There is a young gal in our area who advertises on Craiglist for lessons. I have no problem with her being young, but she claims to be a champion jumper, 3 level dressage, can train in western, etc etc etc…how did she find time to do all that at the tender age of 25? Sadly people dont listen to others who tell them she is actually mean,nasty, rude, and a horse beater to boot (and yes I did witness that first hand) I dearly wish people had to pass some kind of licensing to be trainers, it may up the price of the lessons but at least there would be some kind of accountability.

My favorite is when they say they have lots of energy… so basically it’s going to run off with me. And if it is slightly above your level how am I supposed to know what level you ride at?

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS! I AGREE THAT CONDUCTING AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR A STALLION CAN BE CHALLENGING AND SORT OF OVERWHELMING. IT’S LIKE VISITING AN ONLINE DATING SITE FOR YOUR MARE.

when I was going to breed my mare I looked online at stallion ads. Every horse has some championship title with a bunch of letters after it like I know what they all mean. And I like the barn ads where the only photos of the trainer competing are from 20 years ago. And they say they train every kind of horse including problem horses. Like you said oh really?

I think it is funny to read some horse sale decriptions. My favorites are ” I bought this horse for my daughter but they don’t quite get along, but she would make a perfect horse for your daughter” (ya I’m sure!) and “I bought this horse but she is a little above my skill level and i no longer have enogh time for her, she would make a great all-round horse” so although this person can’t seem to ride the horse the horse would be perfect at everything,hmmm….

Thank you for writing this it, is so very true. It seems like all the trainers multiple National/World Champion in something, but like you said- “Oh Really.” I absolutely love all of your blogs.
