| This is just for laughs, lets keep it light hearted
What are some of your pet peeves to see on BHW adds? Mine personally include those really old ( in their mid 20s+) barrel horses that are being offered with the famous tag line "still has plenty more years left to give". Not that old horses cant compete, I just like to think at some point they earn their retirement.
Or "Im selling because I really need to thin down my herd, trades for same caliber horse considered" lol
Or how about "Started on the barrels, goes back to Dash for Cash...$30,000" maybe I exagerated a bit but you guys get what Im saying.
Lets hear yours

| When the ad says 1D/Rodeo caliber, and the video is 10 minutes of it trotting/loping circles.
Show me the best the horse can do! If it is a barely started prospect, I'm fine with seeing how well it can trot/lope/stop/back. If it is supposed to be finished, not so much. |

| My all time favorite is when people start a thread "what's my horse worth". And they basically list their add. They are trying to avoid having to pay for an add and still getting their horse exposed. |

I saw one of those on FB the other day...a girl wanted a horse that was started on barrels for high school rodeo but could only spend $2500. Then in the comments people were posting their horses that were just green broke, or had never seen a barrel pattern, because that's pretty much the best she's gonna get for that price.
Not gonna lie, when I was a teenager, I had no clue how much a good horse cost. Back then, I thought $2500 was an expensive price for a horse. I have definitely changed my mind since then :) |

Location: Finally horseback again.... | I had a guy call me the other day and says,
" I want to buy a solid barrel horse that has no bad habits for my teenage daughter"
Me: ok. what is your budget? and how experienced is she riding?
Him: Oh she doesnt know how to ride, and I have 1500. Oh and can you have someone deliver it, we dont own a trailer....
True story.
I saw this at a barrel race a couple weeks ago and thought it was priceless...
This is another husband rant..
