Wow, $50k for a watchtower horse shoe on a 15.00 plate??
Cost of Horse shoe (set of 4 plus farrier work) $100-$150
Cost of engraved plate from any engraver in the world $15-25.00
The idea that "only 2 are left" and they are selling for 50k... priceless..
We all want to raise money for charitable agencies, but Really !?!
Granted, the rings are a cool idea, but Leather halters with brass plates are available though KBC (also in Lexington) are $35-$50.00, Not $66.00 plus $15.00 for the nameplate.
Watchtower Farm, how much money have you made by selling these items?? I think you can do a little more brainstorming to help bring donations to your cause. IMO.
Are you kidding me???

Crystal, this ad fit your headline so well I hope you don't mind if I add it to your thread: http://www.equinenow.com/horse-ad-248452
If you're going to ask $25,000 for a horse whose only selling point is her color--she's an unrideable 3yo with a uterus--wouldn't you at least knock the mud off of her before taking the picture so that potential buyers can actually see the color?
Also, the mare is described both as a cremello and a palomino in foal to a cremello. Maybe I shouldn't rant about sloppy editing, but in this economy $25,000 is a lot of money to pay for a sound, talented horse, much less for one that is only pretty to look at--at least I assume she would be if she was clean. Why would someone even bother to post an ad if they're going to take so little care with the presentation?

I think there is least one zero too many on that price!!
