Craigslist: The Best in Lakeville—Feb. 1: Dolls, Horses, Hens, Beanies

In this feature, we take a look at the "best" Lakeville ads on craigslist.

Now, best is a very subjective term. But we'll bring to you items that range from the strange, to the collectible, to the helpful in a weekly post.

Animal Fun

• Tall, Sweet Thoroughbred Gelding - $1

From the ad: "Juan, 16.3h 6yr old Chestnut Gelding

"Raced 30 times with his last race on Aug. 19th. Another big sweet gelding who is looking for a great forever home. Juan has had a couple of months off since he was very sore coming off of the track, but seems to be moving normally in the pasture now. He does have effusion in both hocks but we think he would make at least a nice trail horse with some lower level dressage potential. Located in Lakeville

Juan says please excuse his winter dust from under his blankie in the second photo! Could definitely still gain some weight as he is in the process of losing all of his racing muscle."
