ATTEMPT TO BITE. MY GRANDKIDS WILL FEED HIM OUT OF THEIR HANDS. HATE TO SEE HIM GO!
I've always wanted a horse that will stand up on its hind legs and then take off. >_< And yes, that was posted all in capital letters on the Craigslist ad.
OK, the general idea of the ad itself is not stupid... bar the horrific spelling and lack of punctuation. I'm just slightly worried about the horse killing itself with the way it is tied.
Also, I'm not confo expert but is that pony's back and neck insanely long compared to the rest of it??
I think it's just the perspective that gives the optical illusion of being really long... not saying the horse doesn't have a long back, but I think it looks longer than it actually is. And that last picture with him tethered is a total FAIL.
It is a very common practice, to tether horses out like that, in England and Ireland. This especially among some Gypsies, who often graze their horses on roadsides or even the land of others. Never seen one with that kind of string, but have seen tons with neck collars on and long lines to a stake.
In the '70's, I knew an Arabian Horse breeder in the US, who also used to stake his horses out in a similar fashion. I never liked the practice and wouldn't dare use it on one of my horses, but the Arabian breeder's horses, never seemed to get into trouble.
It is common in Dublin, in the rougher areas of Ballymun, Finglas, Tallaght and Mullhuddart ... where the horses are "jockeyd" by young lads in tracksuits and sneakers - no saddle and they just gallop around the fields. There was an irish program made several years ago called "Diarmud's pony kids" which took 5 of these kids and gave them proper lessons and equipment.
Horses are tethered like that all the time here in NZ, you will be driving along the main highway and see peoples little bush ponies tethered on the big grass verges that back onto forest, especially when there is no grass around on their actual property (like now). My miniature gets tethered all the time (mind you, she has an actual halter on and is always in a place she can be seen) because she can't be on grass 24/7 like my big guys (she foundered just after we rescued her) and I can't paddock her for an hour a day because she is like houdini, fences won't hold all 37" of her :lol:
Tethering doesn't bother me so long as the horse is able to be seen where it is tethered and isn't stressed out over it
Gah. There trying to sell this mustang mare who's in her 20s and is swaybacked and had sledded hooves. She seems nice and tolerant but look at the videos of her! I feel so bad!
Sounds awful. I wasn't able to get the links, so didn't see it.
I thought I should just mention that I don't think we're supposed to put FB stuff on HF. I'm not sure exactly why, but have seen that it is a rule, so I thought I should let you know, just for future reference! Absolutely NO "tattle-tale" attitude attached to this post, so please don't misunderstand...(it's one of those things I'd usually completely miss in "the rules" and like, get banned from a place-not that you'd get BANNED from HF for this post...Arghhh, you get my point, I'm hoping!), so I always prefer someone tell me stuff like this! :0)
What I find interesting about that paint stud is being "palomino".... The second image has his pedigree and their colors. None of the horses on the sire's side has any dilutes, the blacks all trace back to chestnuts and bays. On the dam's side (she is listed as dun), there is a line of duns and all others are non-dilute sorrels.
And the second ad, who doesn't want a: "Gorgeous Dappled Taupe w/ Smoky dusted overtone, linedbacked Dun w/ black points and a beautiful mask and high black stockings."... They are unique need a long discription that the pictures didn't show :lol:

Mini colt 6 months old
I am thinking of selling my gorgeous little colt he is great to do anything with already. He is so much like a big dog. I have even put saddle on him and he great I put my 2 yr olds on him and he not fussed but relunctant to move. He is not even near my hip in size I would say the height of a rotweiller. I am only selling due to not much time on my hands he must go to a much loved home. He was born end august his mum is white mini his dad brown shetland x He has recently been weaned it been about a week. mini colt 6 months old | Horses & Ponies | Gumtree Australia Waratah Area - Yolla

Hi I have a free Horse. It is a stud. I don't need it. Just come get it ASAP. It was given to me and I don't want it. It eats way to much. You can reach me at 817-696-3439. Thanks
he is so THIN...if this person has had him since he was 6 months old he should have some meat on him unless he is still only getting what a 6 month old does for feed. That is infuriating.
reminds me of this one
