More from the mailbag…
Nov 03 2007
“Buck is not broke, we have just bred him a few times and have petted him… but he is not in the least bit mean.. he will come to you when you cll him and he is very curious.. would not take much to have him working in just about any way.. he just needs a good home and a gentle touch.. just give me any e-mail.”
He was a $200 mustang stallion. He’s now marked as sold. My $200 says he’s on a plate in France before his foals hit the ground. LOOK AT HIS DAMN HOOF. You sure didn’t pet him while he was having a hoof trim, did you? Not to mention his hipbones. How do you have a skinny mustang? Mustangs are air ferns. Argh.
Here’s a nice Thoroughbred that stands “15.8 hands,” owned by today’s Bad Parent Du Jour.
“All around horse loves attention and loves to work. I’ve swam him, been on a cattle round up, and been around rodeos. Lots of trail riding. He loves cattle and working around them but he is no cutting horse his head is wired to his rear end not the front. sliding stops and role backs. Needs experienced rider. (LIKE YOUR BABY?????????)Very very smart. Not positive on birth date.”
You know, Britney Spears got investigated by CPS for having her baby in a car without a car seat. Don’t we all agree that a car is safer for a child than an unrestrained Thoroughbred standing in a shitty cattle barn with a low hanging beam that he is going to bonk his head on?
*sigh* Can someone in Eastern Washington go get this horse? I hate to encourage asshats but I want this nice boy to go to a home where they own some grooming implements and a waterproof blanket before winter. He looks beyond sweet and I am afraid the mention of swimming will cause some Omak Suicide Race participant to go pick him up. Besides, these kind of asshats keep e-mailing me and thanking me for the free publicity, so there ya go, everybody wins.
OK, just a small detour here to ask “WTF??? Are you encouraging this stuff to happen?”
And then it gets worse…
OK, I really do want one of you in the local area to get involved on this if you can. We will all be so grateful. Listen up, NO HATE CALLS OR NASTY-GRAMS TO THE OWNER. THE HORSE NEEDS TO GET SAVED FIRST.
“This Horse is 4 1/2 years old. It is A Beautiful Horse. It has Problems walking in it’s front hands, but it is A great horse for breeding. I am asking for $20. If you are interested please call me at (559)645-2033 or (559) 718 9633.”
OK, goddamn, someone near Madera, California, PLEASE GO GET THE POOR MARE. I will chip in for euthanasia if needed and so will my readers. The killers are going to get it and I don’t know if it can walk and it’ll have to go on a double decker like that. PLEASE if you are nearby, pick it up and let us know you have it. We can find a rescue to help if it looks like it can be saved, but for all I know reading this, it’s like a horse that AC confiscated here where the coffin bones were already through the soles. Please let me know if you have it, or if you learn that a rescue has it.
Argh. I hate people. People suck. I see things like this and I want to buy 100 acres in the middle of nowhere, install satellite internet, and retire from communicating with the outside world. *rescuer head explodes*

Oops. That should read “own animals”.
Wow – lucky Apocalypsepony…. I wish I had a vet and farrier in the family!
colorisnteverything commented on how expensive the “stunt club” place was. It is in Hawaii…very limited land. I travel there frequently, and I can tell you turnout is like GOLD. For $500 you can “pasture lease”, but that is only for the land. You are then 100% responsible for your horse’s care. On top of that, you are also 100% responsible for watering your “pasture” which is more like a paddock, and insuring that the grass is maintained. Hawaii is a VERY expensive place to keep a horse!
And as for the stunt club? How do I join? I try very hard to be safe, but I compete…accidents happen. Sometimes you have an unscheduled dismount. I broke my ankle at a show three weeks ago. Didn’t think it was hurt that badly, taped it, rode for two more days, won all my classes, THEN found out my ankle was broken. Talk about feeling like an ass…a hat would have helped me hide my shame
Any word on the horse in CA?
Yes, what is the news on the mare in California? Did anyone pick her up? How is she?
BTW – laughinghorse.org’s homepage now says “Fuck You” and a note about contacting Tom for redunds on donations.
(Other pages from laughinghorse.org are still accessible through Google’s cache.)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. At first I was confused because I started to type laughinghorse.org into my address bar and then clicked on the one it had listed…the site was normal.
But typed it out fully and THERE IT IS!!! Just a “fuck you” and who to contact about refunded donations.
Weird!!!
But hey, one by one we’re getting these MORONS to start paying attention.
So I’m really disappointed. I got there this morning and the mare was not there. They said someone else picked her up. No idea where she went or what purpose they bought her for. Hopefully she’s going somewhere humane.
gotnochrome, I’m sure I speak for many of us here on FHoTD…. thank you SO much for trying. I hope we eventually hear what happened to her, but however it shakes out, we owe you one for your efforts. YOU are the one who dropped everything and tried to get this done.
Kate is absolutely right–Fugly is getting peoples’ attention! Yahoo!
Here is the *new* Laughing Horse site if anyone wants to see it.
http://www.laughinghorse.org/horses.html
Maybe we can get him to write more obscenities on that one. Really–if a horse “rescue” is going to react to accusations by writing cuss words on their link, then that makes them suspect in my mind.
ARE YOU READING THIS, TIM???!!
How did this turn out. Did some one help?
Gotnochrome, thank you for trying. I hope the killers didn’t pick her up.
But thank you, thank you for making that effort at your own expense – we all appreciate it!
I’m hoping a Fugly Fan got her and will post an update. *fingers crossed*
OMG
four and a half
makes me want to CRY
i have twenty bucks. id take her on in half a heart beat if it could save her from the terrors slaughter might have for her.
