2014 HN Best of Craigslist Awards
2014 was a truly special year for horse sales on Craigslist.
We rummaged through the archives and singled out a few ads that exemplified and embodied the Craigslist spirit. And the winners are…
Best Sales Photo (Two-Way Tie)
From Valerie: “Nothing says ‘I gotta have this’ like a picture of the horse rearing up and in the process of flipping. Bonus point for not knowing what a palomino looks like.”
From Jen:
Most Overpriced
From Leah: “I love the questionable grammar, clearly accidental price, and incongruous photo. It’s the full package!”
Best Typo
From Ella:
Most Desperate
From Tiffany: “These people really need a stall :)”
Best Saddle Application
From Cory:
Best Halter Application
From Christy: “Found this gem on Facebook! They had it pulled down before I can read the 55 comments but I was able to get a screenshot. Even my husband couldn’t manage this.”
Best Breastcollar Application
From Susanna:
Best Horse Boarding Ad
From Ella:
Best Parenting
