2 things :)

number 1!! you will never guess what the people who want poppy want her for!!!.......................... to breed her with their andalusian stallion!!!!! :O that is just crazy, they think she is really pretty!!! and have already been discussing transport!!

number 2!! this one's a question, if you were looking at 2 horses first is 15.1hh 11 yo stunningly pretty, the other 14.2hh 15 yo not half as pretty and in someway a bit bedraggled looking but good in all other ways which would you go for??
basically would you ever go for a horse you didn't think had good looks (random i kno!)

looks dont really matter to me(you should have seen my ex lol) i think if the horse is good and safe then that is more important to me

 

[checkmate1]

looks don't matter, saftey and enjoyment is the main thing IMO, but if you bought the one not as good looking would you be content with it? I think that might be worth thinking about? X

 

[sallypops]

well she is cute but in a funny way, and i do want to be able to do showing, but i think she's more what i'm looking for :S so confused

 

[ecrozier]

I must admit that my head has always said that behaviour is more important, but I am a sucker for a pretty face on a horse

It has led me to buy two horses that were probably not ideal, but then I do still have both and both have been great! (and I think rather pretty

This is my older girl

and this my boy.
See, sucker for a pretty face!
I would however suggest that is not the best approach and would recommend not to do what I did!!

I think you have answered your own question. If I remember rightly did you have some issues with your last horse? If you did, then perhaps temperament is key for you, however you didnt saywhat the stunner was like to ride and handle. My girlie can look like a donkey sometimes, but when she is in show mode she looks great - why dont you try them both a couple of time and the decision may become clearer - good luck.

I got to say that I feel there's loads of horses out there that fit both categories at the same time. But I'd go for temperament everytime. For me beauty comes from within you know!!!
