Since CW is lame and on rest, I decided to do some online shopping for ponies. Yes, I am pony shopping theoretically for my own amusement. I'm not really in the market for a horse at all, but I like to window shop and day dream. I also like to read through and try to think what the owners are REALLY saying. It's an amusing way to make the first few hours of my day go by.
My first ad is a CL special.
"Maverick" is our beautiful bay colt, he was imprinted at birth and Has
had extensive ground work and desensitization training. He can back,
turn on his front/hind in, trot on lead, stop with leader, ect. He is a
barn favorite and has personality to boot. His dam is a buckskin AQHA
reining horse "sheza black holly", her line is known for being very
cowy, athletic, and great tempered. His sire is a sorrel quarter horse
that we are currently working on getting registered, he tracked cows out
in the pasture by himself and had a gentle temperament that his line is
known for. Mav is a very balanced colt with straight strong legs, broad
chest, Big hip and butt, and eye catching color. He is a prospect for
reining, cow events, speed events, eventing, ect. He is an all around
colt that shows great potential for the show ring. He would make a great
4h project! Mare is on sight for viewing and we have pictures of sire.
What it really says:
Our stallion jumped the fence and got to one of our mares. He can't be registered, but we will call him a Quarter Horse for now. He has been spoiled since he hit the ground, and he constantly thinks you have something for him. May or may not bite. He is very, very bay and will be bay for a long time. We don't have time for him and kind of don't want a spoiled horse on our hands, but he would be a great project for your kids! Baby horses are cute right?
Stunning Hunter/Jumper prospect. 7 year old, Thb. gelding, 17h,
currently jumping 2'9"-3ft with ease. He has beautiful form over fences
so he's currently being trained for the hunters but has the scope &
power to go jumper. Tons of chrome (blaze with 3 white socks) will get
you noticed in the ring! No health issues, up to date on everything
& has always had the best of care. Jockey Club papers in hand.
Asking 10k Please feel free to call!! Video's available upon request.
What it really says:
Snorty, Spooky, Jumper Prospect. He jumps huge over everything, because he thinks it might eat him. CAN NOT TOUCH WHAT MIGHT EAT ME! He is really pretty. He especially looks pretty when he is going up to a spooky fence. May or may not snort a lot. You might think he is an Arab, but I have papers to prove he is not.
Okay, I kind of love this horse... If I had 10k I would buy it.
Georgias Musiccat, 2006 Thoroughbred Mare 15.1-15.2hh
By Assault Cat X Georgias Music x Roxbury Park
Granddaughter of Storm Cat
**current wound in the right side of her neck. Just needs a little time
to finish healing. hence the reason for the price drop.***
Georgia is an energy packed mare that needs a job. When ridden regularly
(3x a week) she makes a nice interim.+ horse and lesson horse. When
not ridden and left to sit she can become a handful under saddle and
have the drive to go!
She would best be suited as a barrel horse though with the right rider
and trainer a nice EVENTING mount. She has only trotted the pattern 3-4
times a few months ago and has not been finished in any one direction.
Im offering her for sale to an experienced rider ( must be able to
walk/trot/ canter and be a confident rider). She would also make a nice
boodmare for someones herd!
She is currently listed at at $1000.00 Buy her and train her to turn and
burn a barrel pattern or to fly through the cross country course!
What it really says:
This horse likes to run. Jesus she loves to go fast. We usually can't stop her, so we keep running. We have to run her a lot to make her rideable. DON'T LET HER SIT IF YOU VALUE BREAKS. She doesn't usually have breaks. I think she would be great as a barrel horse or eventer, because all the do is run and she loves that. She even injured herself running, so we are dropping her price. Come if you dare and bring a HUGE bit!
Have a sense of humor people. :)
