Oh Craigslist, You Amuse Me So!

And now here's a new one... seen people looking for free dogs but never a free horse... and oddly they actually sound pretty educated and experienced so it's weird. Maybe they're just cheap LOL

But if they can't or aren't willing to spend the money to buy one, I would question their ability to be able to care for it too.

If that ad were in my area it would make perfect sense. Weekly you can find donkeys, chickens, goats , pigs and the occasional horse that people either are moving or divorcing and just want the animals gone. You could build your own Farm off of Craigslist. Not saying what the quality is. In this area that person would probably find a free horse if they ran their ad long enough.

I know of people who need to rehome an old horse or one with a disability - no longer able to ride/show. My cousin had that situation & was paying a lot of money to board her horse. After 2 years of vet treatment all she could do was visit him and spent much of that time crying. He was only 4 or 5. Through a rescue, she was able to find a stable who could use him as a companion for their other horses.

It is strange that he's asking for a free horse that he could ride without offering a trade or some kind of payment. Around here there are a few ads asking for any unwanted farm animals; however, there really aren't any farms left in this county. I'm guessing they get lots of roosters & kittens.

I can definitely understand that and there are occasionally free animals here too, usually parakeets or small rodents but sometimes cats or dogs.

And there are occasionally free companion horses too but the rideable part is a bit weird.

Sounds like a well set up advertisement. In terms of telling flaws and the shots they were given. Didn't know you could sell "parovovirus shots" though. Some spelling and grammar wasn't paid attention to. :lau

I guess so but they definitely don't even know how to spell what they're selling. And I did finf it odd how they said cherry eye is no big deal. I guess technically it isn't compared some serious genetic illness or something but it still would eventually need to be treated, probably at buyers expense.

Eh Chiwawa!

Yeah exactly! Lol

Yeah, I've seen the unwanted farm animals ads here too or fish and I have seen free or very cheap companion horses here but the rideable part is definitely weird. I get horses are expensive but should at least offer some money. Maybe they're hoping they'll get some problem horse no one wants.
