    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. I rode him on a hack and was unflappable. But in the school he was so lazy (pony club kicking lazy), the lady said that she had to...

    Anyone want to play the "find me a horse game"? =D

    Hello (again for today!) After good advice about not going for the gelding I posted about somebody asked me what I was looking for to see what they could find for a limited budget. I know I should prob wait until I have more money but it feels like thats not going to happen! Bought a house a...

    Is he worth a 6 hour drive?? Thoughts please

    No you are right. I spend nearly 3k on my last horse (a flashy unbacked show horse) - but I just dont have the funds to cover that at the moment and I feel desperately unhappy without a horse. I have been looking for over a month at the lower price range and this time I am looking for...

    Is he worth a 6 hour drive?? Thoughts please

    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...

    Is he worth a 6 hour drive?? Thoughts please

    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 =(

    16.3, gelding, breeding lines of Metall and Farro. Rising 5 years, unbacked. Homebred, mother/sister can be seen. Should have put that first!
