Antifaz has been 'viewed'...

[PapaFrita]

He's definitely for sale, so I got in touch with my ex instructor and asked him if he had any pupils/knew of anyone who might be interested.
He (instructor) came round today and the Ginger One did me proud. He was a bit cross at first because instructor MADE him go on the bit and I was worried he might throw a strop and refuse to cooperate, but he's a reformed chap and not only WENT on the bit, he jumped impeccably upto 4ft (spread) which is when it got completely dark!
Instructor then told me that an associate of his almost bought the Ginger One at auction when he was 3, but got outbid! So he knew him well- including his reputation for being a complete sh:te!
Fortunately he agrees with me that he must NEVER, EVER be hit, and that whilst not suitable for a child, he'll do well with a rider who can sit through his occasional silly prancing and tail-swishing.
So... a bit sad, but also pleased...

Good luck.
Im sure the right buyer is out there.
Just hope he behaves himself like he did for your instructor!

 

[madhector]

Thats really sad

hope he finds him a good home

 

[jesterfaerie]

Bit of mixed emotions then, good look I hope you find someone suitable for him

 

[Weezy]

I do hope you are getting a cut of the sales price

Well, from what I understand, you have turned this horse's life around, and he can look forward to a much happier future, thanks to you. You must be proud of yourself and pleased with what you and Antifaz have achieved. It will be so sad when he goes, though.

Weeeeell, as I've been paid monthly to ride him, plus show fees, etc, I was really fine with not getting anything, but yesterday his owner said that she did want to give me a cut, so THAT's nice of her!

Thanks Caroline

It will be sad when he goes, but if he goes to my instructor's yard I'll be pretty sure he's in good hands.

He's a bit 'temperamental' but basically a good bloke. As long as they don't try to bully hiim...

 

[PapaFrita]

It is a bit sad. I'd quite like to have him myself if I could afford him. We love each other...
