There's a few videos like that about I'd not seen that one though, it's kind of cuter as everyone is in slow mo naughty rather than running off.
Cheeky/ridiculous posts you see on Facebook.

I was at a pony club show once where the crowd cheered during a prize giving and set off something like this
I’ve seen one of those. Kids hitting the deck in every direction, ponies either running riot or eating the flowers by the showjumps and the judges and stewards laughing too much to do anything.

I have actually been one of those kids a good few times back in the day. God bless shitelands, long may they reign.

Someone is auctioning off a 20yr old fell stallion. Unbroken but licensed and been running with mares all its life. The first to reach £250 can have it.

"14.2h Celt is looking for a home as a companion/pet.
He's up to v light work and when I say v light I mean a 10 min walk around a school once a week, not
'Will he do for a few hacks a week and the odd fun ride!!!'
He doesn't stand up to sustained work, requires no medication, no special shoring etc in fact is v easy maintenance, beautiful manners, lovely nature.
Shows in hand foot perfect, stands like a lamb on box etc.
Quite the rosette machine In Hand.
Registered Welsh Part Bred.
7yr old gelding."
Respectfully, wtf is wrong with some people.

Will be buted up and sold to some unsuspecting person. Sometimes the best thing is to pts

I find this phrase deeply irritating
"Hassle free sale wanted because this is hard enough as it is"
Now occasionally the backstory is genuinely tragic (selling my deceased mother's beloved cob...) and yes you want people to be a bit mindful of the context in those situations.
But normally it's just 'horse I adore BUT.... doesn't do the job I want him for well enough/ too big/ too small/ daughter lost interest/ overhorsed/ high maintenance... etc. Ie exactly the kind of horse you want more info on. And what does 'hassle' even mean. Asking questions? Wanting video? God forbid wanting to view!! Why do people feel they are owed a hassle-free solution to moving on a horse that no longer suits them?

This is particularly irritating as there are hassle free solutions- i.e. sales livery or selling to a dealer. To me it reads as 'I want the maximum profit, without doing any work for the sale' (or, less charitably, 'I know there's something wrong with the horse, but I want him gone before that becomes apparent')

Exactly. It's kind of a 'don't ask questions about the horse and definetely don't be wanting a vetting" message, while also suggesting their 'heartbreak' over selling makes due diligence inappropriate or hurtful.

Not cheeky/ridiculous so much as depressing.
This is the standout sentence for me from an ad for 5-7 day livery, sounds like fantastic facilities and hacking, experienced owners living onsite and then...Would put turn out pens in if winter turnout is needed.
Seriously how do people think turnout in winter is an optional extra?

Not a FB ad but a job ad posted by PETA.

Yeah, alright there Points Of The Horse

Looks like quite advanced DSLD which is a painful condition and would be made so much worse carrying the weight of a foal
.Can the advert be reported to anywhere?

This. I had mine euthanised way before he got to this stage as it's degenerative and untreatable. Also believed to have a genetic component so absolutely dreadful to be breeding from this poor soulLooks like quite advanced DSLD which is a painful condition and would be made so much worse carrying the weight of a foal

It's from Arabian Horse trading posts on Facebook! I saw it shared on twitter. Based in America luckily! Apparently an old injury from kicking the stables walls.

Breeding is pretty interesting too

Yes... I don't believe that. Trouble is it'll cause bilateral pain, so any lameness will be masked. Goodness I hope she lands somewhere safe.

This is what happens when you swim in the shallow end of the gene pool. Poor horse.

So the parents are full brother and sister, the horse has a serious, probably inherited condition which can affect other soft tissues including the heart, the hind suspensory's are already very badly affected and somebody thinks breeding this forward would be a good idea as long as they can make a few bucks .

Oh even better genetics to pass on then.
