This message is from: Curtis Pierce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This arrived in my mailbox today. I thought that you all might find it interesting. Enjoy!
"BIG MOVER": Can't canter within a two-mile straightway "NICELY STARTED": Attended a "natural horsemanship clinic," but we don't have enough insurance to ride him yet, especially outside the round pen. "TOP COMPETITOR": Won a second place 5 years ago at a show with unusually low entries due to tornado warnings. "HOME BRED": Knows nothing despite being raised on the back porch. "BIG BONED": Good thing he has a mane and tail or he would be mistaken for a cow. "NO VICES": Especially when he wears his muzzle (and when he's in the round pen). "BOLD & SPIRITED": Runaway. "GOOD MOVER": Runaway. "NEEDS INTERMEDIATE RIDER": Runaway. "ATHLETIC": Runaway (but looks good doing it). "SHOULD MATURE 17 HANDS": Currently 15 hands; dam is 15.2, sire is 15.3, but will defy his DNA. "WELL MANNERED": Hasn't stepped on, run over, bitten, or kicked anyone since our twelve year-old neighbor, who we paid to ride him, quit. "RECENTLY VETTED": Someone else found something really wrong with him during soundness exam. "TO GOOD HOME ONLY": Not really for sale unless you can: 1) pay twice what he's worth; 2) are willing to sign a 10 page legal document of release; and 3) allow current owner to tuck in beddy-bye every night. "LIGHT CRIBBER": We can't afford to build any more fences and barns for this buzz saw. "EXCELLENT DISPOSITION": Never been out of the stall (or the round pen) and never had any pressure of any kind on him. "CLIPS, HAULS, LOADS": Clippity-clippity is the sound his hooves make as he "hauls" butt across the parking lot when you try to "load" him. I haven't found the ads to be this bad, but sometimes there is some exaggeration or future predictions involve with the sellers claims about their horse for sell. It is a buyer beware world!
