Been looking at ads on Dream Horse for a beginner horse, something friends, husbands etc. could take out on a trail with me and my horse. Of course I don't know when I'll get that second horse....depends on the boarding costs and what I can afford. My first priority is getting MY horse first, then I'll consider an older horse that Steve or family can ride!!
But anyhow I saw this ad and nearly fell out of my seat laughing!
"A well mannered mare. She is not
baroque to ride. Handles well on the ground with good manners. She has never been lame nor sick. She is a maiden mare."
When I first read that I thought "okay so she's not a flashy dressage horse, that's fine..." Baroque of course is a style of music, art etc. from the 1600's and early 1700's. In Dressage Today it's used to describe horses that are Lusitanos, Freisians, Andulusians....big, cresty horses with huge manes and tails. I think this seller meant that she's not broke to ride. Still it tickled me.
So did an ad that said the horse was for sale or for trade for something that doesn't eat! LOL.
