The stupidity in this ad deserves it's very own post

Seriously, they get their very own post because damn, the level of unsafe  parenting is too damn high!

Okay, well besides having something against not using the caps lock key and loving internet screaming, this ad doesn't sound too bad. In fact, that sounds pretty good- not taking spelling or grammar into account. So what's the problem? (I'm only blacking out the faces of the kids on this one, the adults chose to submit the pictures into the world wide totally accessible by everyone web.)


"I don't have shoes or a helmet because my parents don't believe this "kid safe" thousand pound animal could possibly have a bad day or get stung by a bee and freak out and really hurt me. "

Why bother adjusting the nose band? Ol' Grey won't mind. Feet too far in the stirrups? Well, at my age getting drug won't be that bad, right? Right? No? Damn.

This doesn't show me your horse is safe. This shows me you're too dumb to know how totally not safe that is or how bad for the horses back it is. That does not say "We train safe horses" this says "We don't care about safety of horses or humans!" Please tell me that horse is not tied to the trailer. Please. Because it sure seems like it is or the horse is just loose.

Do I really need to say anything here? 

Okay, honestly WHAT do you have against child safety or proper riding gear?! Do you actually hate your children or do you just think these kinds of stunts will convince people that your horses are family safe? Maybe you think they couldn't possibly get hurt because that happens to other people, not to you. This is just plain dumb and good lord, that poor horse. Why are you pulling on the tail? To show it doesn't kick? WHY are you doing it with no helmet with someone riding who doesn't even seem to be wearing heeled boots?
Now, I'll be honest, I don't really like kids either but if you're going to have them at least stop trying to kill them! 
Okay, I went to their site. I had to. Here are some more gems.


"We belief that our customer's needs are of the utmost importance.(Just not our children's safety) We are committed to meeting those needs.As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals." 
" DAISY IS A BEAUTIFUL 8 Y/0 PALOMINO SADDLE HORSE MARE. VERY SMOOTH GAITE. (Soooo close! But look, the caps are back!) PUPPY DOG TEMPERMENT. ANYONE CAN RIDE ANYWHERE." 

After viewing their for sale page and seeing all the kid broke horses listed all I have to say is; just because your kids can ride them, doesn't mean everyone else's can! There are not that many truly kid safe anyone can ride horses around. There just aren't. Now if they'd just take off the completely unsafe pictures off the site and buy their kids some helmets (and boots) I wouldn't have that much to say about them, I really wouldn't. *sigh*
