This horse does NOT suck but the BTV photos certainly do.

It's impossible to know what folks are thinking.

The horse in the ad and my horse Beetle are both out of the same mare
for their mother.

Who knows! Unless they wanted to be honest and show that he's w-a-y
young and capable of being "bad." If so, then I give them credit for
that. He's only two...how much work under saddle should a two year
old be doing anyway?

And at only *two*, he's "been bred twice"!? I don't get that. You
really can't tell what type of horse you have at two can you? He's
already big at "16.1", but at two?? This is probably why there are
too many horses in the world now. I'm sure he's a nice horse, if
related to your Beetle, but still...each horse is an individual.
Shouldn't a horse "show" some promise, or talent, or really nice
conformation and temperament first before they are bred? I'm not a
breeder, so maybe I just don't understand...

But he is cute...but I think all two year olds (that I've seen) are
mostly cute. Their babies...of course they are cute. ;-) JJ

I know, the bred twice as a 2 year old raised my eyebrows. Jumping a
2 year old raised my eyebrows. Jumping a 2 year old (who's rating an
8 out of 10 on the temperament scale) without a helmet had me shaking
my head.

I suspect the fact that he was used breeding had a lot to do with his
color.

Cause they obviously dont think its terrible >;-> They think its
great, and that is what dressage is supposed to look like.

They have lots of winning people to emulate..how are they supposed to
know how wrong it is, when this is what wins at the highest levels?
Not everybody is reading Tug of War and Twisted Truths.
