Virtuoso?

Thanks for sharing - he is fantastic and just keeps getting better and better. Agree he is certainly one to watch for the future! Joao is such an incredible rider too. So quiet yet effective and really loves this horse. I have been lucky enough to see them training at home and out competing...

I am looking to buy an unbacked but quiet and well handled 4 year old warmblood mare but, before I go ahead, would like to find someone who would be willing to back and bring her on for me. I would like whoever backs the mare to really take their time with her and would be intending to leave...

Horse Quest reference 226595

I am currently on the hunt for a young dressage horse but struggling to find the right one. I am considering going to the European Sports Horse Auction (ESHA) in The Netherlands and importing one back to the UK but would like to know more about it from people who have done something similar in...

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Reading your responses and reflecting on it today I have decided to walk away.

Thanks be positive. You are right. She is a young dressage horse for competition. Good call re physio and being there for any vetting. I will speak to the owner breeder today - she wasn’t at the yard when we tried her. She has only been backed a few weeks so don’t think it is a...

I am considering purchasing a young horse and will be getting her vetted if I go ahead but there is something I wanted your views on in respect of her hind quarters. Essentially when you stand behind her you can see that her one rump is slightly less underdeveloped that the other. I think her...

I am considering purchasing a young horse and will be getting her vetted if I go ahead but there is something a little different about her one eye which I wondered if anyone could help me with before I go ahead with the vetting. Basically her third eyelid seems to be visible in her one eye...

I have just found a small hard lump (about the size of a very small pea) next to my dogs nipple. The swelling also seems to go around and behind the nipple. The nipple itself is not swollen or hard. I am taking her to the vets in the morning to get it checked out but have been trying to find...

Bit of a curved ball, but is there any way you could build or make your own jumps? We did when we were younger and actually they were pretty impressive!

As other have said, if you go to uni you need to make sure you have a valuable degree. Personally, if I had my time again and had to pay the current fees etc for uni, I wouldn't bother going. I would get a job and do on the job training. For example, in my industry, there are entry level...

He looks great! He seems to be truly through in his neck and back and very soft - I think it really shows in the extended canter picture. Good luck for 2012!

I think your horse is absolutely stunning. Out of interest, how big is he and how tall are you? I love them as a breed and would definately consider one for my next horse.

I normally clip my horse myself but this year the clippers are playing up. (I really hate clipping too so any excuse not to do it myself!) So, I was wondering if anyone could recommend someone to clip my horse for me. The would need to have their own clippers, be willing to travel to my...
