May seem small but if people are looking to spend there money and they see grammar errors it might put "Should I really spend money on this" thoughts in there heads.

I'm right there with you buddy -- I typically won't notice errors like that but I can see it being a turn-off for many people.

I mean, a pure bread horse sounds absolutely delicious though

I'm pretty sure it is "Purebred"

Now that'll be a nuisance for me everytime I look in the store :P

I suppose it could be classed as possesive (I am not linguist) "This horse is a Purebreed" or "This horse is Purebred"

Purebreed isn't actually a word, it's a bit of a colloquialism.

The correct usage would be 'pure-breed' or 'purebred'. In this case the hyphenation of 'pure-breed' turns the adjective 'pure' and noun 'breed' into a compound adjective of the subject. The difference is that 'bred' is already an adjective and the past/past participle of breed. The lack of hyphenation also shows that it should be placed after the noun it is describing.

The correct usage would be "This is a pure-breed horse" or "This horse has been purebred".

Although that's just splitting hairs and probably not something anyone would notice.

Plus, there's no reason to capitalize the word "Horse". It is a common noun.
