see i was just thinking horses are like men, they expect a meal a day and make afuss when its being made, they want it taken to them, they want all thier house work done for them and we have to do their clothes shopping.

DQ my hat comes off to you, please tell me how you trained yours, as mine still has an attitude issue and not even whacking him with a carrot stick will make him behave!
 
not really - could be that owner found her difficult to ride therefore put in foal - calm her down about. Or genuinely wanted foals from her. Not making a great shape over that jump but it could be that the seller isnt david bailey.
 
To all those who have questioned the dealer mentioned in OP, she is a good friend of mine and is definately not a 'dodgy dealer'. She buys in horses from Ireland to then sell on (imo too many but hey!). She, and her team, get to know the horses well before advertising them and don't let them sell to anyone who may be unsuitable. The low prices are due to current market, and the fact that she does have too many (not much is selling and I think she got carried away in Ireland ;) ).

Anyway, id go and see quite a few horses to get a feel of viewing etc. Theres a horse out there for everyone :)
 
Lydz be aware that second hand tack isn't worth much in monetary terms, and quite often they will send an old bridle and ill fitting saddle with a horse. Having said that, its better to have something when you first get your horse, so swings and roundabouts. Always ask if tack and rugs are included, and try to include them in your negotiations. Whatever you go for, take an experienced person with you (and may I respectfully suggest that if you yourself aren't very experienced, make that person a bhs qualified instructor, as every tom dick and harry will think they are experienced enough to help) and be sure to get a full vetting before you buyl, by an independent vet.:)

If you've managed to train a man to do this, then training a horse through to grand prix will be a breeze.
I think you could make lots of money on classes for this where we can bring the men along, just let us know what sort of treats are advisable, will there be clicker training, what sort of discipline should be used!!!!
