There's a new leader, I think?

Menage is falling out of favour and most people are using arena instead.

Is number one now domosedan? I've seen more spellings of it than I've had hot dinners :D

Confirmation and laminitus for me. Oh, and I also see some very interesting variations of the word ‘haylage’!

And whilst not a spelling issue my favourite phrase is;-‘

I’m thinking about breeding my mare’

No!!! You are thinking about breeding FROM you mare!
Your mare’s breeder bred her!!!
 
Not so much a misspelling, but I'm always amazed by how many stallions have given birth, judging by the number of horses that are 'out of' a stallion.
 
We get lots of threads on here entitled "biting".

I open them expecting to give advice on moving the horse's mouth away from you, ignoring bad behaviour and rewarding the good, only to find that the advice wanted is about which bit to use.

That should be 'bitting'!

Haulage instead of haylage.

That has happened to me, dratted autocorrect. OH was amazed that I had ordered some haulage - he probably thought I had bought a new horse :D

I have a friend who was telling me in great depth about how his horse now had cushions and it may be to do with being fat. I thought he was talking about fat pads, but no it was Cushing's. He could not blame autocorrect as he was talking to me.

Screwbold.

The one that gets me though is a 5 star vetting. I often wonder if the vet used a red carpet or something.
 
Afraid I think I am old school but getting manege, haylage and conformation wrong really does irk me.
 
I don't think this is a spelling error only, more like a misuse of language error. People go out to buy a new horse/rug or whatever, and come back telling you "I brought...". No, you bought! Well, okay, presumably you also brought home whatever thing you set out to buy. But still. Bugs me.

When people tell me they 'brought' something, I ask them, "Where did you bry it from?" Confused face follows, at which point I explain it's easy to remember bought versus brought if you consider that the present tense also has an 'r' or not...after all, nobody asks if they should "bing a bottle" or "bry that nice horse".
 
Plurals.
Flies not flys.
Incorrect use of apostrophes when it’s just a straightforward plural
 
Appaloosa in various ways or ads like this one:

"father was a 17 hands Irish sport this mare was bred to event and Iam going to be as honest as I can she's is powerfull but respect fall never reared or bucked I've shown her wear she went in a double bridle no trouble she went on loan were she jumped one meter thirty but had muscel waste on one side and girl didn't do to correct Iam not a strong enough rider to hold her in the canter but Iam working on it her walk and trot is done we've done cross country and spiders oured ride where she will jump huge from the trot tables ect she needs someone who is more experienced then me to be able to keep her power under control there isn't a nasty bone in her body I e been rider her in a bare back pad to work the back even as she's a mare to rember pain she hacks out alone travels well had shoes on although bare foot at moment this mare needs an experience clam rider to bring the best out of her as she is wasted with me and needs to go do what she was bred for or would make top class brood mare"

Please ask someone to check it over before you place the ad, especially when you want a few thousand for the horse.
