From Courtney: “I’m trying to complete a legitimate search for a client, and I come across this ad… Anyone in need of a safe palimno pony gelden? If your kid can get the saddle up there, it can be ridden. Facepalm.”

This is a 9yr old , palimno gelden that would make a good starter pony for a kid , he stands for brushing , and a kid can saddle him if they can get there saddle up there , he walks on a loose rein and won’t trot off with your kid unless they make him , he rides in the pasture or in the arena and will follow big horses (((I can’t text if you are interested in a broke kid pony call me at six six two 260-2026 , he is about 48 inches tall.

From Sarah: “So is it a stable blanket or a turnout blanket?”

From Rebecca:

From Muck Bucket: “CL post seemed normal enough… until it didn’t.”
