[Ottinmeg]

Just had a call from the vet - he has passed the vetting ! i have been ordered to go and get him on Saturday!

 

[KatB]

YAY!! Details?!

 

[Ottinmeg]

He is 16.2hh Belgian Warmblood.Darco lines i think they said. 7 years old. Anyones ride,current owner has taken her non horseriding friend hacking on him! .won 5 BN been placed in 3 Discoveries and just started jumping NC although he jumps 1.30/40 at home.does dressage & xc as well but hasnt competed xc just been schooled with no problems.Very laid back character who doesnt appear to be bothered by anything.Can do flying changes but not yet 100% established,canter to halt etc.flatwork is good but can always be improved.Ridden in straight bar rubber snaffle.Ashe wants to keep him through Uni then sell him on and get a 1.40 horse etc etc.This boy has schoolmaster written all over him!!Vet said he was a lazy bugger lol. When we went to view him Ashe had been on him all of 10 minutes and jumped him over a 1.30 fence! she just looked so at home on him.Best bit about him is the price.Bargain of the century this one!

 

[KatB]

Yay! Sounds fantastic! Look forward to the pics, and sound slike Ash has got her head screwed on re. selling him to buy a 1.40horse when she has left uni!

 

[Ottinmeg]

Kat she has used her uni money to buy the bugger lol

 

[Divasmum]

Great news. You must be excited.

 

[KatB]

She obviously gets either a good loan or he was a real bargain!!

 

[Ottinmeg]

She says she can manage on the loans she gets and yes , i think he was a bargain. I got his BSJA wrong, he has won 3 BN , 2nd in a BN ,won 2 disco and a 4th and a 3rd in a 1.05. How much do you think he should be ?
