Maybe Sketcher has become two mules, and is available for $800
[QUOTE=sketcher;5009318]
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.[/QUOTE]
I received this email today, which seems somewhat similar to Sketcher:

Hello ,
Nice reading from you and thanks for your interest for my mule
Gelding and mare .i am very sorry for the late reply He
is Called King Bell and he is 7 years old , stands over 15.1hh . He is
Well Trained by horse professionals and from a Horse Loving home i
have attached some pictures of King Bell in this email for you to see.
King Bell is as close to the perfect horse as I have ever known - he is
also the smoothest horse you will ever ride - guaranteed. He is
trained to lie down so you can mount and has done this with me many
times.King Bell is a great Experience Horse, He’s well Trained and very
good for all riders , he’s easy to catch and very easy to go along
with on Western and English. King Bell is a great Jumper, for Beginners/
Family , a very good trail horse for every horse lover . King Bell LOVES
the water and will cross anything you point him at. He is the best of
all worlds - calm yet responsive. He is naturally gaited and never
comes out of his gait. He responds to voice commands, lies down for
you to mount and has perfect ground manners at all times . He is the
most honest horse you will ever meet. The only reason I am selling
King Bell is because i had an accident that i was down for 4 months in
the hospital, if not of God i would have lose my left leg but i give
him all the praises because he saved me from Death . . The doctors
told me i can’t ride anymore and i really need
find someone who will continue with further training and lessons with
my horse since i don’t any person i trust to look after him like i was
doing .
As per my location,i am Based in Maryland , But if you can’t then i
Can arrange for a transport company to deliver him over to your home
address . I shall be using a
reliable horse transport company from here that i have once used
before . This will cost you $800for the both horse Including shipping
. I’m giving King Bell for $800 including shipping for both [/I][/INDENT]
I gave the writer my phone number, and he called. When he found out that I was in Maryland, he told me he was in Kansas, and would ship the mule free. If I didn’t want the mule, the driver would give me all my money back and return the mule to Kansas. He had no more pictures he could send me because of his slow Internet connection. I believe it was a scam, and that he was likely calling from somewhere like Nigeria.
