Another classic example

I absolutely detest people like this. I know this woman, it is Julie*, posted previously in the post about Homebrand. Homebrand was her first horse, she gave him to me even before she had him a week because she couldn't handle him, so she went a brought a six year old thoroughbred. Logic escapes me. From a 12 year old thoroughbred she couldn't handle, to a six year old. Do some people never learn? Ok, so take a look at her ad:

"Lovley 6yr TB Quite.
tb gelding 6yrs onld and 16h if your after a quite horse that if you want to go will but if you just want to plod along will do that to this is your man he is very loving will let you hug his hole face will but his head in your lap will even follow you around of the lead and the best part he is quite to ride this is your man he is a lovley looking to he has 2 trots a fast and a slow and you can sit to both he has a lovley canter that you could sit to for days. he has been ridin by kids and adults and all that ride him love him he is friendly with other horses. he does not kick rear buck or bite. he is very easy to catch worm float you can do nearly anything with him he would make a nick pony club or dressage horse. he can not do sporting because in one eye he has only 95% -90% of vision and has been checked by a vet and also he raced with this eye so he can still see and it does not bother him at all and also it does not affect him vet check welcome. he has been around cats dogs little kids cars chickens and also a colt and he is fine he has a very soft mouth he can jump but ive never jumped him high also has been ridin on roads but only quite ones. he would suit anyone he is being sold due to i do not have the money to keep him any more i will only sell him to a good home no payment plans avalible as i dont have the money to keep him. also he comes with 2 rugs. and a bridle that is worth $210 he is worth every cent i just want what i paid back photos coming soon. $1500"

4 hours before this ad was posted, she post the same ad, but with him priced for $2500. She paid $700 for him. My brain hurts when I have to deal with people like her. Would you honestly buy a horse advertised like this? I wouldn't. I also know that the horse is BLIND in the eye, it has no vision. I have handled him and he is lovely but he's not quiet, he's a hot baby that needs a routine and proper handling. He would make a great riding horse, pleasure or hack but not a jumper or sporter because of his eye. Come on Julie, we all know he's not worth $1500. Wake up to yourself and stop with the false advertising!
