HN Classifieds: ‘Young Chestnut Gelding – $250′
This ad says the horse “loves food” and “permits slight touching now while eating.” Is that so? Maybe you should try FEEDING HIM MORE OFTEN.

This young chestnut gelding is growing and growing and growing right now. The horse permits slight touching now while eating or should I say getting its sweet morsels. The chestnut seems to be a groupee and loves food. COGGINS done in April. Great looking color for the coat. Your young horse is waiting for you. The Appaloosa is also available for $450. My rodeo trainer who is on vacation for one more month wants to train both of these horses for training horses for rodeo events in one more year. Two year old filly also available. Not pictured (Only back half). $900. Call NOW @ 206-225-8454 or 479-471-1895.

Oh, jeez! They’re ALL skin and bones! The area code in the contact number is around Seattle, I wonder where. Those horses need more food!
Are they skinny enough to be considered abused?
I would say so. You can see almost all of their ribs. That’s not OTTB slim, that’s abuse.
A steady diet of good hay and a small amount grain should get them back on track. This person does not deserve to own horses.
