[ChocoMare]

[HandsomeBayFarm]

OMG! I cant see straight I am laughing so hard...!!!!!:lol:

[HuntJumpSC]

OMG!!! Now that is Southern ingenuity hard at work! Give them boys an RC and a Moon Pie! :lol:

[wingedmare]

Hey now; don't laugh at them thar eventer trainers!!!!

Ok, no ChocoMare; you MUST tell us WHAT they are advertising?
Is it the horse?
Is it the trainer?
Or is it the two guys willing to be jump standards??

I MUST KNOW!!

[ChocoMare]

The horse:

I have a dead broke trail horse, she is a quarter horse, 11 years old, about 15.3hh. she also does a lil jumping. She stands good for farrier, clips great, loads great, she absolutly loves water. Anybody can ride her.

"Lil" is the key word here :D :lol:

[MistyBlue]

Trying to figure out what the laundry basket is for, spare parts?...:winkgrin:

[trubandloki]

Naw MB, it is for tossing all the bloodied rags in after someone crashes. That way you can easily carry them to the wash so they can be cleaned for the next time, when uncle cousin brother Jimmy Joe sits in the middle of the jump while you are going over it.

[twofatponies]

Ladders make great stretchers for carrying the wounded away! LOL

I just think the guys holding it are the funny part.

Quarter horse, in this context, means she isn't gaited. No more, no less.

Jumped a lot of "hillbilly" jumps as a kid. Would never put the results in an ad - no pictures of them exist on purpose ;)

I am not sure which is more frightening the choice of jump or the manner in which the horse jumps it! :eek::eek::eek: Hard to hang both legs, but by golly she is doing it! :eek::eek:

[TwoDreamRides]

Been there, jumped that. LoL.

Except we didn't have male jump cups. We used a wooden fold-out ladder, so it became kind of a "corner" jump to eventers, and a messed up oxer for hunters/jumpers and propped itself up at the same time.

The laundry basket just screams "And for her next trick..."

[imapepper]

Well....when I went to try current mare....it was at a dealer's place who mostly sold roping and barrel horses. He had nothing for me to jumps. So I asked him it he had anything and he pulled out a roll of chicken wire and a couple of hay bales. Mare jumped it (in good form I might add ;) ) and I bought her :lol:

I might not buy the mare in the ad, but if I had some work to do....I might rent the jump cups. They look like they might do anything you told them to do....now that's good help....not smart... but good :winkgrin:

[PONY751]

Anyone catch the hose running in front of the "fence"? Is that supposed to be a ground pole? Boy rednecks sure are creative!

If they raise it up high enough, maybe they could start the horsie limbo...

[Guin]

At least no one can accuse them of starving the pony. She looks positively chubby!

[Frank B]

We've used sections of PVC drain pipe on concrete blocks...

[LisaW-B]

When I was around 10 years old, I wasn't "allowed" to jump with my pony, who lived in our backyard, so what I did was make (redneck-in-training) jumps out of a pile of bricks, lumber and chicken wire that my dad had behind our barn. I'd put everything back each time I was done jumping. But, when my mother looked out the kitchen window, all she saw was me trotting or cantering around in a circle, around the barn. She never saw what happened behind the barn. :D We never got hurt, but I often think my parents would have been much better off allowing me to take supervised jumping lessons!

I am STILL laughing over this!

[wingedmare]

Hey they will put ANYTHING on Craigs list!!!

[lesson junkie]

We were very creative with tires-you can lay them on the side and stack them like dominos, or stack them on top of each other for standards, or hang them on a pole for the jump element. On our outside course, we had tractor tires dominoed-three tires high, and it looked huge! 50 gallon drums can be very useful, too. They wouldn't let me put chickens in the chicken coop...

And, if you have a little duct tape and lots of baling twine, you can fix anything, at least for a little while!

Heck add some blue tarp to that and you can build a house ;)

[HuntJumpSC]

Is it just me, or upon closer inspection of the hose "ground line"~ is the hose on??? :lol: Redneck water jump?

Don't forget! "she absolutly loves water" :lol:

[Amwrider]

Wow, look at the wear pattern on the ground, she seems to jump that jump a lot.

OK, poly-resin Shamus for the Sea world water jump and poly-resin beer bottles for the Budweiser jump at the American Invitational here in Tampa. I think we need poly-resin Bubba and Cletus on buckets with a ladder jump - maybe sponsored by Nascar or Home Depot?

I'm picturing a couple of Tony Stewarts sitting on buckets, holding a ladder, with Miller Lite cans as a ground line....

As said cans empty, they could sit them on the ladder making the jump higher. Increasing difficulty.

[Pony Person]

That horse looks like a total saint to be putting up with those people.:lol:

[Catalina]

I am guilty of jumping ladders, PVC on concrete blocks, bushes, etc. Mr Catalina and his dad finally built me some real jump standards and rails after he got sick of seeing me canter across the front lawn to jump the bushes :lol:.
