And she wasn't Quarab, of that I'm sure!<br /><br />At least everything was true with Casey and his papers backed it up. Only, they listed him shorter, but maybe that's because they f*cked up his feet and they were too short?<br /><br />Chelsi, if you have time, will you please wander over and comment on the Visitor I posted on my blog? I'd like your guess as to what he may be.Oregon Sunshinehttp://oregonsunshine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-7921815003159251222010-08-08T16:33:53.449-07:002010-08-08T16:33:53.449-07:00Oh so true.

I don't want to be pessimistic or paranoid, but I try to read between the lines. And so many of them are "kid-broke, but hasn't been ridden in X years, so may need a tune up." Most are hiding something or omitting information. And why try to make a horse taller than it is? Ridiculous. I looked at a horse a few years ago that was advertised as 16.2 hands. I measured him at under 15.2 and the seller said, "Oh, ok, well we can consider him 16 hands." Does that mean I can "consider" myself as weighing 50 pounds less than I do. Oh...wait, I already do that on my driver's license.Once Upon an Equinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807098276875052982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-13577950549018133132010-08-08T14:04:15.417-07:002010-08-08T14:04:15.417-07:00LOL, Chelsi!!!

And...you defi...LOL, Chelsi!!! You crack me up! : )<br />And...you definitely hit the nail on the head with this one. My biggest pet peave is size. Everyone thinks that their horse is 16 hands or taller. Really?????<br /><br />And what is supposed to be so cool about a giant horse anyway??? I like mine between 14 and 15 hands, but maybe that is because I am only 5'5". : )<br /><br />Oh, and about those damn crickets??? Just ignore them and keep it up, okay???? : 0Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08682815635702122191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578616175371417043.post-43649942995307335222010-08-08T08:27:46.182-07:002010-08-08T08:27:46.182-07:00The worse group at height are Arabs folks.

I asked her n the phone " A true 15.2, or Arabian 15.2" She swore he really was that tall. lol Ummmm, just barely over 15. Still nice size for a nice stoute Arab.txtriggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165396761654165021noreply@blogger.com
