Well, I Feel Silly...

On March 11, I wrote about some 'good buys'. Just clock me a good one. I posted about a bay tobiano mare who looked like a good deal to me. Welp, a faithful reader emailed me that the same mare was posted again http://medford.craigslist.org/grd/1088102528.html but this time she's listed as having an old injury and only suitable for lite riding.

*headslap to me* This is why you need a cynical eye when looking at any horse. I looked at the ad and saw a nice looking mare who had apparently been there, done that. But whatever this old injury is, really knocks her. At least the seller finally fessed up in the ad and that's good but I think it should have been disclosed the first time around. Maybe the seller didn't think of it but since it was listed the second time, it must be big enough to be mentioned the first time. Follow that??

So, from now on, I'm duly chastised in that I'll put in a disclaimer on any ad I post. I'll post what I think looks good from the ad(s) but since I'm not a mind reader, it's still up to the buyer to suss out all problems. My bad. :-)
