AKRON -- Kristen DeGroat wants to make one thing clear: Her horse is not on the menu.

Because of a goof at The Saginaw News, a classified ad for her 3-year-old mare, Foxy, ran under the header ''Good Things to Eat'' instead of the one for horses and stables.

DeGroat has fielded dozens of calls over the past two days from unhappy animal lovers.
''I was pretty outraged,'' said DeGroat, 25, an Akron resident. ''I've owned horses since I was a child. The worst part of all of it, if it had been any other section, it would have just been a mistake.''

The ad itself was innocent enough: ''3 YEAR OLD Registered Pinto Mare, $200 or best.'' It ran like that Sunday and Monday in The Saginaw News and The Bay City Times. Sunday morning, DeGroat got up to discover a half-dozen messages on her cell phone.
