Am i dreaming? Is the horse i want possible?

[EquestrianFairy]

What i want:

a 16hh (would take 15.3hh but no smaller)
Coloured
Light weight
between 5-10years old
Under £2k...

Am i dreaming?

Im happy to have to put some work in, i dont technally want/need a horse that is perfect as long as it is generally sane/sensible and ideally has some basics then im happy.

My current lad is the exact same as the above, except he is 15hh and today my legs were knocking his-its always been a small issue of mine but im not heavy so never really felt it a problem however today i jumped one of my YO's many horses and realised riding as short as i do when jumping siginificant heights plays a huge part in my balance and when i jumped a 16.2hh today with my stirrups at a proper length it felt amazing. I will not sell my lad (no one would have him anyway ha!) but i do want something similar just bigger!

If only i could chuck him on stilts!

It's very hard to find something exactly matching your critera.

Only 4, 15.2hh and unbacked but should grow a little more.

£2450, again only 4 but she is backed.

Sorry, don't know where you live.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

There's some nice yearlings in your budget, but that's probably a bit too young.

 

[team barney]

What about an unbacked youngster?

No harm in asking, I know people who have got absolute bargains by offering cheeky money

I know she is gorgeous, nice little pop one her too

 

[Meowy Catkin]

OK, this is only 2 but I've ridden a very nice gelding by the same stallion. If she's half as good as him, she's worth waiting for.
