Seth's rocking horse

Seth is a bargain shopper. Thrift shops, yard sales, the free listings on Craigs List... they're all a problem. It doesn't matter whether or not he needs something or not. If the price is right, he just can't help himself.

This is why there's an ancient snowmobile currently parked in our driveway

I told him early on that he didn't need to buy me horses.

"I'm more than capable of buying them for myself," I said, gesturing at my overflowing shelves. "Plus, I'm kind of picky."

Over the years, he's mostly respected that request.

Mostly.

Every now and then, he just can't stop himself, and I end up with something really weird. Here's the most recent transgression.

At first glance, it doesn't look too bad.

Just your average, run of the mill, crudely carved, toy rocking horse.

Then you get to the hooves. It's a little hard to tell from the photo, but that's a horse hoof on the left and a cloven hoof on the right.

The hind hooves look okay from the front.

Less so from behind.

I don't collect rocking horses, and this one isn't even my preferred scale.

I have no idea what I did to deserve this!

The rocking horses has been hanging out in my hobby area for a couple months now, which is more than long enough. If anyone here is interested in this cursed beast, I'd be happy to send it to you for Seth's favorite price. Otherwise, it's going back to the thrift shop!
