How to Not Sell Your Horse


1. Make sure to have the papers, but definately don't register.

2. Breed a cross, especially to a moderate qualilty stallion or mare.

3. Absolutely don't put a picture.

4. Make sure your horse is green and 'needs miles'.

5. Ensure your horse is for an 'intermediate' rider or more.

6. If it is a gaited horse, make sure it doesn't gait, if it is a WTC (walk/trot/canter) horse make sure it needs some work on picking up leads.

7. Please don't spell check, use proper grammer and MAKE sure you sound as uneducated as possible.

8. Never, ever put the bloodlines of your horse in the ad.

9. Provide descriptions 'Doesn't bite, kick, rear and loads, bathes, good for feet' as your description of the horses ground manners

and finally,

10. Under no circumstances should you ever put time, effort, energy or training into the horse AND make sure to charge more than well trained purebred horses with good bloodlines, impecciable manners who have excellent conformation and proper gaits.

This looks like a great list to me. Of course, I think more than half of my horses fit this list but then that's what happens when you're a breeder, most of them are too young to ride.

Do we ever get to hear the story behind this blog entry?

I am not a fan of selling horses. I get SO tired of how everyone wants to seem to trade (does no one have cash?). Maybe that is just a QH thing though...
