I will try not to make this too long but I had one of those heart stopping moments while playing what horse will I buy.

My boy is about to go away for a long rest (12 months plus)and I just thought I would surf the Ads to see what horse I might buy when the time is right and how much I would have to spend.

Horsequest.co.uk 16hh plus allrounders page 5th Advert Down entitled SMART, TALENTED ALLROUNDER

This little brown mare was the last foal my mare had before she gave up life as a Brood Mare to be a Happy Hacker with a friend.

I last saw her 2 years ish ago when she went around Frampton Hunter Trials as a 5 year old. She was lovely and I at the time almost wished I was in the market for a new horse. She was lovely as a foal too but very shy. She was never mine as I had loaned my mare out as a brood mare owing to an injury. When my mare had her she also adopted and orphan foal so had two at foot and was good as gold with both.

Its such a shock as its not really the right time yet to buy another horse but I think if she was local (Gloucestershire) rather than Cambridgeshire I would be very tempted to go and see whether the time was right.

Anyway thank you for listening and now I think I will go and bite my nails a bit shorter.

If anyone has been to look at her in that area I would be delighted (probably) to know what they thought and I could bore you for hours about her mum..
 
Aww...she obviously means a lot to you, why not go and see her anyhow?
 
I was thinking the same as you care so much why don't you go and have a look at her even if the time isn't right to be getting a horse just explain to the owner that you would like to see her.
 
go and see her, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't and wondering 'what if...?' I came across my perfect horse at what seemed like the wrong time, and have never regretted it for a second. I'm another believer in fate

Well I have been in contact with the owner who is lovely and sent me some smashing photos. I am going to hang on until my boy has moved to his Luxury Paradise as a companion in May and then the owner is going to email me if she is still unsold. If she isnt it will be the sign I need and if shes gone I can send photos to her new owner.

Meanwhile I googled her full brother and he is 17 hands and being ridden by Nick Gauntlett. I sat on him as a 4 year old and he was a babe. (the horse not Nick gauntlett) I have loads of photos of him as a foal and my little piccy thingy is a soft pastel painting I did of him when he was 2 days old.
