How not to train a driving horse....

This is effing brilliant...it's a miracle that neither the horse nor the "trainers" got killed. *shakes head and walks away*

Barrel Racing Fails!

Things like this make me so glad I got out of speed events. I sincerely hope everyone involved was ok (though some of these people obviously had no business competing on barrel horses in the firsts place. Kudos to the lady at the very end....I'd have fallen long before she did!!!!

"Helloooooo in there!"

I hope this poor baby was ok after this...they sure can get themselves into some situations, can't they?

Stuck horse!

"Um, gee, mom, I seem to have found myself in a predicament...."

Sadly, I have had almost this same thing happen to me. Had a pony mare jump OUT of the feed door in the stall when I turned my back for 30 seconds. Funny in retrospect, scary at the time!!! 

Dirty Horse!! Only $7500

Gotta love this.

15 Hands, 1100 Pounds, This is a Jam up horse. Colonel Freckles lots of good names on his papers. He is really calm And Quiet in the box . He is a pleasure to own. He wiil put you right on the steer everytime. He Rates awsome. He has won 2 number 11 ropings. But I think and advance Beginner can rope on him. He has also had kids ride him. He will ride with a Lead rope, He neck Reigns Great. BIG BIG STOP...... He will not hurt u. He is the kind of horse you won't ever sell. The Family can enjoy him. Or a person can just go have a good time roping on him. (972-822-5999) He is dirty in these pictures. I didn't want to wash him and take a chance on getting him sick. What looks like a stain is just dirt. He does clean up really nice.


Seriously? You're trying to sell a horse for that kind of money, in this market and you can't even get a photo of him squared up and not looking filthy?  Even if it IS too cold for a bath (mind you, it's been in the upper 50s and lower 60s all week, plenty warm enough for at least a spot bath), you should be able to do better than this with just some spot remover. If this was a $1200 horse, I wouldn't be so harsh. However, this is a pretty expensive horse for the current market.

Sadly, this MIGHT actually be a nice rope horse with some better photography and an ad written by someone who can spell and sound half way intelligent.
