Don't Think This One is GunBroke...

Take a look at this ad... because I can't quite figure out what to make of it. 


4 yr old Black Mare-green broke - $1000 (casa grande) I have a 4 year old mare. She is all black except a white star on her forehead and 2 white socks. She is green broke. I fell in love with her when i bought her and a whole lot of people said they would help me finish training her. They were all talk. I had her to where she was gentle and i could climba nd rub all over here. a week ago a frind was shot here at our house and my horse has regressed to bein scared and timid again. I love her to death but I cant have a horse that will hurt me our my kids because we don't know what were doing training wise. We just trimmed her feet she was good with that and she comes to you when you ask her too. She is haulter broke. She is bit and headstall broke (snaffle). She is also saddle broke. SHe needs someone who is strong enough to show her whos boss whithout beeting on her. she is great with my other mare. They don't fight. I just dont have the experience she needs. Its not fair to her she deserves someone who can work her and know what to do. I am asking $1000 obo lowest ill go is $500. SHe has a red rope haulter that can go with her. She loves to eat apples carrots and horse cookies.She eats hay only we tried her on pellets she went a week without eating because she wouldnt touch the pellets. She does load in a trailer as well. My daughter is going to miss her as much as i am but Two Socks deserves someone who can work with her. SERIOUS INQUIRES ONLY PLEASE I DON"T HAVE TIME FOR B.S. CASH ONLY 


As usual, if you can slug through the horrible spelling and bad 4th grade grammar (wait, actually my son will start 4th grade this fall, and he already writes better grammar than this...) did you catch the most important line in there?

 This is not a case of the person getting shot making the horse more scared. This is from the training that she's not getting - from the admission 'we don't know what were doing training wise.' 


Seriously though folks... advertising that someone got SHOT at your house does not make me real willing to STEP FOOT ON YOUR PROPERTY! Get a clue folks. Leave that crap out of it and just focus on the horse. Its not really that hard to do!


Of course we have the obligatory bad picture pasture shot that makes the head look 3 times bigger than the body of the horse...


I'm guessing she's either appendix qh or thoroughbred but either way with the right handling, she would most likely make somebody a really cute english horse! 


Though, lets hope that anyone gets her - changes her name from Two Socks!


(And completely off topic... but do you SEE the legs of that white horse in the background! Holy CowHocks!)

  1. That poor horse. If my barn weren't near a gun range (seriously - also near the AFB in Tucson... our horses are LITERALLY bomb proof; makes going to shows easier!) I'd consider going and picking her up!

  2. I agree about leaving the shooting out of the ad. Sounds more like the owners are the ones freaked out by the shooting incident than the horse. The horse is just reacting to their actions and behavior.

    One good thing I can say- it looks like the horses have plenty of shade! Kudos for that and the fact they realize they are in over their heads before anyone gets hurt. I hope the horse is upgraded soon.

  4. What the HELL.
    There needs to be a law regulating PEOPLE breeding. They actually have children who have no hope. Never mind the poor horses.
