I am sad to report I'm neither shocked or stunned by this advert....:

http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/106352222/stallion-17hh.html

Not bothered about papers, not fussed on breed and must be cheap as hasn't got money for stud fee. So that must mean no money for correct feeding of broodmare, vet costs etc.
Don't get me started on the appalling grammar and spelling.

What makes it worse is that there are equally dim people in the world who have got a gypsy cob type colt that they are 'unsure' about castrating. They see that advert and go 'oooh I'll keep him entire and make money!!'

Why not leave breeding to the experts, or at the very least, those who are rational and have budgeted for such expenses? :(

The advertiser should not be allowed to breed - equine OR human
 
Don't get me wrong, the advert is awful and she shouldn't be allowed to have horses, yet alone breed from them, BUT....

Don't shoot me when I say this - the best horses I have had have been those with unknown breeding!

Ha I understand, I've never owned a pure bred horse in my life! However, I do object to people like this!

Would agree with the unknown breeding point. I have 2 reg NF mares, each of whose offspring have now managed to win championships at their breed show, so they're good girls who have nice decent foals. However, on their dam's side, nothing is known about their maternal grand-dam and back beyond that...
