Lol, was just about to do an identical post! I think he's lovely, though I have a soft spot for TBs so I'm biased. Not too far from me either. If I had a) started looking for a decent local livery yard, b) paid off my credit card from recently moving, and c) had more recent experience of owning an ex-racehorse, I'd be tempted to go and look! Unfortunately I'll just have to keep day-dreaming instead...
Thought he looked fab too - doubt hel be for sale v long! I was going to ring up about him earlier this week but realistically I wont be looking until next month unless my car issues resolve themselves this week - heres hoping!.
thanks!! I wasn't being so stupid!! quite like him, albeit not 100% keen on front feet but again, doubt he will be arond for long - but in fairness, he probably wouldnt fetch much more at Ascot sales... I always had a dream to bring on an ex racer and did it twice. Managed to pick 2 of the nicest horses you could ask for and both had absolutely no talent for eventing!! 1 went on as a novice schoolmaster as had no jump over 3" (seriously) and the other one went P2P as would not go near water, despite an awful lot of hours and training. I could coax him in to walk through as long as there was nothing which remotely resembled a jump or step in..!!
