HAHAHAHAHA-topic posted on a local horse forum

what I found on another horsey bulliten board

A friend of mine has two horses neither are gaited, She has a negative opinion of gaited breeds. She also includes quarter horses (gaited?) and some breeds where their organs are supposedly arranged in such a way that it is a negative interms of saddling and riding? I know this may a convoluted way of asking the bulletin board readers to give their feedback on What breed suits a particular riding purpose? Including foxhunting type horses?

I can't even make sense out of this question.

I think she wants to know what breed would be good for fox hunting, and it sounds like she wants to go gaited, but her friend is neg. about ALL horses.
HUMMMMMMMMMM I wonder what kind she has?
I would start buy asking this person what kind of horse her friend has.
LOL! :roll:

[Terri]

You are probably right Erin. It just killed me to think of the "organs arranged in a negative way'? Some people have funny ideas.

[Centauress]

Um - I know this may offend, but I've always thought a lot of horse people are eccentric weirdos!! This proves my point! 8-)

[appyday]

Some people should not breed either..

[Centauress]

I hear ya! One trip to the local Wal-Mart solidifies that statement! :twisted:

Well, I should defend "negative interns"...they help keep the riff-raff out of emergency rooms so the truely miserable can be seen by real doctors. This is where "Dr. House" came from, afterall! :shock: ;-)

I think you should tell her that YES, gaites horses are realigned inside so all the jarring organs were replaced with soft ones and that is why they are so smooth, even when they trot. They would NOT be good for fox hunting, because that requires a certain amount of misery on the part of the human participant, and we all know that gaited horse riders are not miserable.

:lol:

I had a fox hunter at the barn I was boarding at when I bought Dos. He could never get TB to be healthy during season. This particular season he went out and bought a new TB for their big fall ride because his other was not able to go. Found out later he had EPM (Strike for those who know the story) Well a week before the big weekend his knew horse sticks a branch into his neck. I offered to let him take Dos for the ride, He had seen Dos jump a 6 ft chain link along with the little bit of practice that Angie had done with him at the barn. He blew me off as "right what would everyone think of me showing up on this Pony. Well desire to not miss another season won over and he took Dos. He admitted he took a lot of Joking before the ride and almost sat it out but everyone was astonished with that grey Paso that stayed with the lead horse the entire ride.
He could not bring himself to admit that Pasos could stand up with TBs and has since never went on another ride. Ended up giving away both TBs
A man and his pride. Hmmmm.

Great story! It reminds me of the old Dave Jones stories about all the cowboys on their QH's that would tease him about his "gaited pony" until that pony would whip their butts working cattle! I love to hear people proven wrong about the versatility of our great breed. ;-)

[CarolU]

That's a funny story Boyd. I believe Stella took Favorito on a fox hunt and tells a similar story about who led the hunt. LOL

Well, after several people (including myself) supplied helpful info regarding gaited horses the original poster, posted this:

Thank you all that was wonderfully informative. I won't say where I think my friend has her mind - but it might be in her horses' hind ends.

Public service performed!

It looks like this person has used an online translator. Although they may be of help if you aren't fluent in a language, they do have their limits. Often vocabulary and sentence structure comes out just about like this.

the correct answer to this question is "argentine flatlander". wasnt it obvious?
