    He is pretty cute isn't he? Those nails in the shoes are the stuff of nightmares, however. Poor thing.

    It's a local thing. Around here, it doesn't matter what you price anything, you can list a brand new Mercedes, $5, and every single person to come look will tell you that they see a chip in the paint and their granny had one that leaked oil and all they have is 4 bucks on them. And if you say too fast that you'd take the 4 bucks, they'll backpedal quick and say they only meant $3.
    So people say that they wanted more, but are already giving you a bargain, so don't bother asking for a better one.

    Little guy looks like he'd be a nice horse if he was fattened up some.

    I try not to look on my local CL. Way too many deadbroke, kidsafe, 14.5 3 year olds. It gives me a twitch and a migraine. I feel the worst for the ponies and minis. The smaller they are, the harder they start them. Pictures of weanlings with their little bottle brush baby tails with little saddles and sometimes tiny kids on them. Just because a weanling pony doesn't have the strength to fight you, doesn't make him "deadbroke" just crippled up at an early age

    I hope he gets a decent upgrade; I think he'd be a cute fella if given more groceries and better care.

    I do hope he gets a good home. He looks like he'd be cute in the right hands.

    I might pause and take a big gulp of my water bottle - and I like to be on a horse who won't cause it to come shooting out my nose, or down the front of my shirt.
    Just sayin'.
    shoot, I can't even manage to not spill my drink down my shirt just sitting on the couch these days Maybe this horse could help me out with that!

    Cute guy! I have a saddlebred/ Paso Fino mix, but he looks like a saddlebred, big and lean. He's completely blind now, still ride him, but boy I don't spill my drink when I ride him! Diet coke thank you. (BTW-- I didn't breed him, just bought him.)

    Here's my boy:

    Not bad enough? How about a 300 pound man doing this on a long yearling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5NJZ...eature=related

    That's it, BY - Andadura. Was thinking of telling people to look for it on you tube. Idiots. Gotta be great for the hooves . . . . . .

    I see that he's parked in a handicapped parking space. I don't see a hang tag, either. Geez. If you're going to park your paso fina with its exceptional hair, you at least ought to do it legally.

    Also, I hope this guy gets a nice, soft landing.

    For the life of me I can't understand why they don't do andadura on grass, sand or even dirt. Plenty of all of that in PR. Not perfect either but it's got to be better than asphalt.

    Forget the hooves, those might be salvageable. It's the joint damage that freaks me out.

    Anyway, is anyone close enough to help the Texarkana cutie? I'm going to cross-post this to the endurance and trail-ride forum...

    Me thinks he was parked in the parking lot because his rider just got hauled in for DUI.

    The folks doing this in my neck of the woods aren't rednecks. It's a ghetto thing. There's one dude in particular, who rides a dark colored horse with a dark colored saddle in dark clothes right down the middle of a rather busy rural highway right at dusk. I've nearly hit him at least twice. The only thing visible is his undies, since he's sagging. There's another dude that rides this poor little horse all over the 'hood. Just a pounding down the pavement.

    Our fair parade would make most of you crazy. They turn out in droves for it. They start riding the horses to town early in the morning for the parade. There is an abundance of crappy stallions because only real men ride stallions don't you know. Oh, and you get bonus points if you can crank his mouth to the point where he rears.

    For the poster who wanted to know if anyone was close, I'm close if anyone is interested.

    He is a cutie. My husband has even expressed interest in having a gaited horse. He claims my Arabian is bouncy. Alas, the husband horse fund is being used to fix the ac.

    I like his color and love long manes and tails.
