Better Than Green Broke! Get me on That!

From Bad Ways To Sell Your Horse

Well put together mare. Started right. A little thin but sound. Would make a great barrel horse or H/J. No buck, gentle, loads. Chestnut coloration. The pic attached is older, but you can check her out.

There are soooo many things wrong with this horse, I don't know where to start, but I think I'll tackle this sentence-by-sentence.

Starting with the title: "4 YO Mare Apx 16 Hands Better Than Green Broke" So look at that picture. We've got another boat horse here. And then think about the fact that she's 16hh. How boat-y would she look in real life? Well, we could probably jump her at the Olympics.

"Well put together mare." NO! WRONG!! Like I already said, look at her back! But after you do that, look at her hind legs. That is what we call camping-out, my friend. Her shoulder is too straight, she's downhill, and those legs! Everything on them is too long!

"Started right." Of course you think she was started right. You started her!

"A little thin but sound. ... The pic attached is older, but you can check her out." I wonder just how thin this poor little mare is. Like, one day in the middle of the summer the owner decided, "Hey, they're doing fine on the grass! I don't need to spend all that money on feed!" And then winter came and he's now wondering why all of his horses lost so much weight...

"Would make a great barrel horse or H/J." Yeah, she's tall so she would be good at doing tall-horse things. Or we could just breed her.

"No buck, gentle, loads. Chestnut coloration." What you're not getting here is "no stand, no water, no clippers, no brushes, no..." And why can't we just say "Chestnut?"
