“Beautiful Black Horse: $25,000
Experience the ride of your life on these incredible black Horse. Unique equine with white extremities, exposed in two Spanish soap operas.”
EXPOSED IN TWO SPANISH SOAP OPERAS!!!! Was porn involved? Some time of Spanish horse porn? That’s what I think when I see “exposed”. I thought society wasn’t big into porn. I thought we were good little innocents, no sex til marriage, shun the heathens! No? Is porn cool now? (Oh thank gawd, I can stop hiding my collection!)
So for all you CLers out there, just throw your horse on a TV show and it’s value will go up tenfold! Plus, that’s the only information anyone needs to know about the horse! Which is great for you guys since you don’t typically include much anyways!
Once you go Telemundo you don’t need info-mundo.
You see kiddies, the lesson here is to get your horse to be the next Thunder, Lightning or Natural Disaster in whatever Zorro-like production is up and coming and people will be lining up to pay obscene amounts of money.
Craigslist: Fixed. Next: World hunger.
You’re welcome world.

Oh come on! Take pity on me, I already got a migraine! *head desk head desk head desk*
Actually, depending on WHAT he did in the television shows, it might be a genuine selling point – except that I’m sure they are thinking it will make people think he’s some fantastic horse and well worth the 25k.
I used to know a movie horse back in England. He was a big, white grey gelding of indeterminate breeding…what we English call a ‘heavyweight hunter’. He wasn’t the best looking horse on the planet – he had a roman nose and probably a good slice of draft in him – but he looked good on screen because of his size and color. He did know a few tricks, although he wasn’t as highly trained as the valuable ‘animal actors’ who command VERY high prices within the industry.
He wasn’t worth 25k. What he was worth couldn’t be valued in money. When he wasn’t filming, he was a lesson horse.
Drummer, as he was known, was insanely quiet, incredibly well-mannered and one of the most bombproof horses I have met. He was even a little lazy. You could trust him with anyone…and that was why the movie people loved him.
Because he could be absolutely trusted to pack around some actor who is being paid millions of dollars, without whom filming couldn’t continue, without a helmet because it would ruin the costuming…and who didn’t have a freaking clue how to actually ride. (The fact that he could carry 250-300 pounds without breaking a sweat helped too).
THAT is what most movie horses are – quiet, decent looking packers. The ‘stars’ are few and far between.
Hahaha, I’m totally naming my next horse “Natural Disaster”…. I love it!!!!
hahaha YES PLEASE!!! that’s awesome
I think he’s from Nigeria. Ask him how many fetlocks the horse has, you might be surprised by the answer. Tell him your last horse only had 3, and you’re looking for a horse that has at least 6.
Might he have some monies that need transferring to certain bank accounts?
Yeah, and he was owned by the billionaire uncle you didn’t know you had!

This is from years ago, a blogger who called herself “Busted up Cowgirl” used to scam the scammers. WARNING, when you get to the part about the botched Brazilian wax job, make sure you don’t have any food or beverage in your mouth.
It might amuse you (or not) to know that the Arab stallion used in the Black Stallion TV series was sold to a ten year old child, intact.
25k is pretty much the standard price for a decent, well bred Fresian in Australia, and their only claim to fame is their reproductive abilities, lol
And,wasn’t the horse ( movie name Shadowfax ) that was used in Lord of the Rings sold after the series and now is used as Pegas in a dinner theater ? They toured with him briefly and had him at the Mass. Equine Affaire. He was supposed to perform there and was in the program, but was scratched when he had a bad practice the night before. There goes the idea that movie horses are trained will perform to perfection. The horse who played Hidalgo was also on tour at the Ohio Equine Affaire where he didn’t want to perform, and stand on a small box, either.
I like how there’s not even a picture of the horse I’m supposed to be eager to pay 25k for.. just a pencil sketch of some random Friesian.
If this horse has white on him, he’s not a Friesian, so… yeah. I need more than “Telemundo soap opera star” as qualifications for that kind of a price tag. And some real photos.
I suppose I can agree that you’d be going on the ride of your life if you paid that for this supposed star. And that they also have a bridge to sell you.
I believe actor Viggo Mortensen took one of the horses used in Hildago.
