    I thought this was a statue

    Wow, yeah those ads are annoying. :( The horse is an Akhal-Teke which is a horse breed from Turkmenistan. There's some odd photoshop going on but they're very recognizable by their characteristic sheen. :) *edited to add, nothing negative about the photoshop just weird yellow tinge and...

    I Am Horse Shopping

    Well, I don't know her but, not all draft crosses are big. :) And not all draft or draft crosses are wide. My full draft and a draft cross I'm looking at both take medium saddle, more narrow than most quarter horses and many warmbloods. :)

    I know you said no draft crosses but the quality of draft crosses has been on a major rise the past 5 years or so as they've gained in popularity. I wouldn't discount looking at a draft cross, you may be pleasantly surprised. :) Good luck!

    No, the ad you posted states Halethorpe which is in Maryland, I didn't mean to call you out but to call out the seller. I hate ads with incomplete info. But they've posted the same ad in Chicago. Maybe they've relocated or maybe it's spam/a scam? Who knows! :)

    Alfalfa hay?

    Yeah, the hay auction has had some nice hay this year but people bid up the prices too high. :cds: But, I haven't seen any $21 squares yet :) I've picked up about 10 roundbales this winter though which is why my horses look like kegs with legs but, they're warm! I do add some alfalfa to...

    Veritas Farm?

    I'm going to hop in real quick and reply back that I've heard the exact opposite about Williford. Too many horses, subpar care and a guy who doesn't follow through on contracted building jobs. I don't have any personal experience there but, I trust the person who told me and I've seen what...
