Lynn sent us this one for a 14.4 hand horse:
Horse / Tack – $1200 (maple valley)
OBO – Registered Dun/Tobiano Gelding (17 YO) 14.4 hh ($1200.00) – Beau is a great horse, very smart with so much potential and tons of energy. He needs someone who has more time to spend with him. Trailers, solid feet, great on trails, gets along with ALL horses! My hope is to find him a good home where he will receive more attention. I also have tack: saddle, blanket, hackamore, etc. (make offer) or for both $1,400.

Buying Paint Horses, Medicine hats or bald faces. (Cheyenne)
Howdy, First off I want to explain that I am not a Killer buyer, let me repeat that I AM NOT A KILL BUYER.. I am just in the market for Medicine Hat Paints or Bald Face Paints- QHs. I prefer Mares but will accept a few geldings, They do not have to be registered, But atleat 14.2 Hands or taller. Must be Healthy as they will be used alot. Preferrably broke but not necessary. Must have a good mind, I dont need any crazy wild eyed horses. I dont mind spirited horses just no crazies. I wont pay for centimental value. If your horse means that much to you just keep it. I dont want to mean or nasty about this . I just want to be honest. I will pay fair market value. I know horses as I have had them my whole life and I do my own breaking and training. I know what most horses are worth. I offer alot of pasture, an Indoor arena and a barn full of Alfalfa Grass mix. as I said earlier they will be used almost daily so soundness is a must. If you think you have what I am looking for please send me a brief description and a few pictures and your asking price. If I am interested in what you have I will contact you and make a deal, I will cover all brand inspections and Coggins and Health Papers. Will pay CASH on the spot. I beleive that to be more than fair. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

And… we’ll leave you with one more, although it’s actually just a photo because Jenny K. lost her concentration: “Unfortunately, I didn’t think to save the actual ad that went with this ‘Horse for Sale’ photo. Too distracted by romance, I guess.”
