Most Bizarre gone wrong thread?

[BatCoach]

right? Oh I would love to see an update on Ali and his lady. I’m sure if it was a IRL situation, rather than a bored teen I’m sure this animal/human majikcal bond ended with a CL or FB add for a really cheap lame horse.

Something like
"TO GOOD FOREVER HOME ONLY Ali is amazing horse who can rear on command. He is 100% purebread (yes sp intentional here) Arab. His bloodlines go back to the 1930s!! He is worth 20k, but for the right home I will consider letting this amazing soul go for $2,000. He prefers to not be ridden and would be a really good Cavallia horse or movie horse. He is an awesome horse who is perfect but I just don’t have the time for him. (pic of super underweight horse with a tacky beaded halter)

@BatCoach
But those were Speshul Semi-Mental Beads
Maybe ad would be for the browband, $2K includes horse

Reminds me of a sale where buyer paid $$ for a crap leadrope…
Sale included a puppy gratis

PO does, indeed, not show up. But they are still active here. How is the pony doing, PO?

@2DogsFarm I read that as a puppy gratin… eeep!!

Begging to make something out of myself in the equestrian world...

I’m out to make something of myself. I think everyone out there who rides has a dream of traveling and competing at the highest level. Well, for me it’s a lot more than a dream. I know that everyone else might say that also, but in this case it’s very different. I am willing to give up everything to do this. I want to be in the equestrian world for the rest of my life, and I have never wanted anything but. My life has been giving up expensive clothing, technology, and everything else, for riding…

Similar to the Skittles thread…

Lol they’re among us?! I’m so out of the loop. Now I’m wondering who it is!

There is a summary of the thread towards the end of it. A couple of people throw down the cliff note version. I’ll go back really quick and see if I can find the post number. I will say that the switch to the new format has made it more difficult to follow these older posts that have multiple quotes and used different colors because none of that transferred through. ETA: post 1787 has a decent summary, but goes off on their own tangent as well.

I went over and read that one. Surly that wasn’t REALLY the owner of Crypto Aero as she(?) really was not pleasant.

[Old_Mac_Donald]

Is the feed company still going?

Edit - never mind, it is.

Already spotted an error. Can you find it?

I believe the general consensus was that the poster WAS the company owner but yeah they did not paint the brand in a good light.

[LilDunFilly]

Everything written there reads like a lot of buzzwords and the kerning (?) is messed up in various places.

Check the Vit E levels.

Off the top of my head, and these have all been mentioned already:

• Musical Jumper
• Arabian jumper
• Crayola posse

Anyone who remembers these topics is definitely an original COTHer from the first days of the forum. I can’t believe I’ve been a member here for 20 years!

I remember that MJ thread. What a sh** show. The crazy was off the charts. And that was just by the OP.

[endlessclimb]

An order of magnitude is how the Mariner I exploded.

Oh, I’d forgotten about the thread where the “breeder” falsified the pedigree of a stallion that they were standing, claiming it was a “Czechoslovakian Warmblood” when it was actually a Canadian Warmblood or pinto grade horse. They actually advertised a pedigree that belonged to a Czech horse as belonging to their stallion. It was an outrage, an awful con job.

I suppose they thought no one would notice. Because, no one really researches a breeding stallion, they just look at the advertisements when looking for a proper breeding for their mare , right?

I wish I could remember the name of the thread…

“WuHu vaccine should not go to old white people”. I did not keep up on that thread until I noticed the mods closed it and then went back and read the last 40 responses which appeared to be 3-4 posters jousting back and forth with one I’m sure not far off from getting banned.

Ok did that thread go poof as I can’t find it.

[Brown_Derby]

@skydy - You might be remembering the Tye Dye Equines thread. She’s still around, now in WA, breeding pony crosses.

[skydy]

That was it!
