Horse Trading

[Farrier1987]

Friend of mine, Sam, was a horse trader. Dude comes to look at a horse, and picks a big bay out of the herd.

“Sam,” he says. “I like that horse.”

Sam says “Well he’s a good horse, but I don’t think he looks so good.”

The dude says ”Shoot, he’s big and strong and pretty, moves nice. Is he broke?”

“Oh yeah, well broke, but I tell you I don’t think he looks very good.”

“You catch him Sam, ride him a little, show me he’s broke and I buy him. Then you deliver him to my place.”

So Sam catches him, jumps on him bareback with a piece of twine around his neck. Walk, trot, jog, sidepasses, everything.

The dude says “OK, I buy, you deliver, heres cash.”

Sam says “Well, I guess, who am I to turn down an honest deal when I told you everything about him.”

So the next day, Sam delivers the horse. Horse stumbles getting off the trailer. Runs into a tree, then just stands, half petrified.

Dude says “That horse is blind! You sold me a blind horse!”

Sam says “I told ya an I told ya: He don’t look so good.

From the stories I was told about horse traders back in the day, there is probably a little truth to this lol.
