Best of Craigslist: ‘Registrated gelding – $700 (Deland)’

Registrated?!? PLUS: Ads for the scariest horse trainer ever and two suspicious-looking dressage horses.

Many thanks to Morgane Schmidt for sending this one our way.

Registrated gelding – $700 (Deland)

I have a 3 year old sorrel tobiano registrated gelding that is green broke. He is smart and willing to learn. He gets along well with other horses. He is now ready to train your way. Call Steve 1-352-617-9269 If I do not answer leave a message I will call you back.

But wait, there’s more! Jeannie Baggett sent us this one with the note, “I found this ad disturbing on several levels…who would hire this guy for any of his ‘services’ I don’t really want to know the answer to that question. I feel very sorry for the horses.”

And this one from Jeannine Cerny, who writes, “Here is a Craigslist ad I found while browsing. I hate to sound like a snob, but I can’t help but think this guy doesn’t look like a ‘dressage’ person. My first thought was, ‘these horses are stolen.’ I don’t know if it was the long manes, rope halters, Clinton Anderson references, barrels in the background or just, well, that guy sitting on that horse. The horses look quite nice actually, maybe if you post this someone will find a bargain (or be pressing charges).”
