Horse Wank? On *My* Internet?
Fugly Horse of the Day is a blog written by a woman who vents about what she sees as the ills of the horse world - largely, Back Yard Breeders. A while back, she formed a forum as a way of tracking a training challenge she posed her readers.

And all was right with the world. For the most part, readers chatted horses, engaged in small bitchery, and critiqued their own, admittedly fugly horses, their potential breeding horses, and the random stranger's grade, unspectacular stallion that produced more of the same.

Until the Foundation Quarter Horse Debate.

Everything was fine - alright, it wasn't fine, quite a few fans of Foundation QHs were irritated, but things were proceeding rather as they always did, until TrickRoperDeluxe discovered his friend's horse was included, took offense, and proceeded to invite said friend over.

Now, FHotD members occasionally partake in a bit of trolling. I'm not a fan, it gives me the creeps, I keep waiting for [info]snacky or [info]sepiamagpie to ban me for simply reading it. However, the recent influx of Foundation QH fans has proved a match for the forum.

There's vendetta posting! There're accusations of missing the point! There's the conflation of "long backed, short necked" and "puke"!

At some point, the thread was locked. And FHotD had its first locked thread.

But wait! There's more.

Not content to let a locked, dead post lie, Foundation QH fans post no less than three posts a) violating Snacky's Law b) pretending to be the owner of one of the horses and threatening to sue for copyright infringement and c) generally begging the forum to let the Foundation QH thread lie.

Which was what it was doing, but I digress.

In addition to the accusations of meanness and copyright infringement (no amount of quoting Fair Use guidelines helps), there are a few threads started, apparently, by more Foundation QH fans who have got their fingers so close to the pulse of the blog, they think advocating slaughter will win friends and influence people.

And there is more stealing wank.

More proof that if it exists, there is a forum for it, and people are wanking over it. o.O

I can't understand a damned thing on that site (knowing nothing about horses), but these still cracked me up.

This is their pony stallion Jasper. "he is a blue roan Sabino rabicano over." Over what? Huh? Who cares? He's the height of fug. Look at the hideous shoulder. I'm not sure what to make of that funky topline, and the fugly, fugly hammerhead goes without saying.

Of course, there are NO riding pictures of ANY of these stallions anywhere, nor is any mention made of show results. Yes, much like our friend Kevin Federline, these stallions seem to have one lone talent: reproducing.


And this one:

My eyes! My eyes!

OMG. Nasty short croup, goose rump, as long as driving through Indiana, camped out, short neck, upright shoulder, downhill and a complete and total lack of any kind of balance or muscling. Hell, even the OWNER admits she is a fugly - but of course there is a justification for the fact she's had TWELVE GRADE FOALS.


Just... the pure, unadultered outrage actually managed to transcend my lack of knowledge and become absolutely hysterical. I can't believe there's a blog dedicated to snarking over ugly horses.

Yes, it's the outrage that kills me. I'm reminded of Perez Hilton or someone snarking over a celeb's ugly shoes or something.

I mean... HORSES.

For a second I thought you were saying he was trying to claim copyright on the HORSE. I am kind of disappointed now, because that would have been awesome.

I made the mistake of reading the first post on the blog and its comments and I am currently too depressed thinking about the price of hay in Thurston, Mason, Lewis and Grays Harbor counties this winter to make fun of the silly horse people.

While humans indeed evolved as omnivores, meat was not such a large proportion of the diet, and when it was consumed, it was lean meat, not the fat-marbled (and more tasty) variety that is usually eaten in the US.

Total rot! Anyone hungry enough will eat anything. I’ve always want to taste horse meat – please don’t shoot me. (pun intended)

As a horse person who dealt with these issues and more in my breed's registry (we have the foundation vs. cross debate AND the color breed debate in the Appaloosa registry) I find this absolutely hilarious.

Believe you me, these people have hysterical arguments like this in person, too. And at board meetings. And at horse shows. And snarking about other people's horses behind their trailers...

OMG I love this blog.

...every time I go to an Arabian show, I think it would be kind of fun to have an Arabian just to get to go in Native Costume.

I love the blingy outfits, and you get to gallop around like a fool. It looks like fun. They don't do anything that fun at the hunter or the AQHA shows. At least not in this country.

OK, my secret is out - what's yours? Are you harboring a secret desire to own a driving mini? Or do you sadly admit you really DO want a Gypsy Vanner? Or, even though you think his training methods are retarded, you think Pat Parelli has a nice ass?


I will read this blog now forever and always.

Thank you, wank!

If there's one truth about horse people, it's that 90% of them are batshit crazy. This is what makes horse-related wank so beautiful...both sides are wanktastic!

I think the only thing funnier than the people crying about how meeean the Fugly blog is the claim that the Fugly chick blogs for great justice.

Cuz snark totally needs to have social value to exist.
