Completely agree, I think there are lots of benefits to having and ex-racer. I think maybe their value is lower because it's a flooded market and there are so many needing homes?...

Yeh, I think it's an ok price, a little high but hard to tell without seeing the horse. Part of the reason I ask is because I had a very nice ISH for sale a few months back, 7 years old, good to hack, absolute sweetie, no vices. Nicely schooled although not perfect yet. I had him up for just...

Ok, good point. They are asking just over a thousand, so probably about right then.

She just said he had hunted, didn't elaborate. I guess she will just have to try him and see what she thinks.

Yes very true.

Ok, that is what I had in mind too. Just wasn't sure if I was being a bit stingy (sp?)

My friend is interested in a horse, which she is going to try next week. It is an 11 year old, TB gelding. Came out of racing last year. Has only hacked and hunted since. Nice to handle. Experienced ride, but not fizzy or spooky. What price would you put on this horse, as I think the...

Looking for a carpenter in the area and hate to use people that don't come recommended. I need some simple shelves/ built in cupboard type things, if anyone knows of someone who could do the job I would appreciate contact details. Thanks!

Yeh I see what you are saying and I would do the same in an ideal world but I have no menege and my fields are so wet it's not possible to ride in them. My only option at the moment is hacking out. G is not being left on his own he has three others for company, he is just very attached to B...

I had him in a bridle today and he still got away from me... need to start lifting weights I think :) I was thinking along the lines of what you suggested. So maybe even taking B down the drive to the gate and giving him a handful of mix in a bucket. So B feels like going down the drive leads...

Thanks... Glad you are back riding your KS horse! Hope things go well for you! The trouble with G is he is not very food orientated. He is a bit of a stress head (warmblood). B would be fine out except he is a bit of an escape artist when my back is turned, G has to be stabled as is a total...

Well, if the horse is already throwing a paddy not much point in me having one too :D
