Bendy horse for sale!!!

I am still finding peculiar ads whilst searching for a horse - all I want is a pretty one an old lady can get on from the ground who won't try to kill me too often; how hard can that be?

Today's intriguing ad states "...strong and athletic, flexible through the spine..." WTFFFFF? Of course there are so many horses for sale who are rigid through the spine that it must be worth pointing this out. Also I wonder if this is "horse ad speak" for BUCKS LIKE BU@@ERY???

Inaccurate horse ad du jour

I have just seen quite a pretty, but not spectacularly bred little horse, within my price range, not a baby or geriactric, and advertised as "ideal first horse". I am not looking for a first horse, but I do need to downhorse as I am old and decrepit and and consequently do not have the physicality to get flung around by a big warmblood. - therefore I phoned to enquire, my little hands trembling with anticipation as I clutched the mobile and asked my questions. In the course of the conversation I discovered the following. The horse for sale (who is rising 10):-

• Is of uncertain parentage
• Does not hack alone
• Needs sedation to be clipped and shod
• Does not jump
• Is not easy to load
• Flatwork is green - doesn't go on the bit
• Has no show or competition experience
• Has hunted - but has no brakes so current owner wouldn't recommend it.

So, basically this mare could be best described as a waste of grass - and could be all mine for just over £4000.00. I give up.
