More from Done Deal.

The apparently never-ending source of terrible riding, bad spelling (highlight of the evening, appaloosa spelled appleusa), really dirty horses, absolutely terrible photos, and much more.



They had three more photos just like this. What I believe are pictures of pictures, somehow ending up terribly blurry in the process. In what universe is this a good, or even half-way reasonable sales photo.




Headless horseman goes jumping.


More jumping questionable objects. I wonder where they get all of them.


Another questionable object. I don't know if it is just me, but I just picture all of the different ways this could go horribly wrong.







I really wish there was a fourth photo in this sequence, I imagine that the landing was not that pretty.


I don't know much about jumping, but those legs do not look right.


Talk about your ill-fitting tack, the nose band is really on this pony's nose.


Oh and pony pooped, yeah, that should really be included as a sales photo.

These last few pictures just made me sad, these horses seem in dire need of an upgrade.


Momma with a snarled, chewed up, tangled mane.


Baby who looks wormy to me.


And this poor girl, who actually had this line in her sales ad.
'Will make a nice mare when she cleans up' *Headdesk*
Also she is apparently half Clydesdale, but I don't see it.

That butt on that filly is very clydesdale, hehe... She has like... no butt! It just drops off!

Maybe someone was selling New York and you just assumed they meant appaloosa? hehe

1. The photographer forgot to put on their glasses. Honest mistake. Everything was blurry, ya know, so it went right by the radar.

2. Now, sometimes ya just gotta get the very best shot you have of that horse for your sales photo, and that shot doesn't always include the entire rider. I bet they spent hours shooting photos to get just the right one! Job well done. I especially like the artistic flare of focusing the camera on the jump rather than the horse. It gives the animal a mysterious, soft look. Art.

3. Gosh! I bet it took them hours to sneak out in the cover of darkness to borrow those cement barriers! I mean, it musta taken some serious skill to be sneaky with a front-loader. And then to place them so beautifully lined up, with the metal barrels just so, and the wheel on the ground is like icing on the cake. Not to mention those road cones with that perfect splash of colour.

4. Ahh, the reverse-release. Gives your horse that ethereal, pained look, like an old oil painting of animals in troika hitches and bearing reins.

5-8. What bravery, for this rider obviously paralyzed below both thighs, to ride off their knees over fences of this height! Paralympics, look out!

9-10. That kid's smile, the beautiful scenery, perfectly-fitted tack, lovely downhill hunter pony... I can't handle the splendor!

11-13. Finally, someone takes the time to let their animals just BE, all natural and beautiful. We've got a lovely Holstein and its little donkey friend, and is that a Brown Swiss, or a British White? Perhaps a Tasmanian Grey?

I feel really sorry for all of these horses, but the jumping draftie can come live with me!

Are those... cement blocks? Seriously? And how do we make jumping a barrel more safe? I know! Lean a metal gate over it. And then jump it by throwing your body forward and jerking your horse's head back as far as you can. I just... I can't even. I can't wrap my head around how a person could look at those things and think, "Yes, this will make a perfectly good obstacle to jump horses over" and then they go, "And to make sure I jump them safely, I'm going to pull back so hard in the air that I choke my horse." I just... I need a minute to pick my brains up off the floor because they just exploded out of my skull after being subjected to this stupidity.

I want that black draft in the blurry photos. He is way too good for that rider. Actually, he's probably too good for me too, but at least I can keep my leg under me...

Yup, cement roadblocks. I really want to know how they even get them there, they would require some heavy machinary just to get them in there.

I think they are the plastic ones that they fill with sand.

Those poor bloody cobs. In need of a serious upgrade indeed, not to mention worming, feeding and general TLC. Damn. This honestly irks me, I adore cob types and would have this lot looking like gold in weeks given half a chance. It's not like cobs are hard keepers or anything *head desk*
