too good to pick up shit

so my local craigslist had an ad posted for "ranch helper wanted."  seeing as how i know how to do most of the shit that goes on on a ranch, i figured i should check it out.  the ad stated that they wanted someone to clean stalls, do turn outs, and other general barn chores for a few hours each weekend and they would pay $10.00 per hour.  oh and that they wanted someone who had horse experience.  so i'm thinking this is great, i have free time on weekends and i have tons of horse experience, this would be a good way to make some extra cash.  so i send them a copy of my "horse resume" and figure good things will come of this.    apparently not.  in response i got an e-mail that stated "i am afraid you are far too qualified for this position.  we are just looking for a weekend ranch help and it would only be for two hours each time you come.  i hope that you find a bigger ranch which can offer you better opportunities."  apparently i'm too good to pick up shit.  le sigh.  i really could have used the extra cash.  oh and the other ranch that i had applied to back in november that said i had "the perfect amount of experience" at my interview but then never called me back posted an ad again.  i just don't get it.
