But, back on track, don't you love the ads that say 14.6 h.h.? This is my favorite...horses that are 16.2 and you get out there and they are barely 15 hands. Seen so many that they are not close to advertised height.
^^^^ This....I once drove 5 hours in an ice storm to look at a 16H horse.....said horse was barely 14.1 ..... I always wonder if they measure to the "top of the ears"! |

I have to agree, you can't ride papers but EQUISTAT sure keeps tract of horses' earnings by name. If I am looking at a top notch horse or even broodmare, I check earnings, placings, etc. How many horses are named Bud? probably more than a few.
Here is one I just don't understand. Lady has about 5 horses for sale. Her family has a medical expenses so she has to sell the horses. They are priced $500 to $10,000. (seriously) A person inquires if the 2 year old is registered. This lady has 2 or 3 babies a year. Answer---Yes, the horse could be registered but I just never go the paperwork together. Why keep having babies if you don't bother to register them? Well, something must have sold because she now on her way to New York City on Amtrac. People amaze me.
Equistat doesn't give a whole picture. I see requests for the registered name of so and so's horse who placed at a particular rodeo. I placed at that rodeo, may have even won it, and nobody requested my horse's name. This has happened multiple times and I am certain the requester has no idea what my mare's name is but since she considers me a nobody, who cares who I am riding.
You are very correct but I think you missed the entire point. |
