Thanks for that. I will just try and call her (the dealer) and the vet to see what can be done. But I do feel a sense of loyalty to the horse now and dont want to just dump her. However, I dont think the price I paid reflects the fact that she has had this injury. I had been sold the horse to...

No shes not lame and hence the reason I hadnt really bothered to much until her first owner told me about this yesterday She is assymetrical when standing square. I am not going to show her anyway and I dont think her gait is bothered. I am bringing her back into work after being a brood mare...

TBH when I went over to see her I was only able to walk/trot her on the road as the sand school was frozen and I wasnt present at the vetting as it took place in Scotland and I live in NIreland. I stupidly thought the vet would spot anything sus. It is actually obvious now when I look a her...

Thank you for your advice, really helpful. I had bought her for dressage and so an uneven gait may be a negetive! At the end of the day is it worth all the hassel? I might have to just get on with it and possibly breed with her as she had a good pedigree. I know she has had a few foals in the...

Thanks everyone. I just needed to get it out there. Just wondered if this is the reason for her not wanting to canter and bucking like a bronco when she does, I have checked saddle, teeth? Sometimes its best not to go into the history of your horse as you might find out some things which you...

I bought my horse a few months ago through a dealer and had her 5* vetted, I had noticed a slight dip on her left hip but didnt think she was standing square. Now I have been in contact with her first owner and she told me she had broken her hip at 1.5 years old, but was never lame with her. She...

Thanks all! I will try your advice, I do think she is unbalanced and as she is 16.3 it probably is difficult to canter on the lunge circle. Thanks!

Thanks for your help. Yes I am going to have her back checked out ASAP. I was just using my voice to ask her for canter, although I had the lunge whip in my left hand and wasnt cracking it or anything. I will try her without the saddle tomorrow and see if that makes a difference! Will let you...

Hi everyone, just looking for some advice..... I have begun to lunge my new 6 year old dutch WB, I have had her just over two weeks now and when I got her she was underweight as she had just aborted foals at the beginning o this year. She has been a broodmare for a couple of years and has been...

Thankyou for your help. I hope she is the one when I go to see her!!!??

Thanks for your help! The horse I am going to look at had been for sale as a mare in foal but she aborted twins and now being sold as a riding horse. She is only 5 rising 6 and already has had a few foals in netherlands. But was owned by someone in the UK. Hopefully the seller is honest but you...

I am thinking of buying a brood mare and bringing her back into riding after a few years out. What aspects should I be concerned with when I go to see her? and questions I should be asking? Thanks a million for your help!

I recently read a message from Opie about Vanity, I want to know if she is currently the owner??? or previous owner as I would like to know a bit about her?? Thanks
