I’m not trying to poke fun of this ad, but…
Am I missing something???

Surely they put one too many zeros on that price tag…right?!
I have known people that think their horse is worth WAY more than it is, either due to it’s family ties or what it supposedly can do, or what someone tells them they think it would be worth.
So, yeah…probably someone told them this horse is worth that.
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle…let me get my checkbook. She’s a regular bargain!
Not to brag, but MY horse goes back to the Godolphin Arabian…if you go way, way, WAY back…and make about three illegitimate left turns.
Yikes!!!

I think it might be a poor attempt at a joke, seeing as she’s also listed for $500 (marked down from $1000).
Oh - you’re right, Furlong47 - woops!

I’m pretty sure they established he was a north african barb not an arabian.

I was just trying a little humor.
