3. What breeding

Sorreee!!!! Was thinking of the yearling we have for sale! LOL!
I will send pix when I have got my hubby to take some next week. He’s a really great horse! He hasn't been shod in a while the shoer hates him, hahaha, but I can get him done if you want him?

Are you still interested in this horse? I am taking him to someone to try this week. He has bad thrush so he can’t be turned out and sore heels – don’t know why. Also he eats 13.5 scoops of pellets per day - he is very big. He is a lazy jumper and knocks 2’ jumps – he does dressage. Please let me know – I am VERY motivated to sell!! My hubby says it’s him or the horses! LOL!

go to hell.


Ok, now really, does this person want to sell this horse or not? I think I can safely assume english is this sellers first language, but she must have a severe learning disability. That or posts far too often on lolcats.

Thank you Xan of the UDBB for sharing her fruitless yet entertaining experience with us!
