Im not going to message her again. If its meant to be it will be :)

Yes she said im welcome to vet too etc. I offered 2.5 she said she's got 2 people coming to see him this weekend so she will get back to me then

My personal opinion having an ex eventer who behaved as he did , he needs injecting and physio straight away which in turn would make him more comfortable and possibly be able to jump a small course again. I liked him because I felt safe after the last horse I'm really nervous now. Id be...

I've told her my thoughts I didn't offer a price, her response just said a good home is important for him but doesn't believe he will need injecting yet. I don't know if offering 2.5k is cheeky considering he's up for 5 - i hate things like this 🤣🤣

I did ask to see him pop a fence when we saw him but she didn't seem willing. She said in the ring he can plant himself. Im not overly bothered about jumping but nice to pop something occasionally. I did send to my physio lady and she stated tight hamstrings and he over extends through the fore...

Went to see him , lovely kind boy but he unfortunately was quite stiff behind, very tight in his hamstrings. I know at his age showing signs of wear is inevitable, but just worried could be a vet bill straight away.

I'm going to see him tomorrow, i will let you all know

She said he's just not enjoying jumping 1.20 anymore, but thinks he would be fine doing smaller. Id never jump that high anyway 80 max for me! I think ill go and try and also ask her to show me him jumping a few fences to see what he's like with it

Shes said he can get stiff in his hocks, vets apparently advised not needing injected yet, but going by my old lad it would be something that would need done in possibly 2 years. I do expect it in an ex event horse of his age. But I think I'd rather the price was £ 4k or cheaper 🤭 If I like him...

He seems lovely and I really need a confidence giver now. Such a shame I'd ride anything before my accident. Shes said he's been given arothopen but no arthritis so that's the only thing ringing alarm bells as I thought it was given when horses have osteoarthritis

Thankyou everyone. I want him as a happy hacker , lesson once a week, and some local shows. Shes said he's lost the love for jumping in the ring but I'm hoping he won't mind going once or twice a month in the summer and doing a 80 course. I know older horses can go on for ages ( my old lad did...

I am looking at a new horse after losing my lad of 10 years. I recently purchased a new horse which ended up breaking my pelvis, the previous owner hid alot from me and I believe now she was doped when I rode her. So this has massively knocked my confidence. I've since found for sale an 18...
