Hi I just want to check ....
Looking at a Bateson derby 675kg to travel one horse 650kg with no partition in ( 75kg). So with tack / hay/ water I'd be looking to downplate to ideally 1350kg or 1400kg
So from what I have read am I correct in thinking
1. I ideally want a to tow a max of 85% of...
Yes I was hoping to turn in him out for a few months and then start light hacking.
Do we think that with time to mature, re-starting he will be more forward?
I would not have personally backed a horse at that age, but the lady said she started groundwork and he was so good she just got on...
I went to see a horse cleveland bay X ISH
Just turning 3 and has been lightly backed.
I fell in love with him, he is a lovely person and fab colour.

Hello (again for today!)

I have been looking for over a month at the lower price range and this time I am looking for...
No he is 1400.
The other option I have seen is a part bred Cleveland bay (which is much nearer and I fell in love with!!) but he is not 3 until August, and I want to be able to start light work early summer. Im not really a fan of starting them that early but some people seem to say its fine...
He is in my price range which is the main factor. I have recently had a bad experience with a TB so for that reason I dont want a TB, everything else seems to be TB or has issues! =(
That hoof does look odd!
I knew buying a house was a bad idea, no money for horses =(
