Yet another annoying sale ad.

HORSE NAME: CREAM BLAZE BREED: QUARTER HORSE (REG) COLOR: PALOMINO GENDER: GELDING THIS HORSE IS A BEAUTIFULL LIGHT COLORED PALOMINO,HE IS AN ATHLETE BUIL FOR SPEED,WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT BARREL PROSPECT OR ROPE HORSE.HE TURN AND STOP GREAT ,HE HAS DASH FOR CASH AND EASY JET ON HIS PAPER.HE ALSO GREAT ON TRAILS HE HAS PAST OUR TEST NOT FOR A BEGINNER RIDER,NEED SOMEONE WITH SOME EXPERIENCE. HE IS NOT A BAD HORSE JUST VERY QUICK. ASKING PRICE: $1800

As if they think no one can read the details they filled out on Equinehits. And the caps lock. And the bear-like man sitting on the horse like a rank beginner. I hope that's not his usual riding position. Their website is... well, obnoxious.


Nothing like showing off a sales horse by standing up on his back while he's in the pasture with at least one other loose horse. All I think about when I look at pictures like this is how much of a moron the seller is. Not how patient or quiet the horse is.

You know how people like that try to tell you that vaulters do the same thing and nobody bashes them for standing on horses' backs? That's a bunch of bullpoop because there are several differences between vaulters and backyard nincompoops who think it's kewl to stand on horse's backs.

Number one, vaulting horses are massive. Usually some kind of draft or draft cross.

Two, they have a vaulting pad to cushion their backs.

And three, vaulters are stick-skinny. They're light as a feather compared to the above individual who looks suspiciously like a steroid-loving beefhead. That and the fact that said beefhead is being an ass and standing right on the poor horse's kidneys. These guys would be classified as dickweeds. Definitely.
