What will $500 buy you in Arkansas?

I was chatting with someone about the cute bay gelding below who said that $500 for a project like him was a steal. I thought it was actually rather steep- horses go for squat in my area. So I thought i'd see some of the diversity of what $500 bucks (or less) will get you around here. No snark, or at least very little, just examples.

And now for your daily dose of hilarity/delusional owners

Will Trade a Registered 2 year Old Appaloosa

I'm getting a 2 year old Appaloosa gelding on Saturday, and I am willing to trade him for a horse that is a little older and a little bigger. i'm also in need of a horse trailer that will be big enough to haul three horses. I will be willing to trade him for both since he is registered


Hahahaha, yeah I'd happily trade my older, bigger, probably broke horse and a 3 horse trailer for one runty/stunted few spot, grungy appy gelding with no chest, crappy neck, and who's cowhocked, so overall sub-par conformation. What a steal!  But he's worth it because he's *registered!* Because shitty horses can't be registered or anything..  Just because it has papers, doesn't mean it's a quality horse. I'd much rather buy the 14 year old mare above who isn't registered, thanks. 
Not to mention, they don't even have the horse yet and are probably getting him free or dirt cheap from the sounds of it.
