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.

1997 bay mear have pappers not reg. 15hh spirited, her skills are she pulls cart, games, barrel races, pole bends, hunter jumping won second, trail rides. She will go throgh water, over bridges or most any thing. She bathes, leads, loads, trailers, good in the stall. She will not buck, kick or bite. She loves chasing cows, and moves off your legs good ,terns grate, would do good at dressage. This little mear is a worker and is always looking fr a job when you get on, when you giv her a job she gets it down aloght faster then most. Becuase she is a worker shes not the best trail horse but shes grate when your in the mountins, or when theres an obstical in front of her. Call ********** asking $5000. Or best offer

So much bad spelling... and obviously if a horse chases cows, moves off your leg, and "terns grate" that they would do good at dressage?!? Where is that logic?
Makes me think that this horse is either
1) a wonder-horse
or
2) a jack of all trades, master of none
More than likely, number two.

Not to mention that one of the listed "skills" is trails, and then states that she isn't a good trail horse unless you are in the mountains or having to jump over things.

And I have very little experience in jumping, but it seems to me that the "morgen maer" may not have cleared the jump in the top right picture...

The poles of the jump almost clash with the lines of the wall. I think she looks pretty good jumping, nice clean tuck and back legs look like they took off evenly, and she cleared the jump with a good bit to spare. Cute mare but not worth 5k in this area.

edit: You said top right picture.. It's reformatted on here so they're all in a straight line. It does look like she didn't clear (or barely cleared) the jump in that second picture...

SunnyDraco: those people dont know how to spell! wow! That is bad haha. If shes only a good trail horse when theres something to jump, then shes not a good trail horse :D. everytime they try to say "mare", they spell it mear, so we know its not an innocent typo. and whats a morgen? haha. ( i know its morgan). thats ridiculous. If you want to sell a horse for $5000, at least spell like the horse is worth that much

Is it just me, or should the word preceding "prospect" in a horse ad be a word that describes what that horse is a prospect TO BECOME? Like a dressage prospect, trail prospect, etc.? It drives me NUTS when I see ads that say things like "gelding prospect" (unless it's currently a crappy stud, I suppose), "Quarter Horse prospect" or "dappled grey prospect." No specific examples now, but I see examples of this particular word and it seems to be a case of "That word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Mostly confused by what a "Peaball" is, or is that the gelding's name? I am really wondering... I am also confused about the complete lack of commas and periods to seperate one word from the other.

And this next one, "supposed to be broke to ride"? Excuse me, but what is THAT supposed to mean? As if I want to put a kid on a mini stallion and find out myself? Hahaha

Cute Mini stallion


Not a "dumb" horse ad, but perhaps an actual RARE, realistic horse wanted ad?

babysitter pony wanted


How can anyone think an old injury gets "better with riding"? Did the vet tell her this, a know-it-all-but-really-doesn't-person, or was this something the last owner told her?

She is good for light riding only as she has an old injury which gets better with riding, I was told.

Please e-mail for pics and details...

Ack!!! something bad seemed to have happened with that last post, some how the mini stallion that is "supposed to be broke to ride", jumped into the beginning of the mini donkey ad!!!

Sorry to everyone, I have NO IDEA how that happened, it wasn't like that when I went to submit it! EEEEEK!
 
#1,962 ·
SunnyDraco, in regards to that mini stud that is "supposed to be broke to ride." They probably don't have anyone small enough to ride him to see if he really is broke, but were told he was broke to ride by the previous owner.

For some reason, that's not an uncommon occurance in mexican households, especially when they imagine themselves vaqueros. I saw a video somewhere of a guy leading around what was basically a toddler in a full saddle on a colt about 8 or 9 months old that had been "trained" to "dance". It was downright heartbreaking to watch the vid.
 
#1,968 ·
I really feel sorry for that poor foal. The second video they have of it is even worse, it is a large enough kid riding that can actually reach the stirrups.

I don't even like to think what the long terms effects of that kind of work are going to cause. Growing baby, stressed, over exerted, carrying weight for who knows how long. Bone problems, joint problems, back problems, the list goes on and on.

The cow is fine - she is a little thin, but I have a lot of friends the run dairies - and their cows are always skinny looking to me. We raised beef cattle though, and liked them to be fluffy.

We bought a jersey cow from a dairy friend. She was skinny when we got her, but didn't stay that way. Her milk production dropped off some, and the dairyman said it was because we were feeding her like a beef cow, and not like a dairy cow. We didn't care - we got more than enough milk anyway.

that is so crazy. I just cant stand for an animal to be underweight, but I guess if it is normal for them it is ok. I guess they sell the milk so they want as much as possible. I dont like organic straight from the cow milk. Tastes funky :p. I like beef cattle. I heard theyre smarter. and they make nice burgers haha. i have always wanted a brahma cow. just for a pet. i think theyre cute. :)
