HN Classifieds: Horse wanted

I saw this exact ad posted on the Knoxville, TN CL exactly a month ago (literally, September 8th), only the poster described themselves as a young woman. Haha… Has to be a CL troll getting their lols.
I would like one of those horses for $700.00
My guess is, it is not happening…
Yes, when you find one for $700, let me know:)
Yes, please, let me know where you can find one like that for $700:)
So.. emailed her/him to tell her/him that those things cost money. This was the reply:
Wow you must be really bored to take the time to email someone of craigslist my advice to you is get a life. And by the way i once bought a horse for $100 and after 3 years of training and a diet of strategy,
grass, mineral blocks, and worm medicine every three months. I started taking him to shows were he won blue ribbons in showmanship at halter and
western showmanship and after about five to six shows I had someone offer to buy him for $2500 I went on to show him for another year and win lots
more ribbons then I sold him for $5000 but to do this you’ve got to really no how to tell a good horse when you see one and be able to train it once you get it sorry if you can’t do that. Please if you email me again I will
report you to craigslist
Thinking of writing again to see if John Lyons (who this person OBVIOUSLY thinks they are) will teach ME how to be a world-class trainer like that.
Ummm.. yeah…. camelot1983@wingnet.net is the fun person
