The most honest Craigslist ad ever
“Essentially a golden retriever with hooves”, “He lives up to the phrase “Nice house, nobody home””! LOL

Aww - if I had horses I’d buy that guy. He sounds so sweet.
Me too! I’ve never wanted a horse (I don’t get the love for horses) but I really want this horse. I hope he finds a very sweet, laid-back owner.
I have to give the seller credit, he does seem to be trying to find the right owner for this horse. And as a horse crazy kid, this would have been the ideal horse for me, because I’d love on him daily, and I’m sure he’d be fine with this.
Exactly - he sounds like my dumbass dog.
After having ridden horses that tried to bite me and scrape me off, Rocky sounds like a really nice horse. I hope he finds a new owner to love him and pet him.
“…he currently has the retention capabilities of a brick” heh. I have a coworker like that.
I don’t need a work horse, and this guy is lovely and seems sweet, which is good enough for me. Hey, and I have $600. A horse will fit in a one bedroom apartment, right?
If you pull up the ads and look at the pics, he’s a pretty boy. And you can’t over-rate sweetness. He’s in Michigan - I think Shirley Ujest needs to buy him for her kids.

As long as you have a sleeper sofa, sure.
Ha! I just saw this same Craigslist post over at COTH. Hysterical. He sounds like a sweetheart, and I’d love to have a horse like him for my kids. Something sweet, well-behaved, and forgiving is priceless for kids. Although…he may not be so much as forgiving as completely forgetful, but hey! That works.
The seller sounds like they’ve taken great care of him, and such an honest ad will help this boy find a great home.
(My mare is sweet as can be and hasn’t a mean bone in her body, but she is ANYthing but dumb. I swear, she overthinks things to the point she stresses herself out. Hmm. I guess we have that in common.)
ETA–I just saw his pics in the posted ad. He’s not a particularly well-made boy, but he is cute and has a gentle…or perhaps, dull…eye. Good boy! Now fetch me my slippers.
Here, Master. Holding two bananas
Ruffian - You could ship him to California. Your kids need a horse, really badly. Even the baby. He’d probably sleep better if he had plenty of fresh air and manure.
I didn’t know you were on COTH. I only found that board when the Marestare thread was going. It can be a frustrating place, and I like to browse more than I post.

Oh, I didn’t know I had to buy a new couch. Never mind then.
He does sound cute. And it’s also sad and cute that the other horses pick on him and don’t let him play horse games.
Oh…oh…oh…

I WANT HIM! Crap, crap, crap… he sounds just perfect!
Dammit.
Fruedian Slit - I can sort of imagine him being the big, slow kid kicking a rock around the playground because none of the other kids want to play with him.
PapSett - Any chance you’re in a position to think about buying? There have to be cheap boarding facility there. At least it doesn’t sound like he’s headed to the kill pens or anything like that.
StG
You make it sound as if he has a glowing nose.
Well he really should lay off the booze.
Aaaaahhh, he sounds like the best horse ever and he’s so cute in those pictures.
Oh…I want him! I’ll bet he’d get along great with my pasture pets (goats).
Anyone want to help get him here (Washington State)?
