Step right up and see the smartest filly and the dumbest owner!
Oct 30 2009
You know how I normally say that it’s best to politely try to offer advice to people? That we can make our point the best if we keep it calm, cool and profanity-free?
Well, I’m just not in that kind of mood tonight. It’s all I can do not to call this moron and give him a piece of my mind (which would benefit him greatly, as he clearly is a cerebrally-challenged member of our society) My friend is sitting next to me and she just said “if I could beat that person over the head with a 2 x 4, I would.” Amen, sister. I will help. There is no place in Hell bad enough for this asshat. I don’t know why we don’t have laws on the books that forbid riding a horse under 24 months of age. We should.Â
I’m just in no mood for this. James and Skyler Bowden, you guys are the scum of the earth. I see you also have dirt bikes – could you just stick to those and leave the poor, helpless filly alone???
It’s in Texas if you want to upgrade it, though the thought of giving him the whopping $250 he wants instead of a cruelty citation makes me nauseous.Â
The ad, in case it gets deleted.Â
“This filly is back up for sale once again, seem like money situations are even hitting the great state of Texas., Charlotte is the absolutly smartest filly under a year old that you can find. I challenge any body to show me another 7 month colt or filly at any price, that is this smart. She leads , loads in a small 2 horse, and Im not saying I can shove her in and drag her out, I open the door say come on in and she walks in, I open door with her in tell her big step, and back up, she backs out. She will kneel, stretch, and she rides, I only let kids less than 90lbs on her, she has been led along a busy highway, no spook, I can pickup and hold any foot, pull her tail, walk under her, She dont give me any trouble with wormer, i even gave her a shot in the rump the otherday, she didnt like it but didnt buck and bounce around 1/2 as much as my 7 yrold gelding.If I had more room Id just keep her, and If she dont sell soon I might just put up some more fence to make the room for her. The price is firm, I have way more time in her than price reflects. $250 might buy you another horse, and would buy 2 decent colts, but you aint getting Charlotte for a penny less. Before thinking price is too much or something like that, remember the last time you had a shoulder dislocated trying to handle one of those $100 fillies, My 12 yr old can load this filly, and ride her up the highway. 1st find another young horse that can do what this filly can, then consider the time it takes to train one, $250 is dirt cheap for a filly this smart.”

You know, I had a situation much like this when I was visiting another stable. Young foal (about six months or so) was in her paddock with her mother and I noticed a couple of teenagers watching the two. I didn’t know who was or wasn’t a rider there but those kids were really focused on the mare and the foal. There were other horses in paddocks near by. Well, I ignored them and went back to listening to my friend talk to the owner (who was considering boarding her horse there). Out of nowhere, we heard this shrill scream followed by more screams. One of the kids had jumped on the foal, who had instinctively freaked, and the mother reacted defensively and tried to protect her baby. The kid ended up with a broken arm along with being banned from the barn and the poor little foal was terrified of anyone who walked past him. You can’t fault the mare for protecting her baby or the filly for panicking. Oh, and the kids said that they wanted to help train the filly by starting her off early. Yes, they were between the ages of 14-18.
I just don’t understand why someone would take pictures of it. That’s like trying to get a two month old baby to carry a five pound backpack across the house. Maybe I’m exaggerating but it was the only comparison I could think of…Look through any book about horse care and it WILL tell you that a horse can be ridden at the age of two but some will wait as long as four years. Training a horse isn’t just about breaking them into riding; its teaching them manners, how to follow a lead, how to trust. You can have a horse who can be well trained to ride but have horrible manners while he’s being groomed (trust me, I know…).
I joined this site to learn more about horses because, as I found out here, that I hadn’t been educated properly with horses at the stable I rode at. As much as I’d like to find another stable to ride at, the nearest one is a half-hour drive from my home; I don’t have the time or money right now. So, here I am, educating myself with horse-people.
And I know a lot of these people don’t sit on the computer all day with nothing better to do than laugh at people. I read the post, picked a few comments (and I did read DO & FHOTD’s comments) after I have taken care of my family, my pets, as well as my aunt’s five cats and my cousin’s seven animals. We all make mistakes, yes, but its also realizing that maybe you’re wrong, then listening to what others have to say and going from there. Insulting people will not make matters any better; it’ll do the opposite.
Hey lets cool all the hating, My wife just made parole and you are pissing her off big time. I admitted leting the kids set on the filly was not a good idea, What else do you folks want? My wife would be more than happy to kick your asses if anybody has the nerve to post their address, but this is all stupid shit. I violated no laws, so what if I dont type so well, there aint no need to be stupid. I have no dobt if anybody actually thought that filly was injured the cops would already be hear. Go read your books watch your seminars, what ever makes you feel smart. I got 20 years of working with horses, maybe I have more to learn, I look at the results, gental wel mannered horses, healthy throughout their lives, I have a 22yr old I started when I was 8. I am conceeding that on most horses it aint good to start them too early, I even said I’d keep the kids off them till they are 2. So why keep posting shit to get my ol lady fired up? Have a nice day,go mop some floors cook your family some supper, do something.
And, no, I am not “one of those bitches who doesn’t care about horses”. I would give ANYTHING in the world to have a life with horses. I’ll go back through A&P if it means that I might be able to save a horse from death. I draw horses, I write about horses, I dream about horses. I don’t see why someone who didn’t like horses would join this site. FHOTD talks a lot about slaughter. Did you even see her posts about horses that were put up in the auction? She mentioned that some horses might be going to slaughter due to some problem and asked people to try to help. Had I the equipment and money, I would have found a trailer and a truck as soon as I could so I could try to save those poor horses.
I am finding this slightly amusing due to the fact that I was RIDICULED for loving horses…now I’m here trying to prove that I do.
Mrs. Bowden, try punctuation please. It really makes rants and threats of violence much easier to read.
OMG. That poor horse. And I don’t know about anyone else, but that kid “riding” her doesn’t look under 90 pounds to me. If I had to guess, I’d say he wasn’t a ounce under 120.
OMG. this man is a moron. he claims to have the smartest filly in the world.. well i say the filly has the stupidest owner in the world!
hey asshat owner, go roll in a pile of rusty nails, bathe in gas and dry off with a blowtorch! >:(
“”Try e-mailing those that get bashed on this site, ask why they do the dumb things they do, Invite them to logg on and defend themselves.”
Oh, please do! It’s so entertaining!
Umm, it is NOT illegal to post the name of a child on any website. It is merely ill advised. Fugly found your names in a perfectly simple, legal manner. She is calling you out on allowing anyone to get on the back of a 7 month old foal. It doesn’t matter how much the person weighs. It isn’t safe for the foal, and not safe for anyone “under 90 pounds”. You clearly stated in your ad that the filly has been ridden.
So you can man up and do a few things. You can keep the Craigslist post as it is, and add a postscript that you understand it is bad for horses to be ridden so young, and you will never allow it to happen ever again. You can learn WHY it is bad for young horses to be ridden.
Or you can be a chickenpoop and change theCraigslist ad entirely. Not that it will help if any Fugly readers show up to buy this foal. You have been called out. Most people won’t want a foal that may have problems in the future from having too much weight on them in their infancy. Take your lumps and learn your lesson.
You are assuming a LOT about the readers of this webSITE. But then you assume that a foal of 7 months can safely bear a rider…
“My wife just made parole and you are pissing her off big time.”
You just insist on continuing to provide us with ammo…
Fugs- give her MY address. That will be amusing.
Just made parole, you say?
Awesome. I’m SO happy that you have animals and children. Because, you know, you can take care of YOURSELF so well…
Mr. “DO,”
The reason most people are here IS because they care about horses and the state of the horseworld. If, I am “on board” here…that is one of the main reasons this site was created.
Bad typing can be “caught” by several easy to use “tools” likely already installed on your computer.
While I can appreciate your admitting the mistake of allowing your unhelmeted son on your very young filly, the threats are simply out of line….and I am guessing your wife’s Parol officer might agree?
Seriously, no one has threatened you here.
You people are a bunch of hypocrites. Fugly,- I don’t see you harassing TB owners for starting youngsters well before they are 2, and not with an occasional ride with a child below 90 lbs. Of course not, you can take upon the poor guy on Craiglist – that’s soooo brave! (and more entertaining) And the rest of you bunch – it’s funny, how you all follow like a sheep. Think, before you type.
Dear Dumb Owner(methinks Dumbass Stupid Owner would fit you better),
I have a few questions, comments, and concerns(all my proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation won’t be too terribly difficult for you to read will it? Not that I really care).
First off, while it really is of no importance I have seen the weight of the child riding the FOAL said to be 80, 85, and 90 pounds. Which is it? PICK ONE ALREADY. You’re giving me a migraine.
Second, how have you had horses for 20 years and lived to tell the tale while remaining so stupid? It seems to me that such stupidity would have had Darwinism kick in already.
Third, When, where, and WHY on this planet did it seem proper/alright/okay to allow ANYONE of ANY SIZE to ride a FOAL. Your 7 month old wonder filly is just another FOAL. The only thing she does that most other 7 month old fillies do not so is RIDE. (And NO I do not believe for a millisecond(that is one – one millionth of a second which is basically not at all) that the whole riding down the HIGHWAY was a typo or mistake. I believe you/your child/or some other stupid dumb ass actually RODE A FOAL DOWN THE ROAD.)
Fourth, If you are so concerned about names and identifying who you and your child/wife are, why did it occur to you that it was necessary for you to post such information here, on the World Wide Web where is it free information and many a thing can be learned about a person with a simple search? (again, methinks it must be the stupidity rearing it’s head again)
Fifth(and hopefully last, unless I think of something else before I finish), Go ahead and call that lawyer of yours already. As you can see(ahhh… no you can’t see through a computer screen.).. As you can read(at least I hope you can read it) no one here is scared of some big bad lawyer. The only thing that seems to be illegal here is the swinging 2 x 4 and until that happens, well, there is not a thing illegal with thinking it.
Oh, one more thing, your FOAL is overpriced. I live in Michigan and at our local horse auction she would sell for a whopping $20-50. That is over $600 cheaper. Even if I lived close enough to rescue your poor foal from your stupidity, I would not. I would however call Animal Control or the local Humane Society to come out and investigate.(and just so you know, that picture of a person riding a 7 MONTH OLD FOAL just might help get all of your horses taken away) I would much rather spend far less on a filly of equal age and intelligence with better conformation and hopefully she will not have been ridden yet.
OH..
SIXTH, WHY THE HELL is all that JUNK in a pen/pasture/field with horses? Do you want an injured horse? It will probably happen if it hasn’t already. Do you want a DEAD horse? It could certainly happen with all that shit around. Why would you want to let people know/see that you live like a pig? So they will feel sorry for your foal and buy her? BAD REASON!
Signed, A horse person concerned about the future of society and the wellbeing of horses owned by people that Darwinism should have taken care of but for some godforsaken reason has not.
Oh, and we do not care if your wife has just made parole. It just makes me think that her parole officer would like to know that she is raising another generation of idiots.
Sorry ladies i have to agree with Mrs. Bowden on this one. I would be very affended and be as angry as she is if someone was attacking my child. I read all the adds and no where it state the childs name. Where did she get this childs name? make you think about who has access to your life? And as far as where helmets lets get real, true country boys dont where helmets…. I have seen this child bull ride and believe me nobody is more serious about protective gear then Mrs. Bowden he always has everything he need. I really dont think that this is that big of a deal Mr. Bowden even stated that the child was on the horse long enough for a snap shot it not like he said the child rides the horse everyday. Everyone has things that may not be the smartest of things you do with your child example… let you child ride the elephant at the zoo or rollercoaster rides you take a chance with everyday things why torture someone just because you think your high class. Remember there is always some one higher on that scale then you and how would you feel if someone dilberately attacked you on something you thought was no big deal and made you feel like crawling in a hole even though you thought maybe you had the best saddle or barn and someone called out a flaw…not very nice is it? can you see my point because i see hers and if you are a true momma then you have felt this way when someone has intruded on your family if you have not felt the way she does then i can openly say you do not care about what belongs to you or protecting what is close to you.
“Hey lets cool all the hating, My wife just made parole and you are pissing her off big time. I admitted leting the kids set on the filly was not a good idea, What else do you folks want?

First off, “claiming” your wife just made parole doesn’t impress, nor does it bring fear to anybody. Secondly, starting your first horse at 8? I wouldn’t buy a horse trained by a child, kids that young no nothing of training horses, not to mention everything else wrong with that diatribe. 20 years dealing with horses and you let your kid ride a 7 month old filly, post the picture of it and can’t take the repercussions? I highly doubt that. You scream of new horse owner and a potential byb at that.
I also doubt that there are more than one person posting under your name.
So this is just my second post here on FHOTD(the first being my letter to the dumb owner). A little about me, I live in Michigan. I have had horses for 10 years. I was in 4-H as a youth and am now a 4-H leader. It’s a great program for kids. The Shipshewana Horse Auction is only about 40 minutes from me and I intend to get my next horse from the big annual Good Friday sale next year. I have been reading this blog for around 2 year now and I have learned much and often catch myself critiquing horses. I have successfully convinced a BYB to geld their stallion(who really isn’t fugly but is also not registered) and just enjoy riding the horses instead of creating more horses for Shipshewana to sell. I hope to become more active on the comments now that I have taken the plunge.

Dumb Owner, I would like to apologize. I looked at other young filly on craigslist who was $700 and got the price confused with your poor filly. I still believe that $250 is too much and that I would much rather take my chances on a $50 filly from auction.
this is for STILLLEARNINGS comment….just so you know the Bowdens go to the local sales around their area and buy colts and horses so they do not go to slaughter houses. I know these people very well and Mr. Bowden keep the babys close to the house in a small side pasture so the coyotes do not get to them because where we live there is alot of them. I have seen the colt everyone is talking so badly about and to be honest with everyone that colt loves that little boy follows him everywhere she looks alot better than she did when she came home to the Bowdens house. They do take very good care of their animals i bought a mare named honey from them and she is very gental and rides anywhere and is 100% healthy i have never had any problem from her. when they buy these horses they always do their very best to bring them up to good health. Mr. Bowden even has his horse from when he was a kid i have seen him still ride her in our hometown rodeo. i wish people would ease up on the Bowdens cause after all boys will be boys and anyone with boys knows what i am talking about.
“Dumb owner,”
Please do not assume that those that read & post in blogs don’t take care of responsibilities away from the computer.
I’ll have you know that I cook and keep a sparkling clean apartment. I also own a registered well-bred Quarter Horse mare that is very well taken care of.
I don’t see why you keep insisting that we all “go mop some floors cook your family some supper, do something.” I find that comment extremely inappropriate, degrading, and sexist. Most importantly, it is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand.
Bottom line: I believe that you are hurting your filly by subjecting her to carrying weight at such a young age. Also, you are putting your kids in danger by putting them on a young and unpredictable animal. Those are the issues that I believe you need to focus on.
Also, you might want to visit dictionary.com. I’m not trying to be facetious; It’s an easy way to make sure words are spelled correctly and I use it all the time.
For your horse & your family’s sake, I hope that you can see past some of the negativity in these posts and open your mind to the fact that you might want to make some changes in the way you handle your horses.
I wish you the best of luck with Charlotte. She is a cute little filly, and she sounds like she has a heart of gold.
This is the same add that I sent to “Bad Ways to Sell a Horse” blog a little over a week ago. First the add looked like this:
This week is has changed to this:
Something fishy is going on, since he sais this filly didn’t go to the guy in TX, but the TX gus is trying to sell her. I really wish someone with extra room could take her on and give her a chance to grow up in peace.
Sorry about the links, I “PrintScreen” saved it and then uploaded to Photobucket. Here they are:
Poor filly on Arkansas Craigslist earlier this month
Poor filly now on AR Craigslist
“i wish people would ease up on the Bowdens cause after all boys will be boys and anyone with boys knows what i am talking about.”
My trainer has a twelve year old boy. He cleans stalls, turns horses out and brings them in, dumps and scrubs water pails, and is taking reining lessons on one horse and games another.
He is respectful to adults and to his peers. Of course he learned that from his parents who ACTUALLY PARENT him and do not simply let him run wild like some kind of escaped creature from the zoo.
He would no more ride a 7 month old foal than I would. In fact, I’d hazard a guess he already knows enough to tell off another boy his age who tried to do something like that in front of him.
Just give me a damn break….there are no excuses that hold water here. No one knows wrong from right, not Mr. I Didn’t Think It Would Hurt Her nor Mrs. Out On Parole.
By the way, I have bashed on the racehorse industry AND the stock horse show industry MANY times for riding horses under 24 months of age. It’s been a pretty common topic here.
Is it just me or did anyone else notice the syntax and misspellings of jtuerman are oh so familiar to someone else on this thread? Just saying.
You know, I’ve just realized that coyotes typically go for small prey that would be easier to catch than a horse yet I have seen it stated numerous times(not that it matters) that the “babys”(proper spelling of which is babIES, better known as FOALS) are kept in a small side lot to protect from them. I am curious as to just what is so wrong with these horses that the coyotes see them as easy prey?
Hey there DO parolee mama, my address is (edited). Come have a visit.
FHOTD in: I’m gonna edit that for your own safety…but I do understand the sentiment!
I think you’ve gone a little too far posting a child’s name on your blog, fugly. That’s just uncalled for. The dad/owner? Sure! Bash away. And give him an extra bash if he bred that ill-conformed little filly. But, I can’t see how “shaming” children is helpful.
By the way, I have bashed on the racehorse industry AND the stock horse show industry MANY times for riding horses under 24 months of age. It’s been a pretty common topic here.
Heck yeah, just use the nifty little Search box on the upper right of the main page.
Rundown of conversation so far:
Fuglyblog commenters: You are going to cripple that foal. You are setting your children up for serious injuries. Your property is covered with junk that is dangerous to horses. Your foal is not the smartest in the world and she is in danger. You are making yourself look like an illiterate fool. Also, you have posted personal information about your family on the World Wide Web, where ANY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE CAN SEE IT. What part of “World Wide” didn’t sink in?
Dumb Owner (self-named): RARGH RANT EXCUSE OBFUSCATE WHINE MAKE UP MORE EXCUSES DODGE ALL QUESTIONS ACCUSE ACCUSE ACCUSE. ALSO YOU MUST HAVE USED OBSCURE HACKER MAGIC TO FIND ALL OF THIS INFORMATION AIEEEEE.
Fuglyblog commenters: We repeat our earlier statements and note that you almost certainly have a spell checker already installed on your computer. Once again, WORLD WIDE Web. Putting anything online is equivalent to tacking it to every telephone pole in the world, pretty much.
Dumb Owner: REPEAT EARLIER RANT WITH MORE PUTDOWNS. ALSO REVEAL ADDITIONAL PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WASN’T ALREADY ON THE WEB, FOR WHICH WE ARE CERTAIN YOUR WIFE WILL BE SO GRATEFUL–NOT.
I don’t know about anyone else on here, but I, for one, send viscous emails as well. I crack open the top of my computer and pour globs of molasses in there. Yes, they sure are pretty viscous emails.
ROFLMAO!!!!! Seams =seems, ripp=rip, add=ad, logg=log, rutine=routine, spupid=stupid, sight=site, till=til, waisted=wasted, yu=you, realy=really, morron=moron, reasearcher=researcher, teath=teeth, viscous=vicious, feal=feel, incouraging=encouraging. You awful researcher FHOTD, lol to bad someone couldn’t find the ABC Check button before they hit submit!! The ignorance is overwhelming, dumb owner seems stuck on people being ticked off because of the claim “smartest filly in the County” comment when in reality we’re ticked off that you are ruining a baby by letting your 80 lb kid (but later changed it to 85 lbs not that the extra 5 lbs makes a damn bit of difference) ride or even sit on her.
“The add was a goof, i copy pasted from another add”
So, you’re also an unhonest horse salesman? Your wife just got out of jail, and your son went from 90 to 80 to 85 pounds in a matter of days?
Win, win , win situation.
And yes, we care about horses, we are the ones cleaning up your messes.
If someone is out on parole, methinks he or she might want to avoid anger and confrontation. Doesn’t look like she’s going to make it, and I worry for your kid.
dumb owner, if your reading comprehension was acceptable, you’d read that there are people here who did complement you on the work you did with Charlotte. It wasn’t/isn’t extraordinary, but it’s more than lots of people are doing with their horses nowadays. But all the good you’ve done, all the good handling and lessons she’s learned, will be for nothing when she’s broke down as a two- or three-year old because of “90-pound kids” riding her. No one will care what a good girl she is if she is utterly crippled. She will end up in the kill pen yet again—something you have already saved her from once, right? I doubt Charlotte’s going to be lucky twice in her life.
Please, just take that one lesson away from us. No one was questioning the fact that this little filly was/is handled and cared for (but cleaning up her pasture of strange junk would be a good thing for those young horses). And think of what you are teaching your kid in handling this little mare in this manner. He’s learning from you. Drop it, go away with grace and take what you have learned from so many skilled horsepeople here. Handle your young horses, do your good deeds, but stay off their backs until they are long two-year olds at least, please. (I’m defining long two-year-old as starting a horse in the fall or early winter, late summer if his/her knees are x-raying okay.)
And don’t post photos of your boy on the Internet. He’s a kid. He deserves privacy and that privacy starts with YOU.
Robin – I don’t think Fugly (or anyone else) knew that was a kid’s name until the owner showed up and said so. It was just one name that had showed up in her Google search of the email and phone number given in the original ad. Even then we didn’t know *which* name was the kid’s until wonder-mom-of-the-year told us. No-one’s attempted to ‘shame’ the kid as far as I can see – he shouldn’t even know this conversation is happening unless his parents have told him, or been so abysmally stupid as to use the kid’s contact info in the original ad.
I ez DO, foregot password.
I es sick and TRIED of yu fuuls. My philly is the best ina world so wut if you’res ain’t smart, and I’s sick of u shit.

Just bash me till you veal better, ok?
Please please please learn how to spell! It took me ages to read your post since not even 50% of the words were spelled even close to correct. It is ridiculous that an adult can’t even spell a 3-letter word correctly. No wonder our country is ranking lower and lower in intelligence when adults can’t spell basic words you learn in elementary school! It doesn’t speak well for your intelligence or credibility as a responsible owner either.
I actually could show you at least 3 other young horses SMARTER! my trainer’s coming 3 year old act dead broke and are even used for lessons! Yes, if their tails weren’t so short you would think that they were at least 5 yo, if you never saw them and only heard about them, you would think that they’re at least 10. They were bred and started by my trainer, and they have a VERY solid foundation. Lots of lunging before being ridden. It’s a win- win situation: smart horse(s) and a smart owner/ breeder!
btw, that guy is a moron. what was he thinkin?
You know, it’s funny. The “DO” and his wife have told this group multiple times to go clean the house, make dinner, etc. They have accused us of being 500#’s and being fat and lazy and not caring about horse welfare. And yet, they have by far the most posts in the comments, which leads me to believe they spend more time inside on the computer than they do outside taking care of the horses they profess to take such good care of.
Now, I’m not saying that they don’t take what they perceive as good care of these horses, and their children for that matter. However, they could be the best horsemen in the world, and I wouldn’t let them near my colt with a ten foot pole simply from the nasty responses they’ve had to being called out on the FHOTD.
If you want to be taken seriously, I have some suggestions for you.
First: Clean up your “small horse” pasture, and get the crap out of it. Just because you haven’t had a nasty injury YET doesn’t mean it isn’t going to occur. Young horses are notoriously injury prone.
Second: Please stop putting any weight on your young horses. The correct response to “hey dad, can I ride Charlotte? ” is “no, Son, she’s way too young. Why don’t we ride one of the adult, trained horses.” Now, if your son wishes to work with Charlotte by working on her ground manners, or trailer loading, or clipping, by all means, please do that. But it should be supervised by an adult.
Third: PUT A HELMET ON THAT CHILDS HEAD!!!! Every time he gets on a horse. Just because he’s a “country boy” does not mean he’s indestructable. When he falls of a horse (and he will….), he can very easily crack his head and cause serious brain injury. I understand you live in an area where helmets are not normal, however, it’s better to be a trendsetter than to be mourning at your childs funeral, or worse yet, going to visit him in the nursing home when he’s on machines to keep him alive due to brain injury. For that matter, you adults should be wearing one too, but that’s your choice to make. Just keep in mind, if something happens to you, who takes care of your children.
Fourth: If you must respond to posts, keep it civil. I’m much more inclined to take you seriously if you don’t resort to profanity and name calling. I imagine if you had kindly asked fugly, either via email or via post here, she might have been much more amenable to taking your name off the original blog post, or even revising it. As it it, you and your wife came on here, and did much the same thing you accused us of doing, except even better, your wife threatened to come and do violence. That’s a great way to make everyone take you seriously (*insert sarcasm here please*)
Now, on that note, I’m going to go feed my horse (who is four, and has only been under saddle for about 8 months), and then I’m going to cook my husband dinner and enjoy the rest of my evening.
impromptu: You are a genious!
Check out that first ad! INSANE!! “would also trade 1or all for equal value in Hay, feed, saddles, milk goats, anything cool, maybe a Ram with big horns, a Great Dane, Mastiff” “maybe a sewing machine for my wife”
Ok, I will trade you 1 bale of hay, the english saddle with a broken tree that I have sitting on our front fence for decoration, and a purple shiny sticker (something cool) for your three sad neglected animals (value should be approximately the same, depending on the price of hay in your area)
Call me!
Oh and bythe way, it’s not that great of an idea to have your TWO young UNHELMETED children sitting on what clearly is a foal (which I assume was a mistake to saddle the foal, put the children on them and then stand nicely for a photo, OOPS! ) WITH A LADDER LYING DOWN ON THE GROUND BEHIND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how he accuses us all of learning everything we know about horses from books and seminars. OOOOK buddy. I am behind fugs 110% on this. I successfully managed one of the top racing stables in Canada for 5 years and worked for a top notch breeding facility for a year prior to that. I also have owned horses my whole life, and have been taking lessons since the age of 6 with reputable trainers. Prior to the age of 6, I used to ride with my mother’s friends. My mom’s friends were both highly accomplished horsewomen and are still successfully showing to this day. safety was always their primary concern. I have learned from very good sources and went to school to do what I do, and am currently in university studying to be a vet.
I’m willing to venture a guess here. You learned everything you know about horses just by owning them and thinking that means you know it all. Either that or you learned from uncle hillbilly down the road who owned horses and let you loose on his weanlings (probably where you got the brain damage from).
You want to know why fugs writes this blog? Because she (like all of us who read it) are sick and tired of seeing idiots doing horrible things to horses and not being in any way held accountable for what they do. If you don’t want to be featured on the site, don’t do shit to earn it. Trust me on this when I say a person REALLY does need to earn being featured on this site. There are so many idiots out there its impossible to feature them all, so she only features the particularly bad ones. Usually the particularly bad ones are teaching others their ridiculous habits as well.
Fugs: Give him my address. If they somehow manage to find the place and get past 2 German shepherds and a Belgian malinios all with ample training in schutzhund (police dog work), I’d like to see them get past me and my bf. Oh wait! They both have criminal records and couldn’t pass the border into Canada anyway!! LOL.
BTW, your wife coming on here and saying that shit is simply proving our points further. You actually seemed to be coming around and being a bit more reasonable and I’m sure many of us were willing to lighten up on you because of that. Then your wife came on here and just embarrassed you further.
Have a wonderfull weekend now go be good house wives and cook your family some good diners and mop that dirty floor.
Are you for real? Seriously? Not only are you an animal abusing fuckstick, you’re a misygynist! (I doubt you even know what that means. I’ll translate: it means hatred of women.)
Just stop posting. You’re only embarrassing yourself. Trash like you makes me humiliated to be FROM the south.
God, I can’t stand these hillbilly “praise God and pass the ammunition” types.
And please, DumbASS Owner, do some internet research on proper horse care. And don’t ever let your kids ride yearlings ever again, for both their sakes and the horses. I wouldn’t want to see either of them injured. You may be a raging asshole, but your children shouldn’t have to suffer for it. And neither should your animals. They deserve better.
Again, I emphasize, it is never, EVER okay for a weanling to be ridden for any period of time. Nor a yearling. Nor even a two year old. (in my opinion) Three is the bare minimum age that I would consider getting on a young horse, and even then, only worked very lightly. Three and a half to four, even better.
Lol, I love how Dumb Owner realises his behavior is so absolutely undefendable that he has to accuse Fugly of bashing his children (where is this bashing happening, I can’t see it anywhere).
Dumb Owner, before you tell people “go mop some floors” – for god’s sake CLEAR UP THAT PASTURE!
I am lost as to where this child’s name was posted? When a phone number search is performed of the telephone number listed on the craigslist ad, it comes up as being James and Skyler Bowden. One would then figure that James would be dad and Skyler would be mom. Most people do not register their phone numbers in the name of children(do phone companies even ALLOW that?). Therefore, the ONLY people telling anyone that there is a child involved in this dumbassed stupidity IS THE OWNERS OF THE FILLY. It’s not our fault they’re so stupid they have their child registered on their phone number AND used the child’s e-mail address for the craigslist ad. WAY TO GO, by the way DO mom and dad, WORST PARENT OF THE YEAR right there.
****Dumb Owner**** Do you realize that if Skyler REALLY IS a child you are inviting nothing but trouble by making that known to the world? Listing your phone under a child’s name? REALLY?!?! How fucking stupid are you?!?
http://www.horseville.com/php/view.php?id=219764 – this ad makes me wonder a LOT about these people. Fugs, bad parent du jour here. They also raise pit bulls, ponies, minis, donkeys, goats, and chickens from what I see by doing a perfectly legal e-mail search.
Now, the Horseville ad states this: “My son is just wanting a barrel horse, And I cant aford it so the paint must sell.”
And here is the seller info:
Seller: Skyler Bowden
Phone: 479-641-7461 OR
479-264-0774
Is a parent named Skyler selling the horse that the kid is riding bareback, helmetless, BACKWARDS, in a halter? OR is Skyler the kid? Evidence from various ads around the net make me think Skyler is an adult unless this child runs wild(which I could sooo see happening).
My wife just made parole and you are pissing her off big time.
LMFAO! Oh. My. Gods. No freaking way, this guy can’t be for real. It’s gotta be a troll. This is too good to be true.
This just keeps getting better and better.
Man, this is EPIC I tell you, EPIC!
Oh, and for the record, I am not a “bitch that doesn’t care about horses.” Like everyone else that posts on this site, I love horses. I someday hope to be able to dedicate my life to them full time. I hope to become involved in rescue. I dream of having my own horse farm someday. I aim to learn everything possible about them. I mainly come here for my daily dose of BYB snark, but as a bonus, this blog also often proves to be quite educational and enlightening. It also provokes thought. While there may be a few things I disagree with Fugs on, overall, I really do enjoy her blog, and respect her knowledge about horses, and admire her passion and devotion to ultimately banning horse slaughter permanently, and calling on BYBs to take responsibility for the horses they produce.
I am sad for poor little Charlotte. The good news for her is that she looks well fed and wormed. She is clean, her tiny little tail is free from burrs and mats. Dumb Owner was doing fine up until he started talking. The basics are there. There is nothing wrong with handling a 7 month old. It’s great that she’ll lead, load and has been exposed to a ton of obstacles she may run into over the years. Again, DO was on the right track. The price wasn’t bad for a handled, though homely filly with poor conformation.
Here’s where DO went wrong. DO over handled the filly. DO let someone put weight on her back and (in the original ad) states “My 12 yr old can load this filly, and ride her up the highway.” DO’s original add basically said to me “I have a 7 month old filly named Charlotte. We have stressed her body in every way we could think of and she hasn’t kicked the crap out of us. We have broken her spirit and done extensive damage to her tiny body. Not only will she blindly follow me into any hazard I deem necessary for her training, she lets my boy climb all over her. I LET MY BOY RIDE A GREEN BABY ALONG THE HIGHWAY. Not only am I not concerned about the filly, I’m not concerned that she’ll freak out along side a semi with my son on her back! Charlotte is just that beat! Anyone looking for a baby that has her spine twisted and her tail pulled, I have the filly for you! I have fed her and kept her in perfect weight! She is Kill Buyer ready at the price of $250 and will load and stand stock still in the kill shoot! She already been exposed to everything short of the captive bolt!”
I’m sorry DO feels he and his family are being victimized and aren’t being given a fair shake. I feel the same way about Charlotte.
DO you wrote your add, you wrote the follow up to your add. Both are bad ads. Do, YOU brought attention to your family. Before you started screaming about your sons name being on here I had skipped that part. Then your wife came on cleared up any doubt as to which one of you was the Father/Son. She’s a peach! I find it amusing that DO feels we should be mopping floors, doing laundry, and cooking for our husbands. DO, who was doing all this for you while your wife was in prison?
DO, I have boys. My boys were raised around animals. My boys respect me. My boys respect my animals. Boys will be Boys, means expect a baseball through your window at some point. It means that he’s gonna lock himself in the bathroom for “extra long showers” during his early teen years and seek out porno mags. If I were to ever catch my boys just being boys, riding a 7 month old “up the highway”, they’d catch Mom just being Mom and freaking out all over their backsides. Boys just being boys stops short at abusing animals. If your knee jerk reaction was to grab a camera and take a picture of your boy “not riding” a foal, instead of screaming “GET THE HELL OFF THAT HORSE!”, your parenting is as poor as your animal husbandry and basic English. If he isn’t riding Charlotte, what is he doing? Is it only riding if she’s saddled?
The multiple posts, all written in the same poor format, aren’t tricking anyone. Fix your comma faults. Stop with the run on sentences. A foal (baby horse) is either a Colt (male) or a Filly (female). You can’t have a colt filly. Not to say with enough bad breeding a person can’t come up with a hermaphrodite horse, but it would be rare. Price your animal’s like you love them. She’s homely, but had your training stayed age appropriate you could have asked $500 to $700 for her.
DO, we aren’t jealous. Your second add screaming to the world that we are “just jealous”, is just another marketing mistake. I’m sorry. Claiming that you’re being picked on because we are just jealous, is like a mom telling her snaggled tooth child that “dem folks’s just jealous of yer butey”. It means nothing. And Joe Public sees right through you.
I started my colt out much the same as you did Charlotte. Many of the people here started their foals the similarly. The difference is that we kept their training age appropriate and let NO ONE, including our children, on their bodies until they were considerably older.
Please stay and read over the archives. We all have room to improve in our training programs and none of us are perfect. Feel free to educate yourself on why it is that you are getting so much grief here. If this site is not to you liking, there are many more with just as much information, in a less offensive format. Please take the time to read up on growth plates and the long term negative effects that come with riding young horses. In the long term it will only increase the marketability of your grade baby fuglies.
gentle……NOT gental, the second syllable is a common syllable type known as consonant-le
realize there are dyslexics out there and for you…hoorah for posting regardless, and keep on writing and I don’t mean you!
but if not, look up consonant-le syllables – lots of words in the English language end this way
oh and the other pet peeve – I’ve got to sale my horse…….no you’ve got to sell your horse.
My dyslexic s.o. would hate me for this post, but all these gental horses that they have to sale are making me crazy!
Look everyone the jokes on ya’ll hahahehe, we got paid from another company to argue with ya’ll for a day the posting about the horse was purposly made to look bad and the buyer from tx was made up too…ya’ll swallowed everything hook, line, and sinker so thanks to everyone that commented on this project. thanks
This is so sad, because in the first add it sais that “this filly is 6 months old, she has been saddled, but hasn’t been sat on yet”. When I sent the add to “Bad ways to sell a horse” I was really hoping for some exposure for the filly, so that someone with more room in their pasture would drive up and pick her up. But that was not to be, unfortunately.
As to the pic of the two kids on a short horse, that was a 2 year old pony gelding – also a sad little dude who needed way more time to grow up before being ridden.
Ok, everybody, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this guy is egging you on with the bad spelling, making it worse every time. So quit commenting on it. The ability to spell has nothing to do with good horse ownership, imo. I imagine there are people who don’t have internet, still live with no electricity and no indoor plumbing, but know better than to sit on their colts.
I personally have sold 2 of our bulls this month (to nice private homes), an old lame cow will go to the butcher end of November, all in hopes to ensure that we will not have to buy more hay at the end of the hay-feeding-season. I am in no position to add another animal on, since I’m having trouble coming up with the $10 Equimax X 5 horses, 2 fillies, 1 yearling, 1 two-year-old + 3 horses need their teeth floated ($50/ a head). It adds up quick. But if I could afford to, there would be no bashing of the filly’s owner – I’d give him a call, pretend he’s done nothing wrong, and secure the filly. That is what’s important.
>>Look everyone the jokes on ya’ll hahahehe, we got paid from another company to argue with ya’ll for a day the posting about the horse was purposly made to look bad and the buyer from tx was made up too…ya’ll swallowed everything hook, line, and sinker so thanks to everyone that commented on this project. thanks< <
I really hope you haven’t reproduced.
“Not to say with enough bad breeding a person can’t come up with a hermaphrodite horse, but it would be rare.”
So, what you’re saying is that they’re valuable because they’re rare, and we should try to breed lots of them to get rich (until the market is saturated). Right?
Dear Lord, if that doesn’t prove you do not have a brain cell to pass around, between you, I really don’t know what does!!!
It is still a legitimate blog, and a lot of good, sensible comments have been made.
However, I think you will find that by doing this you have shot yourself in the foot, as a lot of people now know who yo7u are and where you live, and will be actively warning people about you.
How does that work for you????

Sure you did. Were you paid to look illiterate or do you come by that naturally?
I bet you purposely threw all those gas cans and junk in the pasture with the horses too. And wasn’t there a telephone pole guy wire anchored to the ground there too? You want to know what happens when a horse hits one of those?
Hey Rusty, are you an Angle or an Angel?
The Horseville ad goes back to July, did you plant them too? There is one for an Arabian mare in additon to the paint the kid is riding bareback and backwards.
On second look, I see it is not a guy wire, just a lawn mower, which is so much better. NOT!
I have to admit, the whole “it was a project, thanks chumps” attempt was a new one.
Shhh, someone’s digging a deeper hole…
Hmm…so now we have DO, DO’s wife-the-recent-parolee and someone claiming to ‘know’ DO posting on his behalf. All with the same poor grammar and syntax. *sniff*sniff* I’m starting to think I smell a troll.
Apparently the Darwinian order of intelligence on DO’s homeplace is Charlotte the Wonder Filly, All the other horses, Turnips, Dumb Owner.
This poor filly and all the other animals in this person’s possession….They may be getting fed, but I have my doubts they receive regular knowledgeable care (veterinary and otherwise), they are clearly being subjected to unsafe living conditions (seriously…pick up all that trash! It’s FREE to bend over and pick up trash!) and poor (at best – cruel at worst) riding practices.
BTW – I agree with Fugly that ‘boys will be boys’ is a cop out excuse to abdicate one’s responsibility as a parent. I would never let my son think such a thing was ok. EVER. Children learn what the parents teach them. I REALLY feel sorry for DO’s kids.
I love the part where he says real horse people have his back on this one. Hahaha! What a crock. I wonder what type of people he considers real horse people?
She’s a cute filly, too bad she’s not closer. She could be a pasture pal for my old QH. Because if they keep riding her that’s ALL she’s going to be good for!
I’ve read this whole thing and have to admit it’s been very amusing. Now, DO trying to back out by stating it was a setup is wonderful! The saga continues! lol Do they honestly think we’ll fall that lastest bit of ‘news’? The ads have been posted for months and no ‘company’ is going to pay anybody to play a game, as they are now saying it is. lol
Back to work. Thanks for the continuing chuckles.

“Not to say with enough bad breeding a person can’t come up with a hermaphrodite horse, but it would be rare.â€

You got it!! We’ll make lots of money. Then we can start breeding for color! When the sale adds say “out of my stud” it will make perfect sense.
This whole bit has had me alternately ROFL and ::headdesk:: !
I was actually prepared – as I try to be – to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, as just a horse lover who needed to learn until I read this, in the other ad, about the donkey: “great fun to ride while drinking.†That took all doubt away. He is a foul-mouthed, ill-educated fool who thinks he is a horse rescuer and trainer. And refuses to learn form being told he’s wrong.
Here’s the famous Ranger piece again; the stats about maturity start on p. 6. In my book, anyone who works a horse before it is 4 1/2 is asking for trouble down the road.
http://www.equinestudies.org/ranger_2008/ranger_piece_2008_pdf1.pdf
First of all, what do you expect from someone named “Skyler” (where’s Colby, Dalton, Wyatt, and Dakota?). Secondly- if the fucker in the picture is ninety pounds, then I’m an anorexic Auschwitz escapee.
Anybody more Web-savvy than me care to try making up a Troll Bingo board for FHOTD? You need 25 squares for a good card. So far, I have:
*Anybody who disagrees with me is a fat, bored housewife.
*You must not know anything about horses.
*Real horsepeople agree with me. (“The lurkers support me in e-mail!”)
*You must not take very good care of your horses because you spend all your time online.
*The same, but cover it twice if the troll is posting more than anybody else.
*You must have gotten everything you know about horses out of books.
*I bet you don’t have any horses!
*Ima call my lawyer!
*The same, but cover it twice if the troll can’t tell the difference between libel and slander.
*You reposted my Craigslist ad (or other item posted on a public site)! That’s illegal!
*You mentioned identifying info that is easily available via Google! That’s stalking!
*I’ll get your blog shut down!
*Troll says that this is his/her last post and comes back as a sockpuppet.
That’s 13 so far.
HOLY BUHJEEZUS! I went out of town for a horse show, come back, and I find THIS. I have a lot to say about this, but I will simply keep it to what amuses me MOST.
BO’s wife is threatening physical violence online, which IS illegal and far worse than anything Fugly said.
And her HUSBAND is claiming his wife is a parolee and SHE will come kick all our butts! OH MY GOSH! What a riot! I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Dude… can I just ask… if this is indeed true, how do you live with yourself? Do you wake up in the morning and think “gosh, I’m glad my WIFE is so much tougher than me so she can take care of me?” I assume she’s the top in the bedroom, too? There are a LOT of names that I could call you that would apply, but “pussy” just defines you in all totality… in the fact that you feel like a man by forcing a 7 month old filly to carry all that weight, the fact that you have created all these excuses and backpedaled so hard to make yourself look good, and especially the fact that you use your WIFE to threaten people on the internet. The ONLY thing about you that makes you a man is the fact that you have testicles, and even then I’m starting to doubt that.
BTW, if your 12 y/o son does indeed weigh 90… no 85… no 80 pounds, the HS isn’t the only organization you should worry about coming to see you… CPS needs to be contacted as well! I’m twice your son’s age and I weigh 98 pounds! But again, I think this is an outright lie… that kid looks like he weighs 115.
Troll bingo:
“None of you have the nerve to say that to my face”
No/inappropriate caps
Misspelling/misuse of common horse terms (‘gilding’, ‘brake’, ‘out of my stallion’ etc.)
“Fugly just runs this blog for the money”
“You shouldn’t piss me off because I have violent friends.” (Double points if said people are law enforcement)
“You shouldn’t piss me off because I have wealthy/politically powerful/legally powerful friends.” (Again, double for law enforcement)
Allusions to conspiracy theories
Revealing more personal info than Fugly did, all while yelling about a violation of their privacy, stalking, etc.
Any gun reference
“People who meet my horse say it’s beautiful”
“But he/she/it is so sweet!” as an excuse for breeding the animal
“You all are liberal softies, you just can’t handle my time honored cowboy methods for making a horse cooperate.”
“You don’t understand that not everyone is rich like you nasty trophy wives!” as an excuse for poor care
“But I’ve done it this way for years and never had a problem!”
Fourteen more for you.
Unbelievable! I’ve just looked, and you keep posting – some of you actually sweat very long pieces, considering how insignificant this is in the big scale of things. I would buy this filly right now, if not for the fact that I already own three horses, and my bet is she is not damaged any more than most horses I see in “upscale boarding barns” – overweight, badly shod, but having “Mummies” who are caring for them sooo much (and for poor little fillies – they have big hearts)
Fugly – I like your comments when they are not so personal and actually touch real problems.
@Sherifs Girl: Most people do not register their phone numbers in the name of children(do phone companies even ALLOW that?). Therefore, the ONLY people telling anyone that there is a child involved in this dumbassed stupidity IS THE OWNERS OF THE FILLY. It’s not our fault they’re so stupid they have their child registered on their phone number AND used the child’s e-mail address for the craigslist ad. WAY TO GO, by the way DO mom and dad, WORST PARENT OF THE YEAR right there.
Geez, does this sound like a credit scam to anyone else? Using their kid’s good name to do their financials, and by the time he’s 18 his credit and FICO scores will be utterly trashed by irresponsible money management, putting him at risk for not being able to take out school loans or get decent credit cards to rebuild his financial profile. That was one of the recent identity theft scams, grabbing your kid’s numbers and using his credit, since you’re not likely to look at your kid’s FICO score until he’s working or going to college, and by then it’s too late.
Aficat- That crossed my mind too- stealing their own kid’s identity to cover up their shitty practices.
From the UK…..for god’s sake somebody PLEASE buy that filly and get her away from that idiot and his family!!! I know it’s coming on winter, I know times are hard, but surely someone could just give her a temporary home before passing her on to a more responsible owner. Aaaarrrgh!! I’m tempted to fly over and but her myself!!!!
That’s ‘buy her myself’, not ‘but. Angry typing…spelling goes out of the window.
Well this is what I get for not reading Fugs all weekend, I missed all the fun! I was so busy caring for horses, mowing pastures, riding and training my horses, and giving riding lessons, oh and cleaning my house and cooking dinner for my husband…
Aside from the obvious fact that these people don’t have a clue about proper horse care and safety, much less how to properly care for their kids…
Am I understanding this correctly, that the kid is a boy, and his name is Skyler? This would be the first time I’ve encountered that name used for a boy… poor kid has idiots for parents and a girl’s name, no wonder he’s abusing animals. Somebody needs to share the pic of the helmetless kid on a baby horse with his local child welfare government agency and the local humane society. But I digress…
I can’t imagine how utterly stupid you would have to be to think it was ok to put any amount of weight for ANY period of time on a 7 month old foal. LOOK at it, it’s a BABY. And to do so using your CHILD as a rider? I’m beginning to wonder if someone already beat you over the head with that 2×4 that’s been discussed, and left you permanently judgement-impaired. Do you want your kid to wind up just as brain-damaged as you so obviously are? Helmetless horsie stupidity is a great way to make it happen.
If you love your kids, or your horses, you’ll stop acting like an idiot and LEARN SOMETHING from all this on the Fugly blog- we really do want to help people like you learn how to do better for their horses (and their kids). Safety first!
First time poster, long time lurker. The thought of a Troll bingo drew me out into the open, I whipped one up quick during lunch
Bingo!
Hahahahah Aquila! That’s awesome!
Too funny!!

I was thinking the same thing and have first hand experience with the irresponsible parents that steal your credit and destroy any hope for a good start to your own credit history! Sounds like they are the type of people that have no issues with it… “Aw Junior shuld be suppurtin us by nowe anaways!”
and the comedy continues. Hillbilly Hank wrote to a blog reader:
“I went to the fugly folks seems they dont want sued, and they apologized for not checking their facts”
ROTFL!
You might want to put down the beer – you are starting to have hallucinations.
Oh, tell me he DIDN’T!!! This is too rich!!
Some people will do anything to save face once they realize how bloomin’ stupid they’ve been!
Ok, so did anybody actually do anything for the filly? That poster from TX, earlier, said he/she could take her in, possibly? I could do a drive by and confirm if filly istill there. I’m 30 min from Atkins, I have truck/trailer, will be willing to transport for free up to two hours away in whichever direction.
Impromtu..I’m about 45 mins from Atkins…but would probably be scared to go on that persons property after all the comments and bashings..lol I saw the craigslist ad that day that this site posted it and my first thought was to go and post it to Fugly. She beat me to it. This person is not making Arkansans look good in the horse world, and now I am debating which avenue to go to sell my babies. Def not craigslist for sure. As for the owner a very unresponsible decision to post the add and the defensive uses you have been trying to do to make your life and I assume your kids life bearable again. I don’t even remember seeing your kids name anywhere. You can go to whitepages.com and bring up your number and it will give information to anyone whom you maybe. I just hope that this will be a great lesson learned on how you will sell horses in the future. Also, coyotes will go after anything if they are hungery, I know for a fact since it has happened to me. As for the filly..if you do end up keeping her..please treat her kindly and wisely. She may end up being a good horse down the road…remember horses have the brain size of a walnut and only learn from those who teach them..they have their own thought process for when they no longer want to learn….
OH….MY….GOD…………this guys should be shot and pissed on
oh wait…I was so disturbed I couldn’t even get my grammar right…what I meant was “this guy should be shot and pissed on”…unless there is more then 1…I like the filly…too bad she has 1 of the most ignorant owners in the world……..I’m speechless
Onolark01, should that have been the owner has a brain the size of a walnut, or the filly??
