75k horse lies down for you to get on.

[sketcher]

Seriously…ad states this horse is expensive because it lies down for you to get on. She has to get 75k firm because her accountant tells her she has to show a profit. Is it that easy? Dang…

Dolly is as close to perfect of a horse as I have ever known - she is also the smoothest horse you will ever ride - guaranteed. If you are in Texas and would like to ride Dolly - call me - she will sell you on Missouri Foxtrotters from then on. Dolly is a registered, blue-papered Missouri Foxtrotter mare, 15 hands, dark golden palomino and she is 12 years old. Dolly has never had a lame or unwell day in her life and I have owned her for 9 years. She is trained to lie down so you can mount and has done this with me many times. She will lay down anywhere, anytime - all you have to do is tap her on her leg with a whip (not hit her, tap her lightly). You would need to be under 150 pounds for her to do this easily. You can ride her western, english and bareback with a halter. Dolly LOVES the water and will cross anything you point her at. She will walk slowly with the quarter horses or faster with the gaited horses. She is the best of all worlds - calm yet responsive. She is naturally gaited and never comes out of her gait. She is effortless to ride. Dolly neckreins, backs, comes off your legs, responds to voice commands, lies down for you to mount and has perfect ground manners at all times. I handle and ride her and I am in a wheelchair. (I am not the person riding her in the video - I am filming it. She is suitable for any rider, anytime and I put beginners on her for long trail rides even if she hasn’t been ridden in months. She is the most honest horse you will ever meet. The only reason I am selling her is because my accountant says I have to show a profit sometime. Dolly’s price is firm at $75,000 (how many horses do you know that will lie down to help you on?)
I have other horses for sale that are as good to ride as Dolly and they are much less expensive as they aren’t trained to lie down for you. She is bred to Shaker’s Jamaican Pride (“Leo”) - our amazing stallion who won the MFTHBA World Jumping Championship at 4 years old and went on the following year to win 16 first places and 8 division championships in Open Jumping (the most in MFTHBA history) at 5 years old. You can see their first foal, Baron, on my website at www.Greattrailhorse.com and a picture of Leo above . You can watch Dolly lie down to mount on the youtube video on this website. My daughter is learning to ride on Dolly - she is worth her weight in gold.

Doesn’t that lady post here? Or maybe someone here has a similar website. Or maybe not, and I am making things up.

But yeah, if that’s all it took to get $75k for a horse, I would train all of mine to lay down on command.

[Noctis]

yeah but if you can get around a small course apparently you can get $100,000, like Mrs. T on the site…

[gloriginger]

that’s a really good example of the expression barn blind. I knew a woman in AZ that had a mustang that she taught to lie down. I never really saw the point,plus I don’t want to get my tack all scratched and dirty…- I guess if you are in a wheelchair it makes sense, but wouldn’t it be easier to get a mounting block with a ramp?

The “jumping video” is pretty scary.

[Long_Spot]

Oh my. I spent a little bit wandering around the website.

However, they do appear to take paypal. You could paypal the 75k.

[Aven]

wow I have a small 20 year old mare who lies down… (among other things) She has also shown trillium hunter, dressage, evented and field hunted… OMG I am sitting on a gold mine!!!

(btw unless your horse lies flat no tack gets scraped. Even when they do ‘die’… had to train that part for a TV show, nothing seems to get scraped, but I only did it on grass)

ETA this horse can be ridden bridleless with just a soft rope around her neck.

Taking offers of 200,000… hurry at this price she won’t last long.

[Long_Spot]

But is she a pretty color, Aven? I know it’s pocket change, but I wont drop that kind of money on a plain old bay or chestnut.

[SarahandSam]

I know a horse that lies down… but she lies down for you to get off, when she’s decided the lesson is done with. (; Wonder if that’s worth $75k?

That’s worth way more. I mean the horse clearly has a physic ability and knows that the lesson is over! duh! $500,000

True–think of the money you’ll save in clocks! Not to mention all the overtime that stables have to pay their instructors when a lesson runs over. d;

Fantasy horse white! You know the glowing white with out any marring bits? uh would you pay more if I called it ‘unicorn’ white?

[Long_Spot]

If you’ll throw in a Scotch Guarding and floor mats for free.

[Aven]

oh even better she hates dirt! I will throw in some waterless shampoo as she does occasionally use a poo pillow.

Hmm she also comes when called, and shakes hands…

Better transfer money right away I feel a price increase coming on…

[Long_Spot]

I’m going to my paypal account immediately!

[Big_Grey_hunter]

Evewm better, her horses don’t need the farrier!

Damn. This is making my el cheapo OTTB look bad. You know, the all bay (boring!) that stands at the mounting block (boring!!) that needs shoes (cha ching!!). However, he will point out what areas need to be scritched and stand patiently for a good 15 or 20 minutes while you scratch the itch…is that worth anything? No?

Good thing my accountant is not telling me I have to show a profit…

[Marengo]

“worth her weight in gold” huh?

I think the seller is taking this statement literally. A 1200lb horse is about 545 kgs. With gold going roughly around $1,180/kg that makes this horse worth about $64,000 at a gold price per kilo. I suppose the 11K extra is for the seller’s account, to show them a profit.

[DressageGeek_Ribbon]

I hope she wears a leather and not a sheepskin girth if she’s going to troll down in the mud for you to get on. Of course, if you fork over $75K for this mare, you probably just buy a sheepskin girth and throw it away after each use.

[fourmares]

Heck for $50K I’ll teach the horse you already own to lay down for you to get on.

[2DogsFarm]

Laying down for you to mount…meh :rolleyes:

Now show me one trained to pick its own stall & I’ll mortgage the farm!

Hey Geek:
ask Ted how much he thinks you’re worth now that he has you properly trained.
