The dangers of horse shopping

[Annagain]

Just a warning to people when looking for a new horse and finding a stud that's shutting down and selling off stock, it's best not to google them (and especially not from a work computer) if they're called "Dancing Stud" . I shut that google results page down pretty quickly

I'm at work, and curious now....

LOL - things people don't think of when setting up their business...

I didn't think of the other possible meaning either until I saw the google results. I think this horse shopping lark is getting to me. I'm even dreaming about it.

Been there done that! Whilst on my lunch break at work one day, I was looking for something equine related. I couldn't think of the full name, but I knew it had 'leather' in it somewhere - so I naively typed 'leather' into Google.....

 

[Gloi]

Don't type 'black stallion' either

 

[Baywonder]

Oh god, this list could be endless....

 

[Sasana Skye]

I had this same issue when I googled 'pole work exercises' I forgot pole work means a different thing in normal people world.

"Ponying" is best avoided as well. There was me thinking it meant leading a horse from another horse...

 

[Pinkvboots]

A lot of words with stallion can bring up a whole lot of surprises in Google land.

Not horse related, but many years ago I was searching for flights on my work computer, during the time BMI still existed. Their website was BMIbaby, but I wasn't concentrating and typed in Bemybaby. I got a very stern automated message saying I wasn't allowed to look at one of THOSE websites on a work computer!

 

[MiJodsR2BlinkinTite]

Just be careful of typing in "Welsh pony stud"............. :-O

 

[Baywonder]

Also not horse related, but a friend of mine googled "Hairstyles for the mature lady". The results were not about the hair on your head......……….

When thinking about bases for stables don't type in hardcore 🙈🙈🙈😱😱😱

I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. I have had a bit of a crap week and this thread has made me laugh so much I now have cheese and onion crisps all over the IPad. It's a good thing I wasn't drinking my tea 😂

 

[Reacher]

My RI told me to look for “rhythm beads”....

 

[little_critter]

I would imagine 'stud girth' must also be a bit scary to google!

 

[turkana]

Girth expander got some interesting results!

 

[splashgirl45]

my neice loved donkeys when she was younger so i googled donkey pics,, the result wasnt what i was expecting,!!!!

Girth expander got some interesting results!

It's certainly educational

I needed a girth extender for my mare last summer but oooofff some of the Ebay results were unexpected

 

[Snowfilly]

I still haven't recovered from googling 'stallion harness' when I was about 14 and naive!

 

[skint1]

Lol this thread is just the ticket!

 

[millikins]

I went to a BDS meeting with a speaker who made lovely DRIVING whips, Googling instructions at home didn't produce quite the advice I was after.....

 

[ycbm]

Try searching for whips on eBay 😂

 

[Bernster]

Haha nooooooo

 

[GoldenWillow]

When I googled CHAPS looking for info about how to register my coloured mare it was rather interesting 😂

 

[dogatemysalad]

I got a new, unwanted education when I searched for riding boots and jodphurs. There are some very strange people out there, I just wish they'd keep off my computer.

 

[Nici]

I had this same issue when I googled 'pole work exercises' I forgot pole work means a different thing in normal people world.

Hihi, I did the same thing!

 

[jumbyjack]

Not just me then, I typed bi**h with dirty vulva!!! Oh dear, results were eeeek!
