This is copied from a joke book my SS bought me-thank you!

Bold jump-nips over five bar gate from a standstill when someone tries to catch him.

Home bred-knows nothing other than how to pull up plants in vegetable gardens.

Plenty of bone-good thing is has a mane, tail and little ears otherwise it would be mistaken for a small elephant.

No vices-especially when wearing it's muzzle.

Not novice ride-lunatic.

Suit confident teenager-lunatic, not phased by loud music.

Forward going-two paces, standstill and full gallop.

Should make 16hh-dam and sire both 15.2 but this one might just defy DNA and grow a bit more.

Well mannered-hasn't stepped on, bitten or kicked anyone for the last week.

No time forces sale-current rider still having daily hospital treatment.

Will make SJ- regularly jumps fences to get out of paddock.

Will make eventer-no brakes.

Will make dressage horse-no accelerator.

Will make RC horse-no brains.

Quietly brought on-walked about yard in headcollar, hobbles and muzzle.

Ideal second pony-provided your child is 6ft tall, 15 stone and an expert sumo wrestler.

Fun hack- spooks at everything.

Experienced home only-always escapes, gets injured, kicks and bites.

Schoolmaster-old and decrepit.

Fast against the clock-better once dumped rider and galloping across showground.

Open to vet-prospective purchaser to pay for current owners to find out what's wrong with it.

Hacks out alone- lets itself out of the stable and goes walkabout
Hacks out in company - lets all the other horses out of their stables to go walkabout!
 
Expressive paces - all 4 feet leave the ground at the same time

Good do'er - obese

Good to clip, shoe, box etc - provided it is sedated up to the eyeballs

For sale through no fault of his own - his vicious nature is genetic, he can't help it
 
Seen Hounds -somewhere, maybe in a certain magazine
Will take small adult - will try to take small adult where it wants to go, will certainly clear off with small child
Ideal mother/daughter share - funny how they never say 'father/son' share
 
Broken in - Has been sat on
now working in an outline - with draw reins on
never nasty - except when you tell him to do something he doesn't want to do
never bucked - well except for that one time...
good solid feet - has navicular
good to clip - with a twitch and sedation
