Guess Pete’s potential buyers can skip that elusive PPE because that animal control officer’s report gives a pretty blunt overview of what you’re getting!

Yeah, sounds like that LE officer was pretty horse savvy. Lame on one hind foot. Swollen fetlock on the other. Plus an oozing saddle sore. But Pete is “100 percent sound” according to the vanishing sale ads.
By the way, what kind of person boasts that they put two docile horses through “hell and high water” for no other reason than their own glory?
Unbelievable. What a misfit.

I find it interesting that none of Cereal BarfHo’s acquaintances ever commented on his “mission”. Or maybe they did and I missed it.
But seriously, has anyone seen a quote from a source purporting to know him well who has an opinion of him? Like, “oh yeah, I grew up with this guy and he’s ok, just not grounded in reality all the time”, or “Former coworker here and we don’t miss him.”

In this article, the State of Idaho, citing Mr. BarfHo, is the bad guy. (Their incident report (or whatever they call it), posted on the_mare_stare, says the horses were hidden in the trees, gives Pete a BCS of 2.5 and Falcon 3, reports that Cereal says Pete has only 3 shoes because he’s too lame to bear weight on one hind while the other is shod. Among other things, like a large, oozing saddle sore.)
How mean of them. How dare they.
The article described him: “confident and charismatic … and his smile was relaxed and natural.” 
Charismatic? Frosted Flakey who swears at and insults everyone and everything? Yeah.

I would like to make a correction to a statement I made a few posts upthread.
Cereal is not Canadian. According to the article he is in fact a Texan native. His father is an Ex-Pat Dutch. His dad owns an organic fruit snack company based in NY and his mother still resides in Canada. (which I will not purchase and will be reading labels on other dried fruit snacks to not support this family).
BUT he is 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, an Asshat.

Imagine for a moment having Cereal at a work desk right beside you. Now bash your hand with a hammer, that’s more desirable.

From the Longriders article linked to the one from @BrownDerby:
Editors Note: The individuals mentioned in the article no longer wish to be associated with or assist Bertheau in any regard.
Apologies to Canada & all Canadian COTHers.
Looks like we’re stuck with TrixR4💩
So… His flight to Canada for “family reunion” was to visit Mommy?
Probably for 
Bet that divorce had them fighting for custody of Raisin Brain 
NOT!
2dogs puts on Sherlock guise… 
So… If Post Jokesies was Canadian Children’s Jumper whatever, Mom got him.
& Snackman Dad joined the faux quest…?
My guess is Mo’
Hoping for the denoument SOON!

Speaking of denouement, did he even get to Spokane as one article above says? I don’t remember anything in between LE nabbing him at the state line (and letting him go 
) which ended with the horses being loaded in a trailer, and the fantasy fiction horse ads saying the horses were in Stephensville, Montana. Or am I getting Brain Flaked…

If he did, I’m betting ID wants him back re: that active & unresolved misdemeanor 
Am I wrong to hope he skips out on that?
Would that make him a fugitive? 
He fought the Law & the Law spanked him!

We all thought he was Canadian. The earliest info we had on him was the Children’s Jumper class in Canada, and children tend to live in the country of their citizenship, especially a sedate, settled country like Canada. And it’s in the French-speaking part of Canada, and Cyril Bertheau sure sounds like a French name.
Ergo, ipso facto, Cereal Barf-o = Canadian.

I appreicate that.
I don’t believe a thing that comes out of that guys mouth anyway. But it was written that he is a “Texan native” and reporters get stuff wrong all the time.
My through process regarding his citizenship stems from him getting the ticket / misdemeanor and not showing up for court. I was hoping he flees across the border and he can’t come back due to a warrant.

If Dad is a US citizen, he could have dual citizenship. It’s not that unusual.

This does not make him a Texan !!! [Outraged Texan > 
]
I’m guessing he was not born in Texas. His folks are not Texans. And don’t live here. He’s a transplant, at best.
He probably used the Texan thing to embellish his cowboy image.
Fwiw, although “Texan native” is a term that many people born in the state have used for decades, these days the definition of “native” is not so clear. The original inhabitants before the white settlers came may have claim to that term – I’m not sure any more – but they are no longer present, due to actions taken by the settlers over a centure ago. No disrespect, just a note.

This is one of those cases where the buyer needs to commit to the horse, not to what the horse may or may not do after purchase.
If a potential buyer doesn’t like the PPE results, Bozo just move on to another potential buyer, of course. The same if a buyer wants to negotiate based on the PPE - next!
The one thing that might bring him to reason is a board bill.
But the other thing actually in his favor is that the longer time the horses can spend recovering on pasture with little or no work, the better they will look and present to a potential buyer.

A PPE is generally to assess a physical condition and, therefore, the likelihood that the animal can fulfill the potential buyer’s intended use or purpose for the horse.
In this case, the purpose is likely to be “save horse from asshat.” No PPE needed for that…

Even if both horses get back to what is, for them, Peak Condition, on no planet in this solar system are they worth what he’s asking.
He can divide by 10 & consider that lucky!
May we hope whoever won that 1.5billion lotto is a horseperson & sees the story?
