Funily enough, when horse hunting through the back of H&H a few years ago with my parents, they'd read ads out line by line and i'd translate in a similar fashion..... lol

Thankfully found my ginger ninja not long after!

Good first pony - just don't let him off the lead rein

Very special horse - he's a bit "special"

Jumps for fun - jumps one fence in three

Forward going but safe - if you are experienced enough
Never bucked or reared - not that we've ever seen
Willing to please - unless somebody asks him to do something he doesn't want to do

PMSL! :D A few more for you....

Same home for 5 years (we couldn't catch him for 3 years and he's been for sale for the last 2 years)

Well Handled (we're too scared to ride him)

Great to box shoe catch (you can't clip him and he's awful in traffic - rotate as appropriate!)

Only for sale as we've too many horses (and we like him least)

Parelli Home only (confused horse seeks new nutters)

Stunning (regularly drops you on your head so you see stars)

' ....... a sort hard to find....' - nothing else could be like this pony

'......goes first or last....' - bucks when anything is in front of it, or struggles to keep up

Not at all mareish - well when she's not in season anyway
Genuine reason for sale - We daren't ride him
Has been trained in show jumping - Has jumped a few cross poles
Well balanced - On hind legs when rearing
Good to clip - When hobbled
Brought on a novice rider - Taught them to sit a good buck
A real character in the stable - Spins around and tries to kick and bite
Works in a soft round shape - When ridden in draw reins

:D
