Best of Craigslist, Volume 43

Can you believe our ‘Best of Craigslist’ series has seen forty-three installments? Neither can we.

Love it or hate it, Craigslist is clearly here to stay — and as long as there is Craigslist, there will be plenty of ads that leave you scratching your head, laughing out loud or maybe even picking up the phone to schedule a time to come buy an equine that pulled at your heartstrings. Here’s to hope!

We’ll kick things off with a couple of ads that are getting a little sideways (coincidentally, they’re both “registrard” horses as well!) Both are submitted by Christina: “You can rotate images, you know … ”

To their credit, they’re not bad-looking horses if you turn your head. We also agree that this guy is a total stunner — although we do have to laugh with Christina here as well: “I’m assuming it’s an older photo of this gelding as a young’un, but it still kind of cracked me up a little!”

14 year old Beautiful Registered (1/2) Friesian Sport Horse Gelding. Stands around 15.2hh. Not for beginners, just his presents scares most beginners and I do not want him ruined by one either. UTD on hoof care and shots. Teeth done and Vet check last month. This one can take you to the winners circle. Very flashy Dominate White 1/2 Friesian (reg.) 1/2 American White (Morgan) he has feathers too. And blue eyes. Very in your pocket, great ground manners, bathes and fly spray. Nice hard hoofs, Loads and hauls good. He has been shown, trained to pull a cart at age 3. Used for CMO’s Last year. Shown in 4-h, Trained in Dressage some years back. I am now using him for Cowboy Dressage He is awesome, sweet and willing to please, with just the right amount of Flash 🙂 He rides bitless or with a bit. English, or western. I will not sell him to just anyone. He needs the right person. E-mail (calls are better as e-mails do not always make it through) or call 509 six 90 eight 457 I have lots of pictures on line. This horse is AWESOME! He has been trained with Natural Horseman methods. He does know his ground work and is a good willing boy. $6000.00 and a good home is a must. May consider trade for motorcycle, classic car, hunting equipment, gold, ?? I will not trade for another horse unless it is an awesome kick butt gaited and reg. trained gelding. And my boy is all that and more. (because of my back, hip and age I had to go gaited and this is the only reason he is for sale…Buy back contract required, home inspection required. This is a really special boy. Don’t miss out!

If this one ISN’T a scam, we’re shocked. Submitted by Donna:

Wonderful quarter horse 8 years old, well trained, not by me. She is an amazing horse. 2 differrent farriers say so.

Yikes … we know ponies have the strength of a hundred men when necessary, but is riding this little guy really necessary? From Kendra:

We’ll wrap things up with this total head-scratcher. We have so many questions: where was this zebra acquired? Is it really necessary to keep it a stud? WHY? From Jill:
