Best of Craigslist: ‘Tall, dark and handsome wants YOU – $700’

“He’s kind of a douche bag to other horses, ie he pees on his buddy’s hay then enjoys his non peed on hay and sometimes he is afraid when he hears a butterfly fart, but hey, that can be scary.”

Many thanks to reader Jenny who sent in this ad with the note, “Clearly, ‘douchebag’ is a term of endearment.”

Tall, dark and handsome wants YOU – $700 (Lexington)

Do you like long piggy backed walks? Do you love intelligent, sweet, and quasi crazy gelded thoroughbreds? Then THIS guy is YOUR guy!!! Patrick is an UNRACED 14 yo thoroughbred gelding with a lot of flat work under his girth! He has no vices and great feet but he needs a job and someone to love him. He’s kind of a douche bag to other horses, ie he pees on his buddy’s hay then enjoys his non peed on hay and sometimes he is afraid when he hears a butterfly fart, but hey, that can be scary. He needs an experienced rider. He came to us as a rescue but I need quieter horses. He moves beautifully . ..he can probably jump well but Im not that brave.
